A Bucket List Just The Same

My name is Sean Tucker and I am starting this crowd funding page for my uncle Keith C. Benson. He's been diagnosed with stage 3 liver cancer. He was forced to retire 3 years ago at age 60 due to the symptoms that were later diagnosed as liver cancer. He cashed in his retirement to pay off various bills and loans and has since been overrun with mounting medical bills. It has been classified in the last couple months  as localized stage 3 with a 28% 5 year survival rate. Upon reapplying for disability he went back to his physician to get things in order when they found issues with his esophagus that also presented precancerous. a procedure will be conducted on Sept. 30 2015 to try and halt the forming of cancer there. In the coming months he will undergo a procedure called Tumor Ablation where they will attempt to burn the cancerous tumor from his liver. Doctors have told them that generally if it comes back it will most likely be in the second year after the procedure. If they have the opportunity to try one more time they will but if it returns again there's nothing more that can be done. He's been told that a transplant most likely won't be an option at this stage given his age and the severity of the cancer. At best this course gives him 3-4 more years. A bucket list was my first thought. Whatever I could do so he could scratch some things off his list. He loved the idea at first but the more he thought about it, the more he thought about his wife Maureen and what she would be left without, "SECURITY". This isn't about retirement funds for her, she'll have those. This is to try and pay the mounting medical bills and take care of "URGENT" home repairs that he can oversee before he goes so that her retirement is spent moving forward with life without the constant reminders of her loss mate.  She'll miss him of course but it shouldn't  be because of the frustration of a leaking roof or the constant phone calls of bill collectors looking for her hard earned retirement money. They worked too hard all their lives to be rewarded this way in the end. Anything you can give will be appreciated no matter how small. It all adds up. The pictures are of the house. The one is of me my uncle Keith and my aunt Maureen. It was Sept. 19, 2015 the afternoon of his daughters wedding at the reception. That's why he's so happy. Please help me keep him that way as long as possible. Respectively, a humble nephew. If you wish, you may donate anonymously. I will be the only one who knows who you are so I may thank you personally. ME ONLY, NO ONE ELSE I PROMISE.
