we have resisted posting this on Facebook so my wife and I are seeking help from the various groups we belong to. You can also share this link with others if you are unable to help. Thank you all who have taken the time to read this even if unable to help.

(5,937 posts)We have had great success by the generosity of strangers. I am amazed and I have cried from what compassion has been shown to us. It really would be impossible to do this without support. I just want my mom to be able to pick up her granddaughter one more time as she is beginning to have pain in her arms and shoulders. This is because they now believe the cancer is also in her bones though we are still waiting on that part.
