 Loving Husband, Father of 4, Grandpa to , Our Hero and the Strongest Person I know is in great need. However, he is too proud to ask, which is why I am here asking for any assistance you can provide. I implore you to look deep in your hearts and listen to our story. On Christmas Eve my father was experiencing difficulty swallowing, we brought him into the hospital where they found a large mass on his lower esophagus. Within 2 weeks they had him undergoing Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments, with the hope to shrink the tumor enough to be able to successfully remove it via a major surgical procedure. 1 ½ months later he had completed the chemo and radiation and was given a month for his body to take a much needed rest prior to his surgery. My family sat for hours in the waiting room while my dad was in surgery, not knowing what the outcome would be and terrified what the doctor would say. But when the doctor finally emerged from the operating room he had informed us that he was able to remove the mass in its entirety, and my Dad was cancer free! We felt blessed and relieved , after having faced such emotional tribulation. The whole time my father stayed positive, with a smile on his face, cancer couldn’t beat him. During his recovery, he began feeling dizzy and knew something was just not right, so we returned to the hospital and received even more devastating news than before. His cancer was not gone at all, it had spread to his brain, in the form of 7 inoperable, incurable and aggressive tumors. We are hoping and praying for a miracle, losing him would be life shattering for my family. He is well known in our community and loved by everyone who has had the honor of meeting him. He is our family’s provider, and has always been the hardest working, most dedicated man in order to support his family. He has never taken a break, always giving and never asking for anything in return. His life’s passion has been to beautify this world, which was trusted to us by God. He has left his mark with the innumerable plants he has added to the earth and the countless hours he has spent landscaping. Please find the generosity in yourself to give something back to him for a change. He is fighting for his life, but he is also facing the added stress of financial difficulties now. His sole focus should be on himself and being able to spend his time with his family. Before it is too late he only wants for one thing, to be able to show his love for his wife and celebrate it with his closest family by renewing his vows to her. Anything will help, thank you, my family offers their sincerest gratitude. The Peechatkas ❤
