Dawn Richards hasn't added a story.
My name is Dawn. Four years ago I met the person I'd been looking for. The one who can tell, just by the way I say hello, how my day has been. The one who never fails to make me smile. Three years ago we found out he has cancer. He's been through several different courses of treatment including surgery to remove part of his large intestine, and several different rounds of chemo, the latest being chemo pills.
I can't begin to tell you how much I admire the attitude with which he has faced this challenge. With each setback he has had, and there have been many, he has come out of the corner swinging. As soon as he could get a doctor to sign off on his work release he was back to work. He has not complained once. Believing that each day is a blessing he has lived by the words "let God do his work".
Two weeks ago he started having problems with his speaking and losing coordination on the right side of his body. After checking in to the hospital it was determined that he has an inoperable tumor on the left side of his brain. Radiation is pretty much the only option. We are hopeful that this will allow him to continue living and working but only time will tell.
I'm asking for help because the medical bills are overwhelming.
Please help me lighten the load for the man who lights up my world.
