Stand with Dave -"Tree" Parker in His Health Battle

Help Dave Parker: A Loving Father and Lodge Brother Fighting for His Life

At just 45 years old, Dave Parker is facing a battle no one should have to fight alone. A devoted father to his beautiful 16-year-old daughter and a cherished brother of McBride Lodge 390, Dave is courageously struggling against congestive heart failure and hypertension. These relentless conditions have not only taken a toll on his health but also on his ability to provide for his family.

Recently, Dave made the difficult decision to relocate to Mississippi, moving away from the familiar to be closer to his daughter. Now living alone, he faces the daily challenges of managing his health without the comfort of having loved ones nearby. Due to the severity of his condition, he takes over 20 different medications every day, and the side effects make traveling dangerous and nearly impossible.

For those who know Dave, he is more than his illness. He’s a loving father, a steadfast friend, and a pillar of strength in our community. His daughter is his world, and he has always done everything in his power to ensure she has the brightest future. But now, as his health deteriorates, he finds himself unable to work full-time. The daily regimen of medications that keep him alive also keep him from the stability he once knew.

Despite his challenges, Dave continues to face each day with hope and determination. But the reality is, he needs our help. The goal of this fundraiser is to provide Dave with the financial stability he desperately needs until he can qualify for disability assistance. Your support will not only help cover medical expenses and daily needs but also bring peace of mind to a father who wants nothing more than to be there for his daughter and his lodge brothers.

Dave has always been the one to take care of himself and others, which is why he was hesitant to start this GoFundMe campaign.

But now, he is reaching out, not just for himself, but for the future he dreams of sharing with his daughter.

By donating, you’re not just helping with medical bills—you’re giving Dave a chance to focus on what matters most: his health, his family, and his future. Let’s come together as a community to lift Dave up in his time of need.

Please, give what you can and share this campaign with others. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a difference. Thank you for standing with Dave in this fight.
