FIPS CARES: This Brooklyn Family Needs Our Help

Oh man.

From the Huffington Post:

"In a nine-day span, both Nathan Bond, 38, and his wife, 36-year-old Elisa, learned that they have advanced cancer. Nathan found out on Valentine's Day.

Nathan has Stage 3 colorectal cancer. He has been given given a 60% chance of surviving five years or more. Elisa has Stage 4 breast cancer and has just a 16% chance of surviving five years."

The two have an 18-month-old daughter and are now facing the daunting task of fighting their respective diseases, caring for their daughter, and paying for it all.

This all just makes me wanna cry.

Their friends have put together a website that includes way more info on this brave couple and here's a Facebook page. But  most importantly, if you can make a donation, please do so here. Even though the two have health insurance, there are significant financial burdens that come with fighting this fight, so their friends/family have committed to helping them raise at least $100k.

 

FIPS just made a donation, so would be rad if you could too!

Also, we still need to find a home for Chino...anybody?
