Josh Reid's Kidney Cancer Fund

Hi, my name is Wendy Livaudais. Josh Reid is my oldest son. He is an awesome husband to his lovely wife Miranda and an amazing Dad to his 10-year-old daughter Haylin. Josh was recently diagnosed with Kidney Cancer on February 13th. It is extremely rare for someone as healthy and young as Josh to be diagnosed with this type of cancer. In March, Josh will undergo a 5-hour surgery to have a partial nephrectomy(partial kidney removal) in Idaho.

Josh has many family and friends with a desire to do all we can to support him and lessen his burden in as many ways as possible so he has one task alone; to focus on the main fight-- the one for his health. It's time to show Josh the same kind of support he has shown his friends and family his whole life.

Unfortunately, cancer’s burden doesn’t stop with symptoms and treatments. The financial cost is just as unfair. Our system of healthcare is both a blessing and a curse. Josh will be relying on the good work of great doctors and nurses as he follows their recovery plan, yet at the same time, he will face a gauntlet of deductibles, co-pays, follow-up testing and appointments, cost of fuel traveling to and from Idaho. His wife will have to miss work to care for their special needs child since Josh is usually her everyday caregiver.

Helping financially, even in small increments, chips away at that weight. Spread across enough of us, we can help bear a big portion of his burden.

Thank you for showing Josh how much you care. Your contribution and support truly make a difference. Together, we can join Josh in Fighting and beating Cancer!! If you cannot help financially, please keep us in your prayers and share his go fund me.
