This is a fund raiser for Christine Robinson to help with medical bills.
Christine has been a Holmesburg, Philadelphia resident for over two decades. She and her husband Ed have been married for over twenty two years and have three wonderful children. The Robinsons have been very active in local youth sports for many years. Christine has worked full time at Tire Sales (formerly Philadelphia General Tire) for over twenty years. Christine is best known for her enthusiasm for life, generosity toward others, over all cheerful and kind nature.
In April of this 2013 Christine was diagnosed with small cell lung cancer which has spread to her brain. She her undergone radiation treatment for the tumors in her brain, is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Good news is the most recent CAT scan showed the lung tumors are responding to the treatment and have shrunk 65%, Bad news is Christine must have 25 day of radiation treatment to her right lung as the tumors are still there.
Christine remains unable to work and continues to need round the clock care due to this physically and financially devastating disease. Her husband, Ed, remains at her side 24/7 as her full time caregiver, with only one exception, he continues volunteering as a Lansing Softball League coach. Their three children are doing all they can to help care for Christine and support each other.
With ongoing visits to family doctors, oncologists, neurologists, radiologists, x-rays, MRIs, CAT scans, PET scans, and biopsies, ten radiation treatments, and eighteen weeks of chemotherapy, the bills are adding up quickly as insurance doesn't cover everything. Co-pays alone are $50. for each visit to the doctor $250-$450 for each test, another $50. for every treatment, and $15 for each of her prescriptions. With only limited income from disability insurance the bills continue to pile up
There is something you can do to show your support, make a donation, attend the benefit, let the Robinsons know they are not alone, let Christine know we are all here and we are willing to help!
