I have made this Go fund me for my dad Derek Givens. Recently my dad went into the doctors for a visit, only to find out that his Melanoma skin cancer has returned after about twenty years. This time however the cancer is right next to the varicose vein is his leg which makes the surgery to remove it harder and a bit more expensive. Originally we didn't think we would have to make a go fund me and ask for the help of others but today the insurance company had told us we were going to have to pay out of pocket for the deductible which is currently hard for us financially. His surgery is on April 20th, just over a week away. In order to have the surgery we would need the funds by this date or we would have to further post phone the surgery. The surgery however has already been pushed back and waiting again increases the risk of the Melanoma growing to the next stage. My dad is my hero and has always been here to help anyone and everyone. He is a man of god and the most kind and loving human being. If you can donate anything at all it would mean the absolute world to us. Anything at all would help take the stress of my family. Thank you all so much and god bless.
