Family, friends, and community,

I have created this GoFundMe for my father, Eric Garis Sr., who was recently diagnosed with stage four peripheral T-cell lymphoma, a rare, non-Hodgkin lymphoma that develops from abnormal T-cells, a type of white blood cell that fights infection. Eric is a dedicated husband and father who is now fighting for his life and will be receiving chemotherapy and radiation treatment. Because of this, he will no longer be able to work. As a one-income household, this has been financially devastating for my family. My dad is fighting through pain every day, and my mom is by his side doing her best. Any support will be greatly appreciated and will be going towards medical bills, regular bills, and groceries. Every penny helps, and we are eternally grateful for every thought, prayer, and donation. Thank you.
