Serving in the military is one of the best ways to serve your country. One of the those soldiers is now needing his country. We are asking for your help. Army sergeant Shay Hopkin has been diagnosed with Kidney Cancer. He was stationed in Germany until the doctors detected the cancer. He was transferred to the Walter Reed Military Hospital in Bethesda, MD. He is need of a caregiver while under going his cancer treatment. This will take the family members away from their jobs and income to care for him. We want to make him as comfortable as possible during the holidays and so him how much he means to all us. The holiday season is here and we are asking your help in coming together to assist him and his family through these very difficult times. We appreciate all of your help in helping Army Sergeant Shay Hopkin. Thank You to all, and Stay Safe.
Updates
Quick update. It’s been about a week since Shay started his treatments. His pain seems to have subsided and he has actually been able to actually sleep in his bed. He has been in recliner due to the pain. He has been able to get around actually feel like his old self. It is great to see him feeling well. His spirits up. Thank you for all the prayers.
Shay had his first treatment. He seems to be doing well with the medicine and thankfully he has had no reactions to the medicine. This is a small step in a long stressful situation with no real time frame until he is back to him self. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Tomorrow is the day. I am hopeful Shay will begin his treatments and we can look to the future. I will post more updates. Thank you to all of you for your support.
Want to share the update on Shay. We received a call from his doctor and we meet with him Monday morning to go over the treatment plan and possibly start the medicine that day. Thank you to all of you for your support prayers.
