Wife has stage 4 pancreatic cancer, 3 kids, disabled husband
Donation protected
Our names are Jason and Samantha Burnside. We have 3 wonderful boys. I am disabled and my wife has been diagnosed with a very aggressive stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That has already spread to her liver, the arteries going to her liver, both overies, both lungs, her pelvis/spine/other bones, as well as everywhere in the interior wall of her abdomen. She finally got some state insurance that covers 5 of the 26 medicines. The only income that we have now is my disability check. I wish that I could say that this was the only problem we had going on, but our oldest son Charlie was born at 23 weeks, weighing a pound and a half, only 12 inches long, he spent 5 months in the NICU at the same hospital where they have his momma now. He is doing fairly well but due to him being born so early he has some problems with his lungs and a cyst on his brain from a bleed he had in the NICU. Three weeks after he was born I suffered a massive stroke. They got to me in time because we was staying right by the hospital. Then there is our youngest son Cass who has epilepsy really bad, both focal and generalized seizures. He started having seizures when he was 5 months old. They started as absent seizures that would only last 10 seconds or so. But in less than a weeks time they had progressed into full blown Grand Mal seizures that would last well over 3 and a half minutes, with the longest being 20 minutes. But now we have to fight my wife having stage 4 cancer. I'm praying to God for a miracle to heal my wife and that the good Lord will also keep my boys in his healing embrace and safe. My wife, our 3 sons, as well as myself requires lots of doctor visits most of which are an hour away from where we live. But financially we are struggling and it's going to get worse before it gets better. My wife is the sweetest most caring person I have ever known and we have the sweetest boys. None of which deserve what is happening. I've never felt so lost or helpless in all of my life and now I'm not just asking for help, I'm begging for it! Please, if you can help us in any way please donate if you can. I have lost around 150 pounds over the last 2 years and my wife has lost a lot herself. So most of our clothes don't even fit us anymore. I'm more worried about being able to cover food, travel expenses, and medical expenses for my wife as well as her medications. If you can't donate then please at least share this to help get it out to be seen by as many people as possible and most of all pray for us! My wife is only 33 and our boys are 10, 9, and 6. I hate to have to ask for help but I don't know what else to do other than reach out in hopes that there are some that can and are willing to help us. Our families are helping as much as they can this far, but there is only so much that they can do. I'm holding on by sheer faith in God at this point. I don't know which is worse having to see my wife endure this aggressive chemo (every 2 weeks she has to wear a chemo pump for 48 hours) or seeing my son have a seizure. They said my wife would lose all of hair in 5 to 7 days after the chemo was started. Which they started it as soon as they got her chemo port put in on June, 15th 2023. They changed her chemo this week and the ones she is taking now makes her extremely suseptible to cold. She cant have anything cold to drink, can't go out in the cold without being wrapped from head to toe, and can't even reach into the fridge without gloves on. Thank you, in advance to any and everyone that has helped us this far, anyone that helps us in the future, and anyone that continues to help us as we deal with what is one of the most difficult ordeals I've ever been through and i cant imagine what its like for my wife. I have to be strong for my boys and my wife even though I have never felt so weak and helpless. Thank you again!
