No matter where you met Jim Bobo Richardson, you came away with a
strong sense of the kind of man he is...honest, kind, patriotic and
most of all, a devoted Christian.
You may have met Jim in a war zone during his military service
as a Marine during the Vietnam War. Possibly in character as Bobo the
Clown during his rodeo days. Maybe you met him while working on the
movie Urban Cowboy. Or perhaps you were lucky enough to have gone to
school with him while he attended Travis, Hogg Jr. High or Reagan Sr.
High. Regardless of where you met him, there is no doubt you will
remember him as a good friend.
His presence alone leaves others inspired to push themselves out
of their comfort zones and to work harder to make the world a better
place. You get the feeling that Jim has never met a challenge he
didn’t take on 110%.
Jim inspires us all.
In the past few months, we have seen Jim handle a great deal of
personal hardship with this cancer diagnosis and surgery. He has
endured this challenge with the same dignity and faith with which he
endured the other challenges in his life.
Always willing to give of himself for the benefit of others, Jim
is the first to get involved, send words of encouragement and to
donate his time and effort to those in need.
He bravely told us all about his cancer story, the struggles and
the triumphs, and left us all feeling motivated to do more, give more
and live better.
Always willing to lend a helping hand, now Jim is the one in
need and he needs our help!
The cancer treatment and follow up treatments have been
devastatingly expensive. We all know Jim to be a very proud man who is
reluctant to ask for financial assistance. Due to the intensive nature
of his care, the medical bills are mounting quickly.
In Jim’s own words:
“Well, I got the news today! I will have to undergo radiation
treatments next week, 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week for 9 weeks
(45) treatments. I go to VA Hospital in Big Springs on Monday to get
a Shingles Vaccination, prior to my Radiation treatments. I'm proud
to be a Veteran. The Shingles vaccination alone would cost me out of
pocket almost $300.00. I have to come up with $1,850.00 already for
my radiation treatments, so I used a down payment of my SSI monthly
income of $721.00. I'm grateful to have a landlord as a friend who
waived my rent for this month. God is Good”
This is only the beginning of the devastating costs.
After much prodding, Jim has agreed to a fundraising effort. The
funds raised will go toward his medical bills and living expenses.
As we all know, cancer is dangerous. Please let's rally together
to help one of our own.
I know everyone will not be able to contribute, but your help
is desperately needed. We need you to get the word out and share
this campaign with everyone that you know!
Every contribution counts!!
