supporting Lea and kids with the passing of Graham
Donation protected
Graham was rushed into emergency brain surgery on July 20th. A glioblastoma tumour was removed and he has been diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
He is unable to work and Lea, his wife, is focusing on caring for him and their three children, so can work very little. With glioblastoma, a second tumour is much more difficult to remove than the first- it is the second tumour that usually kills the patient- and for most patients, the second tumour regrows within the first two years. This is why these years are of vital importance as we need to remove whatever factors have been causing tumor growth.
Over the next two years, Your contributions will go towards:
-doctor-recommended supplements, proven alternative medicine and herbal remedies
-hugely increased food budget due to doctor-recommended diet
-travel/off-island housing/ misc travel costs to access specialists.
-doctor-recommended renovations to remove mould in their home
-care for the three boys, and time to rest and to love, cry, laugh and just be together, which is of utmost importance at this moment.
We don’t know how much time Graham has left, but we do know that this type of cancer is unusual for a person his age (44), and so we are having faith that he may beat it still. He is a strong person and such a positive light. We have great hope and determination to find solutions for deep health, healing and longevity.
We are so grateful for their loving and generous community, and they feel loved from all the kindness offered so far.
We will send out a volunteer sign-up list soon, please indicate if you would like to be included on that list.
A meal train will also be forthcoming- most likely as Graham's treatment program ramps up and his need for care also increased.
Thank you so much for your support, prayers, and care.
