Helping Mitch VanEck Fight Cancer
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Leeah and I'm helping spread the word to help out a good friend and co-worker Mitch VanEck. Even though Mitch is the blood uncle to a few, he is lovingly know as "Uncle Mitch" to many.
In June of this year, Uncle Mitch was admitted to the hospital when he wasn't feeling well with dizzy spells. It was then when cancer spots were found on his lungs, liver and a suspicious cyst on his kidney. As he is waiting his transfer for advanced medical attention at Stanford University School of Medicine, his medical and personal bills are piling up as he is currently working on getting disability assistance from the state.
Uncle Mitch has no idea that we are doing this for him and would probably be upset if he did, but he would do the same for anyone in his life. Mitch would be the first to step up and over generously help someone in need.
Let's all show Uncle Mitch how much he is loved and supported as we all battle together. Cancer will not win against this army! We've got your back Uncle Mitch!
