Support Jim & Leslie in their time of need

Please consider supporting Jim and Leslie, at a time when they need it the most. This is our opportunity to stand by them with love and care.

On June 11, Jim was diagnosed with an aggressive stage 4 pancreatic cancer and told he has less than a year to live. One can imagine the shock of receiving this kind of news. He has already incurred significant medical bills just in the journey to uncover his condition. Further, as he continues to battle this terrible disease, he will need to stop working, which will result in significant financial strain for their family. Jim’s income is the sole earnings for their family, and Leslie hasn’t been able to work following her accident five years ago.

That is why we are collecting funds for expenses that Jim and Leslie will incur now, and well into the future, such as food, gas, medical bills, etc. We want to ensure they are financially as comfortable as we can make them, allowing them to focus on treatment and end of life care. Further, we want to ensure that Leslie is able to remain in their cozy home long-term – Jim’s final wish. Please know they will use the funds wisely for their specific needs, when they need them.

Thank you to everyone who reached out to them with thoughts and prayers, it means more than you know. Your support is greatly appreciated.

If you feel compelled to help financially, please donate!

If you would prefer to donate with needed gift cards (e.g., gas, grocery, Venmo, etc.), please contact us to coordinate. We also have another option – there is an account set up at US Bank under “Mcleod Family Relief Fund” where you can also contribute.

*We will make frequent updates to this page as this tough journey continues.
