As hard as this is, to ask for help, it’s time to swallow my pride.
On 3-5-25 our lives changed forever. My husband was diagnosed with cancer! Leukemia! Out of nowhere, routine blood work showed it literally out of the blue, early, before he had any symptoms. We had to immediately begin care, that day, as we were told he would only have 2-3 weeks to live.
So here we are, 3 months later. We have practically lived at Karmanos. He has went through 3 rounds of chemo, countless blood and platelets transfusions. On 6-6, he had a stem cell/bone marrow transplant. He has been at Karmanos since May, I am hoping to be able to bring him home by the 4th of July. We still have a long road ahead of us. We are told this process of transplant will be a beast for 6-12 months.
Jim had to medically retire. I am a Realtor, but his care is the most important obviously at this point, so I am not able to take care of him and try to work at the same time. We do have medical insurance, thankfully, but in the past 2 weeks bills are really starting to pile up, including the almost 20 grand we are currently at with only 2 months of his medical bills actually billed at this time.
This is very hard for us to ask for help. Those that know us, know we are normally the ones helping everyone else. Anyone that knows Jim, knows what an amazing man he is, and is always there for everyone. Its hard for him, he is a very private person. But he has asked me to do this for a few weeks now. The bills piling up is weighing heavy on his mind, as he is literally fighting for his life.
We appreciate you taking the time to read this. We are sincerely greatful for any help, anyone can offer, not only anything to help with these mounting medical bills, we also truly appreciate the support, texts, well wishes and prayers.
