Help my dad, Terry through epileptic brain surgery

Donation protected
For those of you who know my dad (Terry Joyce) you know he is not a quitter he has been though a lot over the last 3 years having multiple surgeries and now fighting temporal lobe epilepsy, struggling every day with multiple seizures, he has tried pretty much every anti-seizure medication that either don't work or make him very sick both physically and mentally. He now has been given the opportunity to go to the neurological institute in Montreal (McGill university) to have brain surgery to hopefully remove the section of his brain that has the epilepsy. His neurologist here says he is a good candidate.

With all his surgeries over the years and now epilepsy it left him without a career path unable to work labour intensive jobs and having to give up his job as a welder, he is unable to drive and unable to do the things he would love to do. My dad always had a dream of owning his own business and over the pass few years of struggling he never gave up his dream he finally opened up TJ's sports & embroidery and loves every part of being able to work with all the amazing people in each community.

My dad will have to make several trips to Montreal starting March 18th were he will meet his team of surgeons and begin extensive testing for the surgery which will be a huge cost to him and while trying to raise 2 young boys, put me through school, keep his store running and maintaining a household, this has and will continue to be a huge financial impact on him, he is fighting for us everyday now I want to do something for him, this will cost him thousands of dollars and hopefully this will help ease some of the financial stress. If you could donate to this cause I would be forever grateful, no donation will go unnoticed and no donation is ever to small, even if you can't donate just a simple share will be greatly appreciated.  Please help my dad get through this tough time as he will miss months and months of work while trying to keep his store up and running and we could use your help.

Thank you from myself, Nathan, Brayden, Pam and the whole family and most of all a huge thank you from my dad himself, this will be a test for him but I know he can do this with help from friends and family. After this journey hopefully my dad can be seizure free in just a few months. His journey to become seizure free starts March 18, 2019.

Thank you
