God bless YOU for wanting to help! You've been given some really good suggestions. Also, if he is on any medications, someone could contact the pharmaceutical companies -- they will sometimes donate their prescription medications to people suffering hardships.

My community has organized a lot of fundraisers in recent years for local families that have fallen on hard times. Events like 5K Races and Golf Tournaments have been very successful, raising a significant amount of money very quickly. My oldest son had a teammate on his high school football team who was stricken with cancer and the football boosters raised $30,000 in one morning with a pancake breakfast. I also know a group who got local restaurants to donate food for a luncheon to benefit a local family that needed help meeting some medical expenses.

The very best to all!
