Life has always been a rollercoaster, good bad and ugly moments - mostly we got through them as a family, bouncing back because it's about sticking together. Thats what the Hill family does. The reason for this Go Fund Me page is because we now face the darkest time we have ever known. 5 years ago my Mum had a stroke, my Dad spotted it and we got her to hospital quick enough for her to have the emergency medication needed and she didn't lose mobility, but she is not quite the 'same mum' as before. Mum and Dad prop each other up and whilst don't openly admit being soulmates, you can just tell that they still are. One is lost without the other. Mum's rehabilitation was only the beginning of a soul destroying journey our family was to take because only 10 weeks later our Dad, the strongest and toughest man we have ever known was diagnosed with lung cancer. He braved the major and horribly invasive surgery where they removed much of that lung. He doggedly pushed on through recovery and we sighed with massive relief when he got the all clear. So we all think - We don't need to start a go fund me page for end of life targets after all. BUT we were wrong. A follow up scan and he is told his other lung has the cancer. Devastation through the family once more and again we have to watch him battle to find the will and energy to push on through every day. We hate the feeling of helplessness it gives us; our hearts are so so heavy. We put our hope in another round of surgery to remove the cancer. The thing is; they didn't take it away because it is already past that point. It is in his remaining lung, his lymph nodes, neck, throat & cheeks. It is now just time and only months at that. I can't begin to describe how broken we are, our desperation, our fears. This Go Fund Me page - we need to do something.... we need as a family to show support in any way we can for this man we love more than anything our Dad. Financially we have been hit hard by Covid, there is also no life cover or policy offering a bale out for his funeral. It is a harsh reality that whilst we desperately cherish and will cling to the short time we have left with him, the idea of our mum being left with a huge bill to give him the right send off is a massive worry for us too. He remains a strong willed and proud man to the last. we respect him so much for this. But we now we need to reach out for help with this. I know that amongst his friends and the wider world there are genuine, kind and generous people that can offer and want to offer help; Strength as a family we are bountiful - but financially we are seriouly struggling. A family day trip would be great
