ChipIn To Help Cancer, Fire, Robbery Victim and His Family

I'll let Dr Michelle Calabretta tell this story because she's on the scene at the hospital in Houston and tells of the family and the situation so well.

"One of our patients, a resident here in Houston with Stage 4 cancer, arrived for treatment last week and mentioned that he lost everything in a house fire.

To make matters worse what he and his family did salvage from the fire they left in their car, which was broken into while staying at a hotel.

He is a lovely man whom we all adore and my coworkers are trying to raise some money to help him rebuild.

You can imagine how hard it is to deal with cancer when you have all of your comforts, but now this man truly needs our help.

I am creating a ChipIn widget page until Friday May 23. If you are moved to help this man and his family please consider donating whatever you can manage.

We will pool all the funds and get a Visa gift card that they can spend on whatever they need."

I hope you will toss in a as much as you can to help the staff at M.D.Anderson Cancer Center do what we can to help this family rebuild their lives.

They will see him this Friday for his regular appointment and I along with the staff there hope to be able to provide the family with the basis for some renewed hope.
