Please Help My Dad Pay Cancer Bills

When my dad married my mom about 15 years ago, she already had three little kids. He adopted all of us and has never treated us as anything but his own children. He has sacrificed so much to take care of his family, which now includes 6 children. There was a time where he worked multiple jobs while going to college full time, just so he could support his family while allowing my mom to raise us at home. He has always put his family first and provided for us as much as he possibly could.

I remember the first time my dad told us he had colon cancer. I was about 13 years old, and when he announced the news I went to my room and cried. I didn't know what to expect, but I knew his father died from the same cancer, and I didn't want to lose my dad who has loved me so unconditionally. He had surgery, the cancer was treated, and all seemed well. We thought it was over, especially since the doctor told us his specific type of cancer doesn't usually come back.

Fast forward to the second time. The cancer came back even bigger. He had to have more surgery, and endured chemo treatments while still working to support is family and volunteering at our church. Seeing him so sick scared us all, and it was so hard on our family. My youngest sister, who was only a toddler, used to ask us all the time if "daddy was gonna die". Not only were we scared for our dad's health, but we were going deeper and deeper into debt because of the expensive medical bills. My mom all but lost her sanity, trying to care for her kids (which she home schools) as well as her sick husband, not to mention desperately trying to budget our money to afford basic necessities. But eventually, my dad recovered, his cancer was gone, and things went back to being fairly normal.

Until the third time. Now my dad has cancer in his lung. They are going to do more surgery to remove a part of his lung, and possibly more chemotherapy. He will have to take more time off work for the surgery, and he does not get paid leave. My parents' medical insurance has changed and they now have to pay almost twice as much for everything as they used to. They are still in huge debt trying to pay off the last round of cancer treatments.

Unfortunately, it's now a year later and he's still fighting his cancer. It's now spread all over his lung and there's no longer any surgical options. He's been going through chemotherapy and radiation again, but things aren't going well and he's been really sick. It doesn't look like things are going to get better. 

My dad doesn't deserve this happening to him again, he is such a good man and I hate to see him have to go through this again. It's hard enough going through cancer treatments without worrying about going into crippling debt over all these medical bills. They still have 3 kids at home, and one in college that they are still supporting. My dad always puts on a brave, face, but I know he is worried too. I want to be able to ease some of their suffering by helping out with medical bills. So please, if you have any money to spare, it will be so appreciated. You will be blessing a man who truly deserves it. He has always looked out for and taken care of other people, and he deserves to have some of that given back to him. Thank you so much for your time and donations.
