Before Cancer Takes Her Daddy

Donation protected
I am raising money for an 11 year old girl and her family. Her father, Rick, started having pain in his back shortly after catching a cold. His cough went away but his back pain did not. His pain grew worse, so he went into the emergency room to be seen. The hospital sent him home without running any tests. Because he was so thin from being sick, they labeled him as a drug seeker. After another week of pain that grew worse, he was taken by ambulance to Sacred Heart. There, he was diagnosed with Small Cell Lung Cancer. They told his family that it had spread to his spine as well. He stayed at the hospital long enough to get his pain under control. He is currently at home with his family. Rick was given just weeks, maybe Months to live. Rick is a good person, a great man, and an amazing father to his 4 children. His 3 adult children came home to be with him. His youngest daughter is only 11 years old. She has always stayed close to her parents, and has spent all of her time with her dad. Rick worked very hard everyday to support his family. He was their sole provider. Without him to provide for them, the family is struggling. As they spend what little time they have left with him, the medical bills and other living expenses are growing. They are overwhelmed with grief. Very soon they will have to say goodbye to their husband and father. The only thing Rick thinks about is his family. He worries about leaving his family with his high medical bills, and no money to live on. Please help this family worry a little less about finances, so they can spend more time focusing on each other these last precious days they have left with Rick.
