Dan Brunelle’s Final Battle

Hello,

My name is Heather. I am Dan's friend, ex-wife, and mother of his children. Dan is my family and for all he has done for our family, it is my turn to do something for him.

Some of you know Dan Brunelle, some of you may know his sons, bonus daughter (daughter in law, but we don't do steps and halves in our family), grandchildren, brothers, or friends. Dan's family is establishing this campaign to help Dan be comfortable and make the most out of the time he is given here on Earth.

After a year of severe back pain and multiple misdiagnoses, Dan learned he had inoperable, stage IV small cell lung cancer that has spread to his spine. Dan has begun a chemo and radiation program. Doctors say if he responds well, this could prolong his life; however, the overall prognosis is not good. Those of you who know Dan well, know that he is a fighter! He has a remarkably positive attitude about all of this, but fights like this take their toll physically, emotionally, and financially.

Dan's family, and those he considers family, are devastated by this diagnosis and are doing everything they can to be here for him during this fight. Due to his health, he is not able to work and any government assistance he qualifies for will not cover his expenses. We do not want Dan, or his children, having to worry about paying the bills during this challenging time. This campaign is being established to help Dan with living expenses, costs of therapies not covered by insurance, and for Dan to work on pursuits of happiness with his family and friends.

Dan has always been one to step up to help others, so we are hoping that others will be able to do the same for him. Dan is blessed to have the love, support, and admiration of his family and friends. If you know him, you love him deeply. If you have spent a significant amount of time with him, he has certainly made an impact on your life.

If you would please post this campaign and help us spread the word to the world, that would be amazing! If you have a special message for Dan, we would love for you to post those messages, well wishes, and memories that you hold dear. Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
