Please help Dean and his family.

Donation protected
As many of you know, Dean is a good-hearted, hard-working family man with a great sense of humor and integrity. Dean is always there if someone needs help… now he and his family need our help. Earlier this year, Dean was out for a hand surgery, then shortly after that he was hospitalized for Covid-Pneumonia and down about 6 weeks, which then lead to his diagnosis of MDS (Myelodyplastic Syndrome), a type of cancer/early stage leukemia. Dean started chemo treatments in Peoria (4 simultaneous shots in his stomach), but soon started traveling to/from the University of Chicago for more aggressive treatments and eventually admitted for a blood transfusion and stem cell transplants. He is considered High Risk and will have NO immune system and will need to be in isolation housing for 2-3 months (approx. $8,000 - $12,000 out of pocket) until he builds one up. His wife will also be off work (unpaid) and isolated with him as a caregiver. Dean has 3 kids, the youngest being his 11 yr old daughter who won’t see either parent until well after Christmas. We are raising donations to help with the lost wages from both parents being off work, travel expenses, expenses at home and cost for the isolation housing. Any prayers and donations will be greatly appreciated! Also sharing with friends, family, coworkers, etc. will be appreciated as well. Thank you!
