Help Richard Nunn with medical and living expenses
Donation protected
Everybody who knows Richard knows he's a hard worker. He's worked mostly in construction, framing, and trim carpentry. He started his own business a few years ago doing mainly trim carpentry. He's never really needed to go to a doctor for anything most of his adult life. But last September started a downhill slide that we never expected. Richard had hurt his back and his hips in a couple different situations and started going to a chiropractor. He would get a little relief, but needed to keep going. He wasn't eating much because he was in pain and started losing weight. From September to mid January he lost almost 80 pounds. After several different doctor visits, xrays, ultrasound, CT Scan, a surgery, and a biopsy we were told on Wednesday, February 3rd that it was testicular cancer. It had already spread to all of his lymph nodes and he has a mass in his chest. We were referred to an oncologist the next day who admitted him into the hospital. Friday, February 5th, they did another CT Scan from the neck down and an MRI of his brain. He has a blood clot in his chest, and a small spot on his brain that the doctor said they're going to treat with radiation. They started chemo that same day. He will do chemo once a month for 5 consecutive days for 4 months for now. After his next treatment they'll do more scans to see how he's doing. Richard has been out of work since September. We have medical insurance through my job, but we have no idea how much we'll have to pay out of pocket yet. Without his income we're financially strained. We're asking for help to cover any medical expenses along with help for rent, utility bills, groceries, car insurance, car payments, and gas for at least a year. I work, but because of his illness I've had to miss work. I've been at the hospital with him everyday, and I'll have to take him to his treatments and any other appointments. We have family who will help to sit with him during the day so I can go back to work, but my income by myself is not enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
