Urgent Jake Update

Hello!
I have an entire post ready to publish for the new year, but this must supersede it.


​If you've been here awhile you know all about my friend Amy and her son Jake.
(Use the search feature to find ALL the posts of which there are many.)
​
It pains me to share that times are extraordinarily hard for the family.

Jake's cancer is back. And it's a vengeful son of a bitch.

As of exactly this minute we are seeking the following:
  • prayers
  • a miracle
  • a benevolent insurance company
  • prayers
  • a miracle
  • CINCINNATI (that's THE biggest request of all)
  • prayers
  • a miracle
  • financial help
  • prayers
  • a miracle
The treatment this go round is called proton therapy. Cincinnati Children's Hospital HAS this and, more importantly, offered the greatest hope for Jake.

The insurance company is being bureaucratic versus humane. This is no surprise. However, it WILL impede Jake's ability to both thrive and to get better.

Right now, insurance is sending them to Cleveland. What?! Why?! Seriously?!

AND, somehow this family has to come up with, are you ready for this, $180,000.

I. Can't.

Amy's friend Marcy set up a go fund me and I am sharing it HERE. Every single penny WILL make a difference. If you are able to contribute some financial help that would be amazing. If you are not in the position to do so, no worries. Send healing thoughts. LOTS and lots of them.
This is directly from Amy's FB page:
I know you are all probably sick of seeing this. I am just asking if you would please share! Even if insurance comes through, we will be paying a chunk up front to get this treatment done. It is his best chance of getting more time, not going blind from traditional radiation, and brain necrosis from regular radiation that he starts Monday. Thank you for all who have given. I don't expect you to give a thing more. Thank you to all who can't give and shared it. At this point I will do about anything to get him the proton treatment, and right now that anything is money. Even if it is just $1.00. It adds up.
My hope is that we can raise spirits and cash.

Remember morning always comes
As night surrenders to the sun
No matter how dark it may become
Don't stop your light from shining on
'Cause nothing's ever over till you say it's over
