Dear Hearts: A hard, sharp turn today (2/17/16)with the discovery of another tumor– apparently the cause of John’s terrible nausea this week. Tomorrow, we start chemo to try to shrink the tumor and push back the growth of his cancer. Your continuing love and support have cushioned us at every turn, dear friends, as the floor keeps shifting under our feet. Please keep John in your hearts and minds, streaming your positivity and strong healing energy to him. Love, Mina and JS

PMA Posts

As we move forward organizing and coordinating additional fundraising for John and Mina,  it’s good to keep it positive.  I encourage everyone to send in pics and stories about John so that we can keep some life affirming energy flowing.  I think we can all agree that being in a hospital, even under the best of circumstances, is a soul sucking experience.

Please send them to Phil@johnstabb.com or headonmb@gmail.com and they’ll be posted up here so John and Mina can see how much we’re all thinking about them.

Thanks,

Phil

Donations

Folks, while we’re working on some other fundraising efforts, Kevin Young has set up a donation site to help John and Mina get through this immediate crisis.  Please consider donating as much as you are able to:

The money will really help out in the short term while we look at other ways to help John and Mina out in the long term.

Yours in PMA,

Phil

 

John “Stabb” Schroeder Cancer Fund

John “Stabb” Schroeder who is most famously known for his time fronting the 80s Washington DC punk band Government Issue was recently diagnosed with stomach cancer.  On February 7th, Stabb’s soul mate, Mina, posted the news:

Dear Hearts: On behalf of John and per his instructions, I am devastated to share that he has been diagnosed with malignant stomach cancer in addition to having two intestinal tumors removed through his recent surgery. We are crushed by this development and still processing what this means for John in the next weeks. Please keep him close in your hearts. Here, we will keep fighting fiercely like good punks do. Love from both of us to all of you.

Much Love,
Mina & John S

In order to assist John and Mina during this journey, benefit shows are in the works and a GoFundM account has been set up to assist in mounting medical costs and life expenses while John heals and goes through his cancer treatment.  Please see below and help however you can by donating at the link below:
