Jay Patnode medical expenses

Hi! My name is Mellissa, and a lot of you know my good friends Jay and Stacie Patnode. Jay has been struggling with his health for a while now, and on November 28th of this year he was hospitalized at Essentia Health in Duluth, where he remains still. He has been unable to eat, and has been getting his nutrition via tube feeding and then via IV. His wife Stacie has been unable to work so that she can be with her husband at this stressful time. Just this week Jay was diagnosed with Aplastic T-Cell Lymphoma. The treatment plan and prognosis are still unclear as Jay goes through further testing. I am starting a fundraising effort to help Jay and Stacie cover day to day expenses and Jay’s medical bills. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
