Joe Hollaway Cancer Fight Help

NOTE: Joe Hollaway has passed away. Sadly, his time was very short. This is a working class family, and there was no life insurance, so we are trying to raise funds for Joe's burial and to catch up on expenses for bills that were unpaid while Robbie missed work caring for Joe. I would really love to help this family. Please share on your FB pages. Every share may lead to lots of small donations adding up. Many locally have helped with small face to face donations, and I so appreciate that. Please help. This family was struggling before this unexpected event. Thanks so much.

Original post: 

My tenant and friend Robbie Hollaway and her family just discovered that her husband, Joe "Bodie" Hollaway,  has squamous cell Stage 4 carcinoma in his liver and other places.He also has severe heart problems, so he cannot have surgery or undergo chemo. They have sent him home on hospice, and have no idea whether it will be weeks or months. This family was already struggling, and Joe has no life insurance or burial benefits. His wife also has no transportation, and is missing work due to the fact that someone has to always be with him, and she is also his medical liaison. This Native American family has great faith and hope, but few resources. We have set the goal for this fund to include support funds for the family, since we do not know how long Joe's battle will be, or the costs incurred, as well as funds to provide a proper burial and funeral. If we raise enough to take care of that and provide Robbie with transportation as well, that will be a blessing. 

Whatever you can donate would be appreciated--even small amounts add up.

And please share, share, share! Freefunder is a great no-fee platform that also pays into the fund after 100 and 500 shares! So even if you are unable to donate, you can share and help raise funds!

Joe "Bodie" Hollaway is a man with a great laugh and a great spirit. Thank you for your help.

And prayers are always appreciated.
