In January 2021, Chad Focke was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Soon after, he began an aggressive regimen of chemotherapy and radiation treatments throughout February and March. While Chad was away, his wife, Mandy, remained on their Rexford, KS farm to maintain their beef herd and care for their four young girls. In May, Chad underwent surgery to remove the remaining problematic areas and spent an additional two weeks in the hospital. He continued his recovery at home, dealing with chronic pain and significant limitations to his daily routine. With wheat harvest fast approaching, the Fockes knew they would need some additional help. Thanks to a local AgrAbility contact, Chad and Mandy became aware of Farm Rescue’s assistance services and decided to reach out. Within days, volunteers and equipment were en route to their farm to bring in the family’s crop. This quick response allowed Chad to focus on his recovery and prepare for the next season in the field. Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-toes/cradled...
