Pennies for Papa

Donation protected

Our papa has Cholangial Carcinoma, which is a very rare type of cancer that has very little research or specific type of treatment for. He feels pain every second of the day. We decided to do a go fund me to raise money for all the medicine and medical equipment he needs. He has to do chemotherapy every week and take tons of pain medication. He has constant abdominal pain due to the location of his cancer and is not able to eat a normal diet. Some days he can eat whatever he wants others it's Ensure drinks all day. Our Grammy works as hard as she can, but the cost for all his health insurance, speciality food, medication and medical needs get too overwhelming. She sleeps in the day and goes to work at night while trying to care for our Papa. She barely gets any sleep and never puts herself first. Our whole family is trying to stay strong for our Papa and support him any way we can. He has always been the Rock in our "unit" and now it is our turn to take care of him. He has had a major influence in our city and the people he has come in contact with. He is very friendly and can talk for days if you let him, even when he's hurting. He is someone who will go out of his way to help those who need it, so we as a family are asking to please help him and our family. Thank you.
