Urgent need from Kevin and Charlotte Cruse!

We are raising money from friends and family to help Kevin and Charlotte Cruse with their immediate expenses following Charlotte's breast cancer surgery in December, and now Kevin's diagnosis of Peripheral T-Cell Lymphoma (PTCL). Many of you may know that 13 years ago Kevin survived stage 4 large B-cell lymphoma following surgery to repair his back from that cancer. As is common with lymphoma, once you get past one type another often can develop--and Kevin was taken to the ER last Sunday night with a very high fever and other unusual symptoms.

It's taken over a week, but he finally got a definitive diagnosis today that lymphoma has returned, only this time in a very aggressive and rare form requiring immediate treatment. Unfortunately, Kevin does not have disability insurance and without him working and with Charlotte needing to be in the hospital with him, their household income has been slashed. All the while the medical bills from Charlotte's cancer treatment are starting to come in and soon Kevin's will as well.

Many family and friends have been reaching out, concerned about their wellbeing and wanting to know how to help. Since most of us can't drop by their home (or hospital room) with a frozen casserole or other dish, we can put some cash into a kitty that can help them with their ordinary household expenses in addition to all the added costs from treatment and recovery.

Here's your chance to make a difference in the lives of some pretty special people, and I'm not just saying that because I'm related to them! Anything you can do is GREATLY appreciated--especially keeping them in your prayers. God has healed him of this similar disease once before and He can do so again.

Thank you and God bless!

Steve Cruse
