Support for Ron Craft's Wife, Michelle, and Family

A loving husband, father, grandfather and family member to many, Ronnie (Ron) Craft was a warm, funny and a good-hearted person. He was the type of man who would do anything to help out a family member or friend in their time of need, especially his children and grandchildren.

Unfortunately, what he and family initially thought was a persistent sinus infection ended up to be a life-threatening illness. Doctors informed my sister-in-law, Michelle, that Ron had a cancerous tumor located in his sinus cavity that had made its way into his brain.

Steadfastly staying by Ron's side at Albany Medical Center for several weeks, Michelle watched Ron fight hard to allow for a treatment to combat his cancer, but it was with deep sadness that she learned the cancer was too aggressive. Ron tragically lost his battle passing away peacefully on November 8.

Given Ron's illness was very challenging, the resulting medical costs are high, and my sister-in-law, Michelle, now faces paying off bills from Ron's hospital stay that included a tracheotmy surgery prior to his passing. She also continues to care for and support her special needs adult daughter and three grandchildren who live with her.

Our hope is that this campaign, will provide people with the opportunity to help offset the medical costs incurred for Ron's hospital stay, surgery, and related expenses, and in support of Michelle and her family. Thank you!
