Hi my name is Eva "Marie" Petersen-Acosta and I am fundraising for my Dad (George Batiste) throat cancer treatment.
My dad was recently diagnosed with throat cancer. My dad George is a nurse and retired after 43 years. He worked 33 of those years at St. Joseph hospital in Eureka, California.
My dad has overcome many obstacles in his life time. As a child he lost partial use of his right hand due to surgery for a birth defect.
Through hard work and perseverance he became an award winning registered nurse, admired by many.
He is a very proud and humble and reluctantly agreed to let me start a fundraiser to help with his cancer treatment.
My dad's cancer requires special proton radiation treatment available only in San Diego, California. We would greatly appreciate any help so that he can get this therapy. God bless everyone and please keep him in your prayers.
