HELP US GIVE POP'S A PROPER FUNERAL

Donation protected
Hello My name is Jodi, Daughter of Allen and Diane. I'm starting this GoFundMe on behalf of my Pops Allen, He's currently battling Brain cancer after just beating Stage 3 Lung Cancer just a few short months ago. So shortly after beating lung cancer he started to be a little off for a few days in a row, then we went to Walmart and made it 10 steps from car and i asked "are you ok dad? " up till then he always said ya I'm fine. Well not this time, nope this time he said " NO Jodi I am not ok please help Daddy I can't get my leg side to work!" Instantly we grabed him n carried him back to car which wasn't easy with just my mom & myself, but we got it done! when we got them to the hospital they realized that he had a mass growing in his brain and it needed to be removed immediately he was taken in for emergency brain surgery brain surgery consisted of taking his skull cap off and usually they have to dig the mass out this time it popped out because there was just so much pressure they removed it successfully four days later my dad was released from the hospital and came home doing well talking eating and walking less than 7 days later he started acting real funny again and then started losing use of his left side a little bit rushed him back to the hospital because he fell 7 days after having brain surgery and hit his head he was taken to the hospital fire ambulance and they said the tumor had came back very mad and very fast and he had fallen twice at the hospital while under their care and hit his head both times cuz they left him alone when they weren't supposed to then he was wanted to come home so we brought him back home they wanted him to go to a rehab but we wouldn't be able to see him due to coping they weren't allowing any visitors at all in the hospital was only allowing my mom so my dad wanted to come home so we brought him home this time when he came home he had lost use of his whole left side while he was at the hospital and lost sight in his left eye so now he was duck he couldn't go to the bathroom without us we had to take on 24-hour care with my dad. we took on 24-hour care myself my mom my brother and Heather and Jesse helped out as well and we've taken care of them ever since then and the last two days he's been a little off again and today he was taken by ambulance unresponsive to us still breathing okay but just not waking up and when he got to the hospital they did some scans had to find out that it has come back and it is pressing against his brain stem and caused his brain to swell and they want to do brain surgery on him but my dad's wishes were to have no more surgeries and if he had to have the surgery they would have to take his skull off until the swelling went down and then a few weeks later they would put his skull back on and my dad doesn't want to have any more surgeries so we are bringing him home. hospice will come and make him comfortable. we are praying for a miracle but scared that it likely won't be much longer if nothing is done. so until we get our mirqacle I can't say that this is the end but Incase it is I need to say this ugg until he passes we are asking for help as cancer can be very expensive and anything you guys can do to help would be amazing we are strong and it's going to get tough but we'll be there for my pops all the way to the end so anything anybody can do to help us take care of his last days would be amazing thank you all for your help and your prayers God bless! these funds will be used to help buy supplies to care for pops, to help my mom pay bills as she's not working and to help with all the end proccess. thanks so much for all the love and support. hug your loved ones a little closer for us! thank you & god bless also all funds will be handled by myself
