A vendor/craft show event is being held on June 2nd at the New Eagle social hall to help raise funds for Jodi and David Yerkey in their time of need.
Jodi Pergola Yerkey’s husband, David Yerkey, was diagnosed in 2013 of Multiple Myeloma stage 3a. David has numerous tumors and several fractures due to this cancer. He has gone through chemo and radiation over the last 5.5 years. Every treatment has failed thus far due to the aggression of this Cancer. He has had two stem cell transplants which have also failed.
The Yerkey’s traveled to Maryland for Car T cell therapy. After 19 days of treatments, they found out it actually made his cancer more aggressive. David has also developed another cancer, a Leukemic Phase that mimics other cancers. They are now on Hospice with him and taking it day by day.
Please try and attend this event to help out this local couple and show your support. The New Eagle social hall is located at 156 Chess Street in New Eagle. For more information text 412-418-0657.
