Help Parr Family Through a Difficult Time
Donation protected
Hi, I am hoping to get help for a very dear friend of mine's family who is in need of assistance to get through a very tough time in their lives. I am fundraising for the Parr Family. Dave was laid off from his Sales job at the start of the pandemic and has been battling medical issues for the past few years. In April of 2021, he was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer which is a very aggressive form of cancer. The cancer was the size of a softball and was greatly restricting his breathing, causing him to pass out. An aggressive treatment of simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation began and continued until August 2021 when he was declared cancer free. Unfortunately, he continues to have many complications from the treatment and continues to be in and out of the hospital. His latest PET scan showed possible disease recurrence, which will require additional testing. Throughout these past 8 months, Dave has been unable to work much and many times, not at all, due to the commitment of the treatments and the ongoing hospital stays. His wife Lorraine's salary does not cover all of their basic expenses and in addition to her full time job, she has been working a second job throughout this difficult time, but the income from both jobs is not enough to cover the expenses. I am asking for your assistance to get them through this extremely difficult time so that Dave, Lorraine, Brendan and Shannon are able to remain in their home and keep current with medical expenses. mortgage, utilities and other basic needs. They already have the burden of stress over Dave's condition, they do not need the added stress of financial worry. Additional ways to help besides this Go Fund Me Account, for people who know them personally, would be gift cards for groceries, gas gift cards or even Amazon gift cards, particularly for this month so they can celebrate a family Christmas.
