Jeff B. Cancer Expenses

Hi all, my name is Melinda, and I'm Jeff's sister. Jeff, his wife and two of their children (15 and 18) live together in Alice, Texas. This week was a tough one.

In late July, Jeff 's pain finally brought him to the local emergency room. Yesterday, Jeff received a Stage 4 Metastatic Prostate Cancer diagnosis.

You can see details of his diagnosis and treatment plan at his CaringBridge site here: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jeffblomgren/

Jeff has been unable to work and is without medical insurance. His wife works a commission-based job. The bills from his hospital stay earlier in the month exceed $100,000. We are in the process of obtaining insurance - but his treatment will exceed $35,000 with insurance.

The family is applying for assistance programs, but the bills are daunting. We are turning to our friends, family and the broader community for help. Anything you can do will help - we welcome prayers, well-wishes, connections to aid programs, and donations. Thank you for your generosity.
