Help Erin Fight Cancer
Donation protected
As many of you may know, my father, Erin Longridge, was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer of the larynx in November, 2012. Since then he has been through multiple reconstructive surgeries to remove the cancerous tumours in order to restore him to health. These surgeries have resulted in my father no longer being able to speak or eat. Which has changed his life drastically. He has relapsed 2 times, and just last month my family recieved news that has changed our lives. After months of chronic headaches and neck pain, we found out last month that my dad had relapsed for his third time. We are deeply saddened to say that the doctors have told us that surgery is no longer an option, and we have been told that my father has 2 months-15 months to live. My dad is currently a patient on the palliative care unit at the Grey Nuns Hospital, where they are controlling his pain, and ensuring he is recieving an adequate diet. My dad is recieving chemotherpay once a week to try and shrink his tumours and we are praying for a miracle. We are hoping to have my father set up at home with a hospital bed and daily home care so that he can spend as much time with his family as possible.
My father has been unable to work for the last 3 years, and my mother is only able to work part time due to her own health problems. I have made this go fund me campaign to raise money for my family in order to help with the costs of living so that my dad can live comfortably no matter how much time he has left with us. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. All funds will go towards household bills and upkeep, food, medical supplies for our home, and car upkeep in order to visit him daily at the hospital.
If you are able to share this page that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
