Daniel McKean- Help fund end of life care
Donation protected
Hello, I'm Kenzie, one of Daniel McKeans' daughters. On November 13th, my partner and I discovered my dad experiencing slurred speech, communication struggles, and confusion. After a swift ambulance call, he underwent emergency surgery to address the stroke caused by an underlying issue—stage 4 metastatic pancreatic cancer.
Following the surgery, an MRI revealed the cancer's extensive reach, affecting Dan's gut, liver, lungs, kidneys, leg, and two areas in his spine, resulting in fractured vertebrae. With this devastating diagnosis, he is now under hospice care. In a bid to preserve his quality of life, we made the heartfelt decision to bring him home, surrounded by the familiarity of family and his beloved dog, for his final months.
To provide the specialized care he needs, we've enlisted the support of a dedicated home care specialist. Your generous donations will directly contribute to funding his in-home care and any additional support required. Every contribution, and even simply sharing this, makes a meaningful difference. Thank you for joining us in supporting my dad during this challenging and emotional time.
