This is Rich Bell.

He doesn't look like this right now because of chemotherapy and radiation but this photo is how most of us see him in our minds eye. Rich had cancer and "rich" he is not. Treatment has already cost a small fortune but that was paid by Medicaid and his future looked very bright.

Rich has a wonderful four year old daughter and a loving wife Debbie. And the prayers of co-workers his family and his local church. With Rich in the hospital, his wife and daughter have crushing medical bills. The Medicaid program has been exhausted, and there is no insurance.

It looked like Rich had beaten the odds. He was back at work, his hair was growing back. His neck bothered him one afternoon and he went back in for a check-up. The cancer is back. They hospitalized him the next day and frankly it doesn't look very good.

You can't help all the Rich Bells in the world... but....

You can help this one. Contributions through his church in his name may be one of the nicest father's day gifts you'll ever give. And yes, they will help his wife and daughter.
