Helping my dad kick cancer
Donation protected
As many of you know, and many of you probably do not know .. My dad was recently disganosed with cancer. A couple years back he had been diagnosed with prostate cancer, which he went into remission and was deemed cancer free. But recently, the cancer has came back but in a new form... bone cancer. He is currently going through chemo treatments and is on a ridiculous amount of medications. Each one of his chemo treatments is thousands of dollars. My parents were reluctant on me starting this campaign for him because they do not like the thought of asking strangers for money. They have never been the type to ask anyone for help, which is why I am doing it for them. Today I spoke with my parents and they informed me that the chemo treatments have not been as succesful as the doctors predicted, meaning he is going to have to have more, or they are going to need to find another source of action, which means more money. My mom is the only one with a consistent income right now, and the medical bills are too much for just her to handle. I know my parents do not like to ask for help, but I will do it for them because I know it is what they need. I understand not everyone can donate, but please share with others in hopes that some can help out. I don't have an actual goal for this, I just put the money amount because I had to.. the truth is the bills are so expensive it would take a ridiculous amount to cover it all. I just want to be able to take a slight amount of financial stress off of their shoulders. Please keep my family in your prayers through this rough time, thank you so much.
