Cancer Treatment for Ron Cates

Donation protected

My name is Amanda. My daddy, Ron Cates, is the greatest man I know. He's my hero. He always has an answer for every problem. Daddy is always willing to help anyone out with anything they need. However, my daddy doesn't like to ask for help with anything he may be facing. So I am asking for him.

My daddy was diagnosed with cancer on June 6th, 2018. None of us could believe it. My daddy, the strongest man I know, has CANCER. The doctors say he has multiple tumors in his body, including his liver, shoulder, hip, and spine. We are still waiting for test results, but the doctors suspect he may have Multiple Myeloma . My family and I want the absolute BEST care for my daddy.

After extensive research, we found the MD Anderson Cancer Center  in Houston, TX. My daddy and family live in Alabama. We need to get my daddy to Houston as soon as possible. Anyone who has had a family member with cancer will know waiting is NOT an option. 

We are not sure exactly what treatment my daddy will receive yet, but we know it will be costly. Not to mention, my family will have to temporarily stay in Houston so Daddy can be close to the center for treatment. Again, my daddy has ALWAYS helped others without hesitation. Now is the time for my daddy to need help. He already feels guilty over this disease he cannot control. The least he should worry about is the cost of treatment to get him well again. I know he is worried about the financial burden my family is about to face. 

If you are able, my family and I would greatly appreciate any help you are willing to give! We all love Daddy so very much, and he has a lot more living still left to do!  Thank you for reading, and please say a prayer for my daddy and family! We appreciate all the prayers we can get!
