Help Cyndi and Family

Donation protected
Please help me raise my goal of $10,000 for Tony and Cyndi Brown.
I am raising money to help a beautiful couple. I have know Cyndi roughly 19 years and she has faced so many challenges with nothing but grace. Her husband had renal failure at age 15 and has been on dialysis for over 20 years. In 2000 he had a kidney transplant that failed. He had a stroke in 2002 and in 2010 he was diagnosed with Buergers Disease. It is a vascular disease that attacks your extremities. It started in his left pinky finger and went on to attack his right ring finger. Four surgeries later, he lost his left arm and both legs. Fast forward to 2018, the disease would rear its ugly head. Today he sits in ICU with pneumonia following another surgery on his remaining right hand. His wife right by his side as she rarely leaves.
Their love story is one that gives me goosebumps. They met at church in Kansas in 1980 and went to prom as friends in 1982, but both had feelings for one another. And 22 years later they met up at a chance encounter after a class reunion and the rest is history.
Tony’s sense of humor is amazing! He decided to go swimming in my pool one summer and told everyone his name was bob... He once told everyone that he was going to get a new car but it would have cost him an arm and a leg! He was always trying to make everyone comfortable!
They are quite an amazing couple. Always doing charity work for others no matter what their financial situation was. Please if you can find it in your heart, please give.
Prayers and well wishes are also needed!
Blessings,
Melissa.
