Help Bruce battle the "C" word
Donation protected
Hi everyone! I've started this fund to help our friends, Bruce and Marlene.
A few years ago Bruce suffered a major heart attack and soon after was diagnosed with cancer. Being the beast that he is, Bruce recovered and went back to daily life. But now the cancer has returned with a vengence. Bruce was recently released after a weeks long hospital stay which required life-saving surgery. This is only the beginning. The treatment and supplies Bruce will need are expensive and most likely won't be covered by his insurance. Bruce can no longer work and Marlene is now their sole income. She will need to take unpaid time off to get Bruce to his doctor appointments and treatment once it begins. Marlene has been by Bruce's side through it all and has become a medical expert to make sure Bruce receives the best care possible. This type of dedication is beautiful to see but also takes a heavy emotional, and financial, toll.
Those who know them know there isn't anything they wouldn't do to help, not only their friends, but complete strangers as well. Their circle of friends is large because of the love and support they give us all. I am lucky to consider them both as my chosen family. I love them with all my heart and I know how proud they are and how hard it is for them to ask for help. So I'm asking for them.
Please donate to help lighten this enormous burden on this caring and loving couple. I know times are tough for many so if you can't donate financially, please send all your positive healing prayers their way.
Peace and Love to you all
