About 5 months ago, John's dentist informed him that he has a spot in his throat during a routine cleaning and examination. It turned out it was stage 2 throat cancer.
John would never ask for this kind of help, so we're asking for him. He started a chemotherapy and radiation treatment in May. It was very extensive. The radiation treatments were nearly every day and the chemo treatments were at least once a week.
He completed the treatments and at this time, he is in a healing stage. The radiation that he endured was brutal and he is now home trying to get back to life. It will be a few more months until he goes back to find out his status. He has been completely unable to work up until recently. He is trying to do a bit of work to keep himself afloat. The insurance is not nearly enough to cover the treatments and tests that are still in front of him. If you are willing to help John, please do what you can. No amount is too small. This World is a Better Place with John in it!
The donations for John will be moved into a non-profit called "Grateful Beds." This is a non-profit organization that was founded by James (Jimi) Latreille.
John Fitzgerald has been a friend to us all. Always cheerful and helpful and full of grace for other people.
Just to confirm: These funds are being sent into a non-profit called "Grateful Beds." Once the money is received by the non-profit, a check will immediately be directly handed to John Fitzgerald.
