Dear friends and supporters,

My father, Mike Whiteley is a loving supporting father, he’s one of the strongest people i know. When i tell you he works his ass off i literally mean it. He’s non stopped worked his entire life just so he could support his children. But also struggling with personal aspects he’s came along way of overcoming them. He’s at the age of 38 and is up against the biggest struggle of his life trying to beat stage 2 cancer. As of many chemotherapy treatments he’s starting to see the brighter side.

My dad was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma on February 24th, 2024, and he only just started treatment on April 2nd, 2024 at the Abbotsford Cancer Treatment Centre. As noticed it took months before he could start treatment, and he struggled not just with his mental and physical health but he struggled financially. As when he started his chemotherapy it was hard for him to work, and he couldn’t just not stop working due to the fact he’s a sub contractor. As the government doesn’t really help support construction workers who sub contract they have very little help financially. My dad’s only option at this point is to continue working whilst getting chemotherapy at the same time. But he stills struggles only making half of weeks pay.

For transparency, why I started this GoFundMe for my dad because he needs to pay to have a roof under his head. He also needs transportation so he can still continue to get to work every day. Furthermore the cost of food has sky rocketed, and the biggest issue is covering the medication needed for his treatments which cost a lot. To those who are reading, a donation to help support my dad to being able to have a better life be less unbearable while he continues to beat cancer would be appreciated.

We thank everyone who has taken the time to read this, share, or donated to help Mike beat cancer.

please feel free to reach out for any additional questions.

Fuck cancer,
