Please donate to help my dad fight cancer

We adjusted to goal to fit my dads treatment plans. Thank you so much to everyone who’s already donated

Hi, my name is Cortney Clark and I’m fundraising for my dad Jeffrey Nutter.

My dad is far too humble to ask for help, so I’m doing it for him.

On November 6th my dad went to the hospital for a full hip replacement. About 15 minutes after he was supposed to be undergoing surgery, my dads surgeon called me and explained they were cancelling his hip surgery due to finding a large mass in his throat. The worst news I could’ve received as a daughter. Apparently the mass was so big they couldn’t even get the breathing tube down. They immediately emitted him to the hospital in another unit to get checked out. Thank God for that medical staff and His divine intervention, otherwise my dad wouldn’t have caught that cancer. I’m very touched and humbled by Gods protection around my dad during this time.

My dad had a cat scan with contrast and they did a biopsy which came back to be stage 2 throat cancer.

My dad has a fixed income, he’s retired and relies solely on social security. He’s already spent the night in the hospital, had several appointments in coeur D’alene, post falls and even Spokane with no car. He’s borrowing mine until he’s able to fix his. The stress alone is so damaging to him. He does have health insurance but he has to pay co pays and the medical bills, as well as his other bills, keep piling up.

He had to go to the dentist to get a few teeth pulled for radiation, because any loose or cracked teeth would short circuit his gums during radiation. That was another expense He wasn’t prepared for. His deductible for his cancer treatments is $6,000 and his dentist bill to start radiation process will also be around $5,000 starts radiation in a couple weeks, and possibly chemotherapy after that which is going to exhaust him emotionally and financially.

After all of this is done, God willing, he’ll still need a full hip replacement because he’s in immense pain. His hip surgeon told him his X-rays were the worst bone on bone he’s ever seen. This poor man can’t catch a break.

My dad has always given his last dollar to help anyone who needs it. I’ve always loved that about him. He knows what it’s like to struggle and never wants anyone else to go through it. He gives the shirt of his back if he has to, and quite literally has driven across the country several times just to be there for his family and friends when they need help, without question, in the drop of a hat. He deserves to have people be there for him now.

He’s under so much stress, so much fear, and in so much pain and discomfort. If you find it in your heart to donate, it would help him more than you know.

Thank you!
