Help Charlie Kick Cancer's Ass

Everyone who knows our father, Charlie Perkins, knows that he is one of the most loving, caring people you will ever meet in your life. He is such a selfless person and always puts others before himself. He helps people at the drop of a dime with no expectation of anything in return. He has worked in Ripon at JackRabbit and has lived in Ripon for over 30 years. He spent his life raising all seven of us kids, some of which are not biologically his but raised as his own. He has eight beautiful grandkids that he has to watch grow up because they all love him and look up to him for guidance. 

Our dad has recently fallen very ill very quickly. After going to the doctor, he has received the very grim news that nobody ever wants to hear, that he has advanced prostate cancer that has spread. We are all so heartbroken and in absolute shock. Our father has gotten sicker as the days go on.

The bills for all of the testing are starting to pile up and he has not even got into the treatment part of the process yet. Our dad is not the type to ask for help in any way, shape or form. We as a family are pulling together as much as we can. However, we cannot let my dad go through this watching him stress over how he is going to pay for medical expenses and denying treatment simply because he cannot afford it. We are asking for anything any of you could do that can help whether it be a prayer, a dollar or sharing this post.

We love you Dad!
