Devoted Father & Loving Husband with Deadly Cancer

Donation protected
Our beloved relative is a hardworking, devoted, loving FATHER and HUSBAND of age 55 who is battling Stage 4 Metastatic Renal Carcinoma. The cancer has spread from his kidney to his brain, lungs, bone, & muscles causing him much discomfort. He is the father of very bright twin boys who aspire to go to college and help their mother take care of the household expenses one day.  Unfortunately, his wife will somehow have to manage this alone now.  Sadly, she has been unable to work because she is spending her days and nights at the hospital taking care of him  while running back home periodically for the children. The boys are learning at the very young age of 11 that cancer is deadly.  Watching their father's health & spirits diminish is unbearable and incomprehensible. They have learned to be strong and independent over the past 6 months. With all of this tragedy surrounding them, they still bring home all A's and prove for a promising future.

As a dedicated full time employee of the USPS (United States Postal Service), he has worked hard for almost 21 years. He immigrated to the United States with nothing in his pocket. However, his resilience and determination earned him a position with the USPS and he stayed loyal to them for all of these years.  He had been promoted several times and he always strive to achieve in order to help take care of his family and his elderly parents.   He has been unable to work since his diagnosis in August 2018.  As you can imagine, the medical bills are accumulating to enormous amounts and their lifetime savings is depleting to almost nothing.  He has undergone radiation, immunotherapy, and now chemotherapy along with several surgeries.  The prognosis is very poor and we are trying to raise money to help this family survive the financial outcome of this horrible disease and not leave them in an enormous debt!  The collectors have been calling them for months now and he is very stressed about how his family will eat the next day. The monthly medications alone cost $4,000 (after  insurance coverage) and he is constantly in and out of the hospital. After all of this treatment and continued treatment, he is at a very feeble state becoming bedridden and severely depressed.  There is not much time remaining to relieve him of the financial debt which he continues to incur as his condition worsens over time.

Kindly help them with whatever amount you feel comfortable with.  We are trying to at least relieve some of the financial burden as they are suffering through such a terrible fate. Help prevent them from acquiring an insurmountable debt.  We greatly appreciate any amount that your heart desires as this family is going through an unimaginable nightmare! His final wishes are that his family be taken care of and that he leave them with no debt to pay for the years to come. It would provide them with what little comfort there is in a life threatening situation such as this. This would also help prepare them for their futures and college aspirations for his sons. The donations will be used specifically towards medications, treatment, utilities, food, and provide for their children's educational needs. Please share this link on social media with your friends and family to help us raise as much money possible for this deserving family. As a caring community we can make a positive impact on their future!  The funds that are raised here will  be withdrawn weekly and given to the family in the form of a check.  Go Fund Me will remove their 3% fee applied to each donation and the remaining will go directly to the family. 

My name is Rina Mehta and I am raising this money, along with a team of other close family members, on behalf of  my uncle and his family.  I live in Marietta, GA  and visit my Uncle on a weekly basis to check in on his  health and family. I am witnessing this travesty first hand and was compelled to help them. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering to donate!
