Our dear Steve, always so vibrant and full of life, began showing signs of illness in February 2023. He wasn't quite himself, eating less and losing weight. By August, we sought medical help, undergoing MRIs and blood tests. On August 28th, we found ourselves rushing to the ER where we were hit with the heartbreaking news - Steve had cancer and a bowel obstruction.
Navigating this health crisis without insurance was overwhelming, to say the least. Steve had to spend two weeks in the hospital, and it wasn't until 9/1 that we managed to secure insurance, albeit with high deductibles. He underwent a major operation on 9/28 to remove a 10cm mass and address the bowel issue. Now, we're in the midst of chemo and radiation sessions.
While I'm able to meet our basic expenses, the mounting medical bills are becoming a huge burden. We're prioritizing as best we can, but any financial assistance to help cover the medical costs, transportation, and essential needs like food and nutrition supplements would be a godsend. Your support, no matter how small, can make a big difference as we rely on God to carry us through this challenging time. 🙏 #StayStrongSteve #GivingTwosday2023
