It's our turn:Helping Gary&Bern Gibson beat cancer

The last 16 months have been difficult for all of us. Just as the COVID cloud is lifting, and we are thrilled to see the smiles of loved ones, we hear that our friends Gary & Bernadette Gibson have a new medical (financial) and personal challenge to conquer - Stage 3 cancer with a treatment plan that includes chemo and radiation 5 days a week for 8 weeks.

Since his diagnosis with tonsil, tongue and lymph node squamous cell cancer a couple of weeks ago, they've undergone a whirlwind of appointments including extensive dental preparations needed prior to the start of daily chemo and radiation. To help with those and all expenses related to intensive medical treatments, missed employment and the unexpected costs that arise at times like these, we've put together this fundraiser. We're sure that you'd agree we don't know a more giving, caring and kind couple; now it's our turn to return a portion of the generosity they have lavished on us. To help Gary & Bern focus directly on healing, we launched this fundraiser. Our goal is simple: Support them in prayer and relieve as much of the financial burden as possible. You know they'd never ask for themselves, so we're asking for them.

If you have found yourself on this page, you are likely a childhood friend, family member, colleague, neighbor or a member of one of the many ministries Bern & Gary have poured themselves into over the years. Each of you have touched their lives in one way or another, and we're sure they've touched yours. To contact Gary and Bern for now, please visit their Caringbridge site at https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/garygibson3

Thank you for your concern , your friendship, and your ongoing prayers. It's time, village. Let's do this!
