Help Corey Hanke with medical expenses

Donation protected
Cory and Amy were ready to start their lives together. They  married in April (but did not get to celebrate with friends and family until October due to Covid-19). They had already purchased their home and were ready to start a family.  They learned about fertility challenges over the summer and started planning for the process and cost of these procedures. In July, Amy had back surgery to rectify her chronic back pain. Come fall, they thought they had surmounted all the hurdles 2020 could throw at them; however, after a several weeks of intense abdominal pain and two weeks in the hospital, Cory was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. There is a large mass at the top of his pancreas which is too close to blood vessels and the pancreatic duct to be viable for surgery at this point.  Therefore,  he is starting a 3-6 month chemo treatment to shrink the mass before he can undergo surgery to have the mass removed. In order to go home and initiate a bi-weekly chemotherapy regiment, Cory had a stent placed in the stomach to try and push the wall of the intestine out so food could get through.  He has started his treatments and is tolerating it well, with minimal nausea and only occasional pain. We are grateful for this and hopeful this continues. 

As Cory continues to move through this extensive treatment protocol, medical bills are expected to pile up and further delay their plans to start IVF treatments.
