A Sudbury family is reaching out to the community through a GoFundMe campaign to help a local couple who are both suffering with medical issues and need help with travel and medical costs.
The effort is aimed at helping out Jeannine Sloss and Robin Sloss, described as a Sudbury family dealing with "difficult medical challenges."
An email authored by Carrie Lacoste outlined the urgency of the situation.
"A family in our community needs help this holiday season. Jeannine Sloss and Robin Sloss are a Sudbury family dealing with difficult medical challenges. Jeannine has been diagnosed with a brain aneurysm and Robin Sloss has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. Robin has been given until the end of February 2023 to live. We are hoping to raise money for traveling and medical costs and unfortunately the costs that may come when Robin passes," she wrote.
She added that Jeannine is making plans with her doctors for brain surgery in the near future, while Robin is scheduled to begin chemotherapy on the Friday before the Christmas weekend.
The GoFundMe website has more intimate details of the struggle the couple is going through. The organizers wrote they are hoping to raise $6,000 to provide some relief and comfort for the couple, who this year celebrated 41 years of marriage.
"If you can't donate, then please pray for both my auntie Jeannine and my uncle Robin as they go through this tough time. They could use all the prayers right now," said the note attached to the website.
