Dom... What happened to Tom G.? I do not understand what you are saying happened... What is colonelcy? Can you please clarify? Thanks...

 

[mad4wrecks]

I have colon cancer and a huge battle ahead of me, including mounting medical bills. Some friends in the treasure community including Dom & Yvonne, Pat Clyne and Randy Barnhouse are helping me build a "war chest". They will be posting an address soon for anyone that would like to contribute. Dom is doing a coin auction. Other events to follow. Prayers welcomed! Tom

O.K. I can't spell for crap... colonoscopy His did not come back the way we wanted it to... Now its time for his real friends and those who have benefited from his passions and posts..... yeah you too, Alexander..... and rise to the occasion to provide him with some help. I had already put two coins on ebay when I found out about his situation. If you guys pushed this auction, all the money would go to Tom and you still will end up with some nice coins. I am not trying to gain anything for my self but I am trying to put some of this treasure to good work. There is only 18 hours left so think about bidding for Tom.

He gets some money for treatment he needs and the winner gets a coin or two... no losers

I'm barely living from pay check to pay check, But I do believe in Prayer. So I will do the best that ''I'' can do.
In Prayer, Dennis.

 

[PhipsFolly]

Tom... Man I am so sorry to hear this! Prayers will go up immediately. I am not making much in the way of income right now but I will see what I can pull together to help out. My wife and I both have some medical issues and our bills have really piled up as well... I understand the urgency and will do what I can. God Bless!!

 

[itmaiden]

So sorry to hear of your diagnosis. I don't even have income or insurance to help with my own medical needs right now, but I will give prayer and will be glad to tweet about any of the auctions on Twitter. I have a lot of followers.

I also want to suggest some other options in addition to donations and ebay. You could have a silent auction set up maybe here on T-net.

One of my best kept secrets are "Twitter Parties". Twitter Parties are usually sponsored by companies or organizations or individual bloggers who put up prizes for attending and participating in the party. The parties are used not only to get the word out on products and services, but also to tell people about charitable causes. The parties often "Trend" on twitter, which then reach a larger audience besides the twitter followers of all that attend. The male to female ratio at any party depends on the subject matter and prizes. Males tend to gravitate towards travel and tech prizes, and women to just about everything else. You can learn a little more by going to Host a Twitter Party with TweeParties: a Twitter Party Hosting and Social Media Marketing Agency

Also some states have special funds for cancer patients through various organizations. It is worth making some phone calls to cancer organizations to ask about funds for patients. It will take some phone calls, as you will get people on the other end who either "don't know" or maybe their organization doesn't. Also "Foundation" money could be an option. It is the time of year when companies and individuals are seeking tax write-offs, so donations will be flowing into organizations from now through January.

It is tremendous for you to do this.

What state does he live in ? If Florida, what county ? Medicaid has a program they don't advertise. It is for serious medical issues. You really have to have a social worker go to bat for you...maybe a hospital social worker. Polk County has a free medical program that is very good. They don't pay for chemo, but they do pay for surgery. Depends on their waiting list. Also the "Lakeland Ledger" has the "Newspaper with a Heart" program to help with special cases, and if I remember right the Orlando paper does too. Will take some phone calls. Always best to have someone else do the talking.

Tom. Not sure if we met in past before but may have at some symposium or event. My mother has had that and recovered from it. She is no longer with us, because of other non-related causes. Anyhow, prayer has been sent for your quick recovery.

Seminole county has a program they don't advertise for any kind of medical emergency or medical accident.If you go to a orange county hospital seminole county pays for it all.

[mad4wrecks]

I appreciate all the prayers and some checks have started arriving in the mail. Monica is going to set up a Bank of America account this weekend just for these monies.

I went to my PCP today for what is called "medical clearance," clearance to undergo the anesthesia and colon cancer surgery, They did some blood work and did an EKG. EKG says I have an enlarged left ventricle so now I have to have an echocardiogram next week and then a PET scan.
