Thinking about Todd, he should be about half way through this treatment plan. Still praying hard for him and his family.

I asked him for an update to share.

"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

Todd got back to me.

He's struggling right now, and has had some setbacks.

He'll get more information next week after some tests are run.

If anyone wants to offer support, send me a PM and I can share details with you on how to help out.

Guys, this is a tough one. I communicated with Todd yesterday and he's still positive, but new issues have risen. He hasn't given up, and neither have I. If available, prayers and donations are what's needed right now.

If you decide to donate on GoFundMe, with good intent, some think transaction fees take 15% to 20%. That's incorrect. GofundMe charges 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction. https://www.gofundme.com/c/pricing


From Brandon this morning:

"Dear Friends and Family,

I’m reaching out to you today with a heavy heart to share the devastating news about my brother, Todd Overton. For the past 3 years, Todd has been bravely battling stage 4 colorectal cancer, which has now spread to his liver and lungs. Despite his unwavering courage and determination, he faces an uphill battle, especially as his insurance company refuses to cover crucial treatments that could save his life.

Todd is a loving husband, father, son, and brother who has always been there for others in their time of need. Now, he needs our support more than ever.

Todd will spend approximately 6 weeks in Florida, undergoing a promising new treatment. However, the cost of this treatment is overwhelming, and we are seeking to raise $150,000 to cover the expenses his insurance won’t pay for.

While financial contributions are crucial, we also ask for your prayers. We believe in the power of prayer and collective faith, and your prayers for Todd's healing and strength mean the world to us during this challenging time.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference in Todd’s fight against cancer. Your generosity will provide him with access to life-saving treatments, giving him hope for a brighter future with his family. Together, we can rally around Todd and show him that he is not alone in this battle.

Please consider donating and sharing Todd’s story with your network. Your kindness, support, and prayers are invaluable to us as we navigate this journey together. Let’s come together to give Todd the fighting chance he deserves.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Brandon Overton
Show your support for this GoFundMe"

Christmas Prayers and Donation sent for Todd Overton.

I know George is looking down urging help for Todd in this very difficult situation.

God Bless the Overton Family during this Christmas week 2024.

This was years ago when Todd set up George's first surface aerator. Later, George told me that Todd was like Superman, and I remind Todd of that as often as I can. That was after they got together and pushed HSB for ponds.

This was late Fall 2018 when Todd and I went fly fishing at Beaver Bend in OK. Cold doesn't describe how uncomfortable it was.

All, Todd is in hospice, and is surrounded by his family.

Please pray for Todd and his family as they share their remaining time together.

I just got the GoFundMe update and with watery eyes said "DAMN-IT!".

Hate This.

I'll never forget Todd hosting the Open House at Overton's back around 2015 or 2016. George was there.

Prayers for Todd, Walt, and the rest of the family.
