Flynn Post in Someone Always Has it Worse

I’ve been meaning to write about Flynn’s story for a few weeks now…

So in a nutshell:

Hit in the eye with a paintball gun as a little boy.
The injury was extensive and he ended up getting cancer in his eye (eye removed in June 2014).
Was told the cancer was gone.
July 2014 he and his wife found out she was pregnant with their first baby (they just got married 2 years ago).
*December 2014 was told he has stage 4 liver cancer (it actually did spread) and that he has about 6 months - 2years to live.

I can’t even begin to fathom the gut wrenching feeling that they must have experienced…To be told you may not live to see your child be born would be horrific.

I feel bad for April (his wife) because I certainly can not even begin to understand how terrifying this would be for her as well…

Chemo is not an option for the type of cancer he has.

However, there are treatments (no cures) available at $19,000 PER TREATMENT…Insanity.

So our little community of 12,000 people have rallied around them to help Flynn fight for his life.

In less than a month the GoFundMe page has raised $53,000.00 There was a pasta dinner held and the proceeds of that went to the family as well…A local bakery has designed the Flynn Cupcake and the proceeds of those cupcakes all go to Flynn as well.

Their baby girl (Leah) is due in April. I pray to the Universe that at the very least he gets to witness her being born and that he gets to hold his darling baby.

I pray that he can beat the odds and overcome all of this so he can be here with his wife and they watch Leah grow together.
