Hi, friends of Tom and Gina... Their cancer journey started last year. Some people like you, have asked how they can help. So, a group of us worked together with Tom's wife Gina to make that possible.
This crowdfunding platform, Fundrazr, allows for all the contributions to go toward the cause directly, so it’s an effective and convenient way for those moved, to take part financially, or to create awareness by sharing links in various ways. Please take a moment to take in the challenges they are facing here on this campaign page and consider personally contributing in one of the many ways. You’re also invited to join us in praying for them and getting updates here.
The Journey of Tom & Gina
Tom and Gina's Cancer journey started in July 2020. Tom was diagnosed with GE Junctional Carcinoma, a malignant neoplasm metastatic cancer of the liver. It is stage 4 (non-curable, but treatable). With God's grace and current immunotherapy the doctor said he could possibly beat the cancer.
He started chemo in July 2020. His doctors are far away and the treatments are over three hours each session. They often need to rely on others for this transportation and are grateful.
Tom has not worked since July 2020 which has left them unable to afford the health insurance he had. He has started Social Security disability, and the hospital catastrophic fund paid some of the $108,000 bill, but are still carrying payments on the balance.
In Aug. of 2021 an MRI revealed three small cancerous lesions on the brain which needed powerful radiation treatments which he has received. Tom will remain on the chemo as his cancer markers went from 180 to 1582 and continue to fluctuate. He has trouble walking, so they are waiting to see if medicare will approve the purchase of a power chair, this may be another expense.
Tom and Gina are thankful for any and all support. You can follow more updates on Gina's Facebook here, and they share this scripture verse as a reminder that God is their strength...
"He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength." - Isaiah 40:29
If you can help them financially with the debt they’re incurring, or meeting their daily needs, know that you’re encouraging their hearts also. Sharing the link to this campaign to your networks via text, email, messenger, social media, and written letters with others to consider contributing is also vital in helping this campaign.
Thank you for your time and please consider helping Tom and Gina through this cancer journey in a personal way.
Blessings!!!
- Friends of Tom and Gina
