Bob Needs Help to Cover Medical Expenses!
Update:. 8/23/19
Urgent: Bob will be having surgery to repair his broken collarbone, on Monday, August 26th. The hospital is requiring $1000 up front before surgery. There is a dire need to get that expense covered.
The donations that have been made previously, have gone towards expenses from Bob's wife, Ann passing away last month. There were mortuary & memorial bills, & there are medical bills that are still remaining. They did not have life insurance for Ann, & Bob has had to take time away from work as well.
To top that off, Bob fell on a hike on August 19th, which was his 55th Birthday, & also the 1-month anniversary of his wife, Ann's passing. Not only did he break his collarbone, but they discovered he'd broken 5 ribs as well!
So now, Bob is not only dealing with the loss of his wife, Ann, but also dealing with injuries from his accident, & upcoming surgery.
We are asking for your prayers, & donations. Any amount will help! For those who have already given, prayed, & shared, Thank You so very much! Your support has been so appreciated!!

Bob's dear wife, Ann, passed away on July 19th after her fight with cancer. He is left with a broken heart, & bills that are accumulating. Please donate if you can, to help ease his transition during this painful time.
Anyone who has been blessed to know Ann & Bob can attest to the fact that they are two of the most giving, & caring people! They have blessed many people through their giving, compassion & ministries. From baking cookies for loved ones, to bringing meals, to adopting pets, they have a real passion for helping others.
Sadly, on June 5th, Ann was diagnosed with cancer. After many tests, & appointments, she was confirmed as having Stage 4 Neuroendoctine tumors.
Nearly two weeks ago, Ann became very weak, and lethargic, & was taken by ambulance to ER. She has remained in the hospital with complications from the cancer spreading, & affecting her liver & kidneys. There have been many sleepless nights for both Ann & Bob as the doctors have tried to manage her pain without further effects to the liver & kidneys.
During this time, Bob has taken time away from his job to remain by Ann's side, without more than a few breaks. While insurance will cover a good portion of the medical expenses, there will be those that are not covered. That, along with the loss in pay, can add more stress to this already delicate situation.
Bob is too proud to ask for help directly. However, he's said that he would welcome it.
There is no way of knowing at this point, how long Ann will remain in the hospital. The hope is, that she will become stable enough to be able to start chemo soon. The reality is, her health is declining, & prayers are needed for a huge miracle.
If you are able to give anything at all, it will go towards medical expenses, bills, & other miscellaneous expenses that arise. If you are not able to give, please share this post if you can. And lastly, your thoughts & prayers are more than welcome & appreciated!
May we keep Ann & Bob in our thoughts & prayers, & help them through this difficult time!
God bless!
