I haven't been sleeping very well lately. We're at Day+85. I'm the caregiver. This isn't steve it's sharon, I have my kitchen table stacked with hospital statements ,online insurance bills...it's one thing taking care of Steve. Now I'm being swallowed by debt. I pay close to $800 a month for medical insurance. And still be denied for the first month of transplant...still a work in progress. I started this by trying to say thank you to tami sargeant. Thank you the lord sent you to us . To make this burden a little easier. God bless

Hi warriors ð??? Every time we receive a donation , my phone dings. It just gives me goosebumps every time. Someone is supporting Steve, can't express how good it feels. This morning we woke up to donations from:Marcia Barchus, Anita Singh, Blaine Ruhter,Jim Mortensen and one of my closest friend Jo Teague. Thank you all for your generosity . Jo Teague herself, has had her own battle with lung cancer (she's in remission) so if you could also pray for her. Our faith keeps us strongð???ð??»ð?¤?

Hi friends and warriors, again this is sharon bernal. Steve has been admitted into th hospital last week. And again this week. The week prior was due to blood clots in both lungs and lower leg. They realeased him a few days later . He's been on different medicine and now taking blood thinners.
Steven Bernal
Feb 1, 2017 at 11:39 am
Sorry, I must have hit the wrong key. So that in itself was scary. Steve's at Day+140. It just goes to show you what these patients are up against. Within in a week of discharge, I got a call from steve . He just said. You need to come home. He
Steven Bernal
Feb 1, 2017 at 11:43 am
Oh my, that key again...he was bleeding internally. He's still at hospital. They stapled his stomach, which had a tear to the esophagus. They need to put him back on blood thinners(they took him off so he wouldn't bleed out) they afraid the clots could cause a stroke. The bleeding would be the lesser and could be addressed in the hospital. Where as a stroke. Would not be as easy to fix. Please find it in your hearts to donate to the one to one fund . Please share Steve's story. For more info . On Facebook under groups (Steve's journey) please join in our prayers. God bless you all

I would like to send a thank you out to Debra L. For your generosity. Sending many hugs and kisses. Usually when we receive a donation, I get an email. I've been praying that your donation was correct. Sharon at the bonemarrow BMCF is out on vacation, so I didn't receive one. I was notified it was correct. Debra, this blessing from you will help us out so much.Steve and I both cried. Times are so difficult financially.. you have no idea of what this means to us. God bless you
