Dads dying wish

Donation protected
Hi my name is Liv, I am 16 and I am going through hell. I want to raise money for my dad to fulfill his last wishes. Friday the 1st of September my dad went to the hospital for what he thought was a blockage in his bowels caused by his blood pressure medication. The doctor ordered a ct scan with dye and two hrs later returned to his room with terrible news. Cancer stupid Cancer and it’s very aggressive. He has 5 lesions on his lungs, his liver has 20+ tumors ranging from 1-5-7cm his spinal cord has several tumors one 7cm which was removed at 2am 9-9–23 due to it compressing his spinal cord and causing paralysis to his lower extremities. This is devastating to my family and I. We had so many plans that we can no longer do. He’s only 44 and has his whole life ahead of him. His final wishes are to go to a cabin and sit in a hot tub and take in the scenery in Tennessee and to have his prized possession his Toyota Sequoia fixed for me to carry out his adventures. He has been suffering from the effects of ankylosing spondylitis for 13 years prior to his cancer diagnosis it has also caused him severe pain yet he’s pushed on. He still pulled himself together everyday to help others wether it was friends and family by fixing their vehicles, giving people rides, installing stereo equipment, talking to homeless people that just needed a sympathetic ear and a meal. I’ve watched him struggle for years to try and live life to the fullest. He’s my everything, I would like one las
t trip with him to drive him to the mountains in his truck to take in the beautiful views so he can finally be pain free.
