A Cancer Patient Who Lost Everything In A House Fire Needs Your Help
by John Little on 16/05/2008Sad news from a co-worker:
One of our patients, a resident here in Houston with Stage 4 cancer, arrived for treatment last week and mentioned that he lost everything in a house fire. To make matters worse what he and his family did salvage from the fire they left in their car, which was broken into while staying at a hotel. He is a lovely man whom we all adore and my coworkers are trying to raise some money to help him rebuild. You can imagine how hard it is to deal with cancer when you have all of your comforts, but now this man truly needs our help.
I am creating a ChipIn widget page until Friday May 23. If you are moved to help this man and his family please consider donating whatever you can manage. We will pool all the funds and get a Visa gift card that they can spend on whatever they need.
Blogs of War readers are have amazed me with their generosity many times. Please consider tossing a few dollars this family’s way if you can. Click here to help.
