For the last two and a half years, Pat's dad Emery has fought a hard battle against Stage IVb prostate cancer, and the time has come for him to rest. Pat's family is together at home with dad, and we'd like to be there, as well. Unfortunately, the cost of airfare and lodging is more than we can take on, and we are grateful for any assistance our community can offer us to get home. Your help will pay for Pat's extended ticket on a current trip and potential future round-trip ticket; round-trip airfare for bink; and a modest AirBnB for both of us in Oakland. Because Emery is on hospice, our lodging is an unpredictable cost, but we hope it is our most significant. For now, Pat is home playing games and spending time with pop. bink hopes to be there soon. We thank you all for your support and love and helping us be with Em during this time.
