Memorial, funeral and medical expenses

Donation protected


Update: my father has passed. We are preparing funeral services and will update all about date and time. Because of covid-19 we will do celebration of life for my father either in the Summer or the Fall. Thank you all for the continuing thoughts and prayers. 
 
This isn't the way I imagined things to be. My Father, Servet Alcin, has been struggling with his health since 2005. He beat Pancreatic Cancer in 2005 as well as Liver Cancer two separate times, in 2013 and 2016. If anything my dad is bionic and the strongest person I have ever known.

In the recent year, 2019, my Dad contracted a very lethal blood infection. He has been in and out of the hospital since the time he was diagnosed. This infection has been taking a toll on him completely overwhelming his health, mental, and physical abilities.

My Dad is the most loving, caring, whole hearted person anyone could ever meet. He was in the Turkish Army, moved to America to live a better life, and he celebrated serving 55 years with Mercedes Benz Inc. He is extremely gifted and talented when it comes to Mercedes Benz knowledge. He and my Mother have been married for 46 years, with 2 daughters and 3 grandchildren.

He has always been extremely happy person and always supported his family. Even to this day he would worry about us. He has been a rock and loving partner to my Mother, the best Dad my sister and I could have ever asked for, and the best Grandfather to his grandchildren. He always lights up anytime you talk to him about his grandchildren.

The last couple months have been extremely hard while watching his health decline because of the extensive medical procedures he has had to endure which has really worn on him. He and my Mom have been struggling with his medical bills, all while concerned about his current health.

The last 4 months he was home and was doing good. Sadly in the last few days things have turned for the worse. My Dad is immunocompromised and for some reason his blood sugar dropped along with his blood pressure. He is now hospitalized again with complications from the infection. He is currently in ICU with the best Doctors and Infectious Disease Personnel assisting him. However, as of last night, my father was put on a ventilator to assist with breathing due to the fact he had respiratory coded, and had a heart attack. They also removed 6 liters of liquid from his midsection and placed him into an induced coma to help him fight off this disease.

We are praying and hoping for the best under his current condition of health while we know his future state is unknown.

I know its a trying time with the world wide pandemic we are in, that everyone is very constrained and taking care of their families. This is my Moms first time away from my Dad during this whole thing. She is not allowed to be by my Dad's side in the hospital. So we see and understand as the pandemic hits home to a lot of people, not only ours. Our prayers are with everyone affected by this.

At this time I am asking for prayers and any assistance from friends and family to help with the financial burden we will incur due to this. If you can help in any way it would be appreciated. No contribution is too small.

Thank you and God bless.
