I was diagnosed with throat cancer in april 2007. I have undergone Chemo and Radiation. I have been paying co pays on scripts and gas to and from those appts 5 days a week. My wife has been sole provider and we have been unable to get that bill caught up. We have no hot water,and are unable to cook on the stove. I also have to come up with other money to be able to have a second biopsy becase the lump on my neck is not gone, and cannot continue treatment until they are paid. I feel that being able to cook food properly and cook food properly would be a great asset in getting me back to recovery. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Testimonial

This person has left the following thank you note:

I don't know if I can find the words to let the donors know how much this means to me and my family.It,s been very hard last 6 months, with my husband having cancer, and trying to keep up on all the bills myself.We havent had gas for showers or for cooking for 4 months,and inSeptember it starts to get pretty chilly.I never wanted to worry him about it. I just wanted him to take care of himself. This means so much,and takes alot off my shoulders.God bless all of you,with all my heart. Once again thank you so very much. Sincerly Paula and Ernest Drayton Michigan
