Hi, my name is Kristin and I'm the oldest of 4 children. My parents, Bruce & Debbie Bonham have both been experiencing serious health issues in the last couple of months. My dad was diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma and had one kidney removed. He's now on dialysis 3x a week, and will soon begin other treatments. We are hopeful that he can receive a kidney transplant in the future. My mom recently went into the doctors office because she was having abdominal pain. Unfortunately, we have been told that she has pancreatic cancer that has already spread to the liver. She's been told that she has no surgical options, and that chemo is available only to try to extend her life. My parents have 4 children and 8 grandchildren who love them dearly, and need them to be here, and healthy. They have served their communities their entire lives as well. My mom was a public school teacher for Claremore Public Schools for 40 years, and just retired last year. My father was a police officer for 21 years. They are not the type of people who will ask for help, even when they need it. I'm asking for help for them to explore any, and all treatment options, travel expenses to get second or third opinions, and to allow them peace of mind for financial coverage for all associated costs as they go through this journey. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this link, and praying for them both. Thank you for taking the time to read their story.
