Help Melrose Man Battling Kidney Cancer

Each week, we'll be highlighting a GoFundMe campaign in the Melrose area.

GoFundMe page has been created by a Melrose woman looking to help a local man and his family while he battles kidney cancer.

"...Will was recently diagnosed with kidney cancer. He will be starting treatment to fight this disease that sadly has touched each of us at various points of our life," reads Melrosian Michelle Thomas' message on the GoFundMe page. "...This fundraising site has been established for those that would like to contribute monetary donations to support the Faiellas.

"Along with medical expenses, funds received will go directly to the Faiellas for incidental costs such as food, house cleaning, and any additional items that would be helpful to them so they can focus their attention on where it needs to be - getting Will healthy. All donations will directly benefit Will, Katie and the kids."

As of 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, $21,805 of the $30,000 fundraising goal had been met, according to the account.
