Support for Dale Peterson

Hello to all our family and friends.

I don't know what to say, but, I'll try my best....

I never knew how hard it was to watch my brother go through stage 4 colon cancer about 5 years ago. That was "after" he had had a heart attack, and heart surgery. Those two things? That's enough to absolutely beat anyone in many ways.

And then? He finds out he has stage 4 lung cancer. To say it's been hectic, crazy, just completely overwhelming is an understatement. We had a get together not long ago for him before he had to start up his first of TWELVE chemo treatments. It gave him inspiration and an evening of enlightenment. But....

But, after a 3rd trip to the hospital, which has now kept him 4 days, after his first two chemo treatments, not only is his weakness growing, unfortunately, his bills (every day living and medical) are as well. Dale's not one who easily asks for help. But, you can only imagine the strain it's put on his well being at a time when life's kicking the crap out of him.

I've had many ask me to put up an account for him that have the resources to help him out. It goes beyond a level of appreciation from myself, my mother, and of course, Dale. Mom's been run ragged trying her best to keep him going, and this after still reeling over the loss of her husband (our step father) Gary. I've tried to help out as much as I can, too.

We're trying to keep him above water financially until we can find some programs that will help him out. Nothing like the time you finally get admitted into the hospital, happens to be the time admissions calls you and says you owe this and that!

If you can donate to help him out financially, I/we can't thank you enough. Those that can't, we not only understand, but, always appreciate the prayers many have sent him.

Thank you very much on behalf of the Peterson family.
