Help My Dad With His 2nd Brain Tumor

It’s been 32 years since my dad had his last bout with brain cancer, which he beat with the help of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. 

Unfortunately he was diagnosed with a brain tumor 2 weeks ago. He’s made it through surgery but remains in the ICU a week later due to infections. We’re still waiting for biopsy results from that surgery and I will keep this updated as news comes in. We’re hoping for the best. 

But the surgery itself and the long stay in intensive care isn’t cheap, and we may still have a long way to go. Even with insurance it will cost my family $100k+. I’m humbly asking for you to join me in helping them with just a fraction of that cost so that they can focus on his health instead of overwhelming expenses. 

My dad is a retired police officer in Henrico County, Va. He helped to keep our community safe for over 20 years. Thankfully he has a loving family to keep his spirits up and my mother, who is an absolute saint, went through this with him the first time around as well. She’s the most selfless person I know, but unfortunately also retired, so there’s not a lot of money coming in. 

The last thing I want is for them to have to dip too much into their retirement fund or savings because of this awful hand they’ve been dealt. Please, if you can, help me help them. I can only provide them with emotional support but I wish I could do more. Even thoughts or prayers would be helpful. 

Thank you for even reading this if you’ve gotten this far. It has really put things into perspective for me, family means everything.  <3
