Hello,
I am writing this on behalf of my brother in law Bob.
In 2016 Bob was diagnosed with Hepatitis C from which he was cured. Unfortunatley
the cure makes you susceptible to Heptacellular Carcinoma (liver cancer). Bob was
diagnosed with this in 2018. Bob went through 4 Ablation surgeries from 2018 until
2023 when it was decided he could do no more. Late in 2023 the oncologist decided that
chemo/immuno therapy would now be best. This is what he is going through now and will
be for the foreseeable future.
Prior to this happening, in 2007 Bob was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, which he now
has under control with medication, diet and excersize. In 2013 Bob had a major heart
attack which he had to undergo surgery.
The constant illnesses and hospitalizations have been hard on him physically, mentally,
and financially. Although he was able to work throughout covid except for a 3 week period
that he was recovering from surgery. Due to medical reasons Bob was forced to retire
earlier than he would have liked to. The constant travelling for medical appointments and
procedures has eaten all of their savings.
The closest place that he can go for his Labs, MRI's, CT scans, chemo and oncology
appointments are over an hour away.
On Febuary 18th their 2016 Equinox with 315,000km broke down and the cost of the repair
is more than the car is worth. They are in dire need of a reliable vehicle to get them
to and from appointments. This is why I am reaching out for help for them.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and please help if you are able.
