Support Al's fight against cancer

A few months ago our Dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Since that time he has had to undergo extensive surgery to have his bladder & prostate removed. While adjusting to his new way of life and the challenges that brought him, he ended up back in the hospital because of a very high fever; At which time after many tests and scans, there was a 'spot' discovered on his liver. A biopsy later told us that our fears were true & the bladder cancer had traveled to his liver. His fight to beat this cancer has started . He has undergone 2 rounds of chemo therapy & at the same time had to deal with recovery from oral surgery and eye surgery. Its hard to imagine that not even a year ago, He & our mom were in a head on car crash after leaving church, when a young man ran a stop sign. For the next couple of months our mom would have to be admitted into a rehabilitation facility to recover from the many injuries she sustained from the accident. Since mom would not be home for the holidays, Dad made arrangements for all of us to spend Christmas with her at rehab. How blessed we all feel that they made it through that accident and are still with us. Now, Dad fights this battle against this horrible disease , Cancer. There are so many words that could be used to describe him; Loving, thoughtful, kind, proud, compassionate, hard working, generous, brave, fun, smart & patient to just name a few. You will never hear him complain, His unwavering faith is leading this fight and guiding him on his journey down this very bumpy road. He is known for his faith , being an amazing family man to our mom, his 5 kids, foster dad to more than 30, being an incredible father-in-law, an 'out of this world' papa to his 14 grandchildren, going out of his way & helping those less fortunate & being a huge advocate for the Detroit community. We believe that Dad is going to beat this ! We are reaching out in hopes that all of the kindness he has shown to others ,will come back to him & we are able to help offset some of the many medical expenses & costs that are arising. Thank you for taking the time to read this about this amazing and wonderful man we are blessed to call Dad.
