UPDATE; WITH SO MANY GENEROUS DONATIONS FOR THIS BENEFIT DINNER WE HAVE DECIDED TO DO A SILENT AUCTION FOR ALL THE GIFT BASKETS AND MISC OTHER GIFTS WE HAVE RECEIVED
John Gill's recent diagnosis with small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma, a rare and aggressive form of cancer, has profoundly impacted his life and the lives of those around him. On April 1st, John underwent an extensive 7.5-hour surgery to remove cancer that had spread to critical areas including his eye, nose, and brain. This was just the beginning of a challenging journey, as he has since been undergoing simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
The intensity of these treatments has taken a significant toll on John's physical health, leaving him unable to work and experiencing considerable weakness. Additionally, due to complications from the cancer and its treatment, John now relies on a feeding tube for nutrition, as he is unable to digest food orally.
During this difficult time, John's wife, Elyn, has been a pillar of support, dedicating much of her time to care for him. This commitment has required her to take substantial time off work, further straining their financial situation. The couple faces mounting medical expenses, travel costs for frequent medical appointments, and everyday household bills, all while managing without their usual income.
Support for John and Elyn during this trying period would greatly alleviate some of their burdens. Contributions would directly assist with covering medical expenses, transportation costs for treatments, and essential household bills, allowing them to focus more on John's recovery and well-being. Your generosity can make a meaningful difference in their lives as they navigate through these challenging times.
