Help a Family Smile Again: Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected
Hi, this is my dad. He’s very goofy at times and makes me laugh when I'm sad or even when I just need a reason to smile. He's my reason, besides my mom of course.

A few years ago, my dad was diagnosed with stage five skin cancer (Melanoma), which at the time not only scared my family, but he got treatment for and an operation where we thought he’d be cancer-free. Years passed by, and he noticed a few bumps on his inner thigh which began to enlarge every other day he’d go to work. No pain, just growing bigger. He landed in urgent care with my mom since she was feeling sick that day and suggest he’d get those large growing bumps checked by a doctor. Luckly, a really kind doctor checked on him and told him to get a scan done and after a couple more weeks later was operated on by a surgeon. A couple of weeks later, his surgeon called him in for the news. His cancer was back, but this time it was stage 4. Even though it wasn't stage five anymore, I couldn’t help but cry for hours and weeks thinking his melanoma was back. It was devastating news for my family especially for my dad. His face went blank and pale for a second when me and my mom saw him. He was heartbroken thinking he was cancer free but now it was back

All those years we thought he was cancer free was actually just the beginning of another devastating nightmare. He was put on chemo and has been struggling to maintain himself ever since. My family is devastated on the news and so far I'm the only one working trying to pay off bills. My mother is on disability due to an accident that happened a couple years ago as well so I'm trying my best to provide what I can. I’m not asking for much but anything is appreciated to help my parents. I just want my goofy family to smile and be goofy again. Thank you and god bless you all. ^~^
