Father's Refuge is a safe place for fathers of children experiencing childhood cancer or terminal illnesses. This is a place for fathers who are walking through the treatment process with their families or are experiencing grief from the loss of a child. My wife and I lost our Jessica Ann on August 5th 2001 to childhood cancer. Jessica had two types of cancer in a brain tumor. The doctors said if she lasted 12 months we would be lucky. Jessica lasted 14 months. I will be telling our story through this podcast. I want to encourage other fathers to share their stories.
