David's Medical Fund

Donation protected
My father was diagonsed with Lymphoma in December of 2014. Since then, he has gone through 8 different types of chemo treatments with no success. It's been a true rollercoaster for him and my family. He has a very aggressive form of Lymphoma that is only tamed by chemo treatments. Without the chemo treatments his cancer spreads throughout his body. Unfortunately, his doctors have exhausted all of the treatments they can give him here in Pittsburgh, and so they are now recommending him to travel out of state for a second opinion. 
My parents are going to be traveling to Lincoln, Nebraska to a Lymphoma specialist in hopes to find a working treatment. The duration of the treatment and trip is unknown at this time until he meets with the doctors. We have high hopes for this trip. As of now, this is our only option. 
Since my father's condition progressed, he was terminated from his job in October of 2015. There has been an extended period of time in order for him to get disability, which will not kick in until next month. With a single income family, we have exhausted all of our funds on daily expenses and medical bills. Various family members and friends have already contributed to help but with continuing medical epenses and my mom traveling to Nebraska to support him, this will put a further strain on our finances. 
We are now reaching out to our friends and family, their friends and family, and anyone else who is willing to donate. Any amount helps. It would mean the world to us and our family. We appreciate you taking the time to view our page. Please share and keep my dad, David Colwell, in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you.
