Helping Hand for One of Our Own

SEPTEMBER 2008

Three weeks ago, Billy Jarvis, Manager of Aftermarket Sales at Albuquerque Freightliner, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  Billy is only 34 years old, with a wife, Angie, and four young boys ranging in age from 14 months to 12 years old.  As many who are familiar with cancer already know, pancreatic cancer is one of the most life threatening types of cancer one can endure.  Although doctors are cautiously optimistic about Billy’s prognosis, Billy is in for the fight of his life. 

Billy and his family recently relocated to Albuquerque from El Paso so he could take the job at Albuquerque Freightliner.  Billy was excited to be working at the dealership and was already making a difference when he got the diagnosis.

Billy is currently at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, TX where he is undergoing aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatment for the next 5 weeks.  Surgery is scheduled for later next month followed by 6-8 weeks of recovery.

We have been asked by many employees, customers and vendors if there is a way to help Billy with his medical expenses as he goes through treatment at M.D. Anderson.  The William Jarvis Donation Fund has been established at Wells Fargo Bank in Albuquerque to accept donations for Billy.  This account will be used to offset medical expenses and manage the proceeds from any fund-raising efforts that a location may choose to participate in to benefit Billy.

If you would like to contribute, you may make your check payable to the William Jarvis Donation Fund and mail it to:  Wells Fargo, P.O. Box 5629, Portland, OR  97228-5629. To make it easy for you to donate, please download and use one of the pre-printed deposit slips with the account number 3266213077 on it.  

In addition, the Lonestar Truck Group has established a Leave Bank program which allows employees to donate accumulated vacation time for use by other employees in need whose paid time off has been exhausted.   The Leave Bank policy has all the details on how employees can donate their unused vacation time to Billy who has already used all of his paid time off for his medical leave. 

It is our privilege to share Billy’s story with all of you and to reach out to you to help and support one of our own in his fight against cancer.
