Bob Poole's Cancer Treatment
Leith& Paul's dad, Bob Poole, was diagnosed with throat cancer in July 2016. He is currently going through the final weeks of chemotherapy and radiation before he's home free, but expects to have several more weeks to months of recovery after that before he can be comfortable enough to even eat again. He did have to have a feeding tube placed, but if you know Bob, you know he's got such a great attitude through it all. As can be expected, he's been very weak, too.
Thankfully, his wife Pamela has been able to be off work to be with him, but now she has to go back to work as much as she can. She has been managing all of his care with the help of Bob's wonderful son, Paul. Pamela has been with him through every treatment, which has been an all-day-every-day struggle, especially lately as his throat pain has become unbearable. He's in the hospital for pain management as I write this.
Needless to say, with both of them out of commission, their bills have not been paying themselves, and our dear Bob & Pamela just DON'T need the extra stress! So, if you feel inclined and would be willing, please donate as much as you can. Every gift helps and the very gesture will undoubtedly boost morale. If you can't give right now, please share with anyone who you think might!
My hope is that they can have a little reprieve during this hard time.
Of course, anyone who knows Bob also knows how internet-averse he is, so if you are only learning about his illness from me now, (oh, this is Astrid writing this, by the way), please defer any questions about his status to either Paul or Leith.
(We chose generosity.com because of the very low processing fees that they charge vs other companies like Go Fund Me. We want Bob & Pamela to keep as much as they can of your gifts. generosity.com charges only 3% +30 cents for each donation... and Leith & I will cover the processing fees!)
