Please Help Tim Blackburn Fight Cancer

Donation protected
We're setting up this GoFundMe page for my brother in law Timmy Blackburn who was recently diagnosed with Stage 3 stomach cancer after having an emergency surgery to repair his perforated stomach lining. Anyone facing a battle with cancer will have countless medical costs, but Timmy's situation is special. Timmy does not have medical insurance since a neck injury 10 years ago left him disabled. Sadly he lost his medical insurance when he could no longer physically work after dedicating 24 years to Crusader Paper Company. Everything Timmy has worked for in those 24  years (retirement fund, investments, savings, etc.) has been depleted while continuing to support his family. TREATMENT The oncologist at Dana Farber wants to aggressively treat Timmy's cancer starting with 6 months of chemotherapy, then surgery to remove the tumor, followed by 6 more months of chemotherapy. HOW YOUR DONATIONS WILL HELP? Your donations will go straight to Timmy's medical care while he is fighting for his life. Your donations will allow his wife (our sister) to stay at home to take care of Timmy at this most crucial time and help with his hospital bills, help pay for his expensive medications, etc. Your donations will lessen Timmy's financial burden and allow him to focus on his fight with cancer. HOW SOON? Your donations will help immediately. Between Timmy's emergency stomach surgery, visits to his oncologist and surgeon, visiting nurses and medications Timmy has already incurred many thousands of dollars in bills. Unfortunately, patients without adequate medical insurance or the financial means to self pay are treated much differently and our hope is to give Timmy the opportunity to win this very difficult battle for his life ahead of him.
