Paul Concha Family

Hello everyone,

our family has been very fortunate for all the support from friends and family in recent years. The hits keep coming. I’m organizing this fundraiser for my cousin Paul who’s more like a brother to me, and his family. Those that have grown up with us or even known Paul for a short period of time know he’s always been a fierce friend and family member. Even back to our teen years he’s been an extremely hard worker in all he’s done and made sure he was able to take care of and help his family and friends. He’s always kind of been an inspiration to me to keep going no matter how tough it gets. Now as fate would have it, Paul and his family could use a little help to navigate through recent and upcoming events.

Paul was seen at the ER on July 5th for kidney stones. They did a CT checking to see his stones when when they found a large mass on his right kidney the size of a baseball. They were then referred to Bismarck to Dr. Charchenko. On July 18 he was told that he has kidney cancer and his whole right kidney would have to be removed. Surgery is August 4th in Bismarck. He will be out of work for approximately 6 weeks with no income or PTO hours. Shortly after his procedure he will then have a day surgery for a removal of a kidney stone in his left kidney.

We are hoping to alleviate the worries of any financial stress in this time with missed work so he and his family can focus on the procedure and recovery period. We all know how important that is. Thank you so much!
