HELP ME HELP MY DAD, THROUGH LEUKEMIA / CANCER
Donation protected
This is probably the hardest thing for me to write. I've debated for a long time even considering asking for help, because in all honesty I'm just never that lucky. I've kept my mouth shut for too long, but I've realized I don't have "too long" anymore. And the more I see friends, or acquaintances post go fund mes' for things so much less serious, like...
"need money for a plane flight to go take a convention class" or "need to raise $4000 to help my daughter get school supplies" & successfully meet their goals - I always think... wow. I'm in a situation where we could REALLY use the help. I wonder if anyone would care enough.
But here I am... Putting all of my pride, ego, independence, and self aside for a bigger cause...
A lot of people wonder why I came back to the United states while being overseas living a dream, & why I never announced my return. Well...
I was just recently surprised with the news that my dad is suffering through later stages of Leukemia. With this being said, he can no longer work and hasn't worked in a long time now because of it. He has went from a chubby older hard-working man to extremely skinny man, that I don't even recognize anymore.. In just a matter of months...
I hate to see my younger brother having to miss out on being young, and having to spend all of his time having to help work jobs all day just to try and help pay off the house. Not to mention insurance isn't covering all of his medical expenses so he has to hold off on some treatments just because there is no money for it. My mom is old, and sick herself. She doesn't work, nor could she. She spends her time trying to watch over my dad while my brother does what he can with the bills. I'm over here with a dancer's salary, and we all know how that life-style is.... You never know when you're next job is. And half of the time its only enough to just pay off some of our own bills. I'm always pulling out of my savings but then thats running low. I just want to help, and if that means reaching out to people I would consider friends for that... Then I'm going to do it because this is my Dad's life & everything he's worked for on the line. His birthday is coming up on July 3rd and it would just mean a lot for me to be able to surprise him with a large sum of his bills paid off.
I'm tired of seeing my mom sad, in tears, and worried about whats going to happen if he's not around. I'm tired of my brother stressing so much because his job is only minimum wage, and he's too young to get something better at the moment. I'm sad to see my brother having to take a step away from college because he's too stressed to balance school, work, and my dad. I'm tired of being to scared to pick up the phone when it rings from my family, because I don't know what I'm going to hear.
I'm asking for help guys. For real. Even if its just $1 from each person. Anything helps.
Real, Righteous, .. Love
