Support The Devries Family
Donation protected
Husband, Brother, Father, Grandfather, Uncle, Friend. Sherman Devries is an avid outdoorsman, always up for a good time, and always there for his family and friends.
In September 2017 he was diagnosed with colon cancer. Devastating news for the family, shocking everyone. Numerous CAT scans and MRIs revealed the cancer spread to his lungs. He started chemo treatments then radiation. In winter 2018, a brain tumour was discovered and in January 2019, a 4cm tumour was surgically removed. The brain cancer returned July 2020. Unfortunately the chemo treatments are no longer working and alternative medication is recommended by the Doctors. This alternative medication has optimistic trial results however it is very expensive. In addition, for the safety of himself and others, his driver’s license has been suspended due to the returned brain cancer and adding to the already stressful situation.
Sherman was there to take care of his loving wife Barb after multiple life changing automobile accidents leaving her unable to continue working prior to his diagnosis. Barb was and always is positive, no matter the situation.
His family, friends and colleagues have been asking how to help and support Barb and Sherman. This Go Fund Me page is created to alleviate some of the financial burden and stress while working to overcome his cancer. Donations will help with the expenses associated with the medication which is not covered by OHIP, daily living costs (commute from Arnprior to Ottawa for appointments, etc.), and any other unexpected expenses that may arise. Not having to worry financially will be less stressful for them. All the positive energies can be concentrated on his recovery.
Any support that can be provided to this great man and his family are greatly appreciated beyond any words can express.
