The artist, who teaches at Parsons, was diagnosed with Stage 3 colorectal cancer last month and given a 60% chance of surviving five years.
Nine days later, real-estate agent Elisa, 36, learned she has incurable breast cancer – and just a 16% chance of surviving five years.
Friends and family have rallied around the Bonds, helping them get to their many doctor appointments and care for their toddler.
They set up a website to collect donations to cover the expense of their illnesses – and nearly $60,000 has now been raised.
About half that came in Friday, when News readers like Matthew Zachary, 36, a brain cancer survivor from Brooklyn, were moved to give whatever they could.
“I just want them to know they’re not alone – they can beat this,” said Zachary, who’s been cancer-free for 15 years.
The heart-wrenching story was also picked up by news outlets across the country and as far away as London.
The Bonds, who were too sick to speak to reporters Friday, are drawing strength from the compassion of perfect strangers.

The team structure posed a bit of an issue — caused some chaos and I think I missed a few rounds but overall it was fun. We had to flip gigantic truck tires — and I have no idea how much those weigh but we didn’t have a partner so it was on our own.
Then I worked on my kips again with my new pal – Sven and then did a few cartwheels. That’s the fun of CrossFit really. Where else do you get to do this kinda stuff – it’s like gym time for adults. It gets you out of the gym rut, and into being a kid again.
This is not exactly what we did today but it gives you an idea of the tire flipping:
Steve’s Original for the WIN!

Last weekend, I tried a Paleo Krunch Bar from my friend Jason – and that was all I needed — it was Delish! Seriously, folks.
A delicious blend of coconut, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds and honey, PaleoKrunch fits into your bag and can answer any snack attack. Perfect for people following Zone® or Paleo®
I went home and ordered a batch of them along with their Paleo Krunch cereal. I really miss cereal now that I am Paleo, but this cereal paired with coconut milk — perfect substitute. It’s like eating granola which is close enough for me.
In addition to being delicious, Steve’s Original gives back to the community in a really meaningful way.
15% of proceeds from PaleoKits, PaleoKrunch, and other Steve’s Original products go to the Steve’s Club National Program to help bring fitness, nutrition, and personal development to youth across the country – one kid at a time.
So while a bit on the pricey side – its good, high quality, paleo friendly food that not only meets nutritional needs, it also helps others. Steve’s Original for the WIN!
