1 year to live please help stage 4 prostate cancer

Donation protected
Hey all! My brother, sister and I created this gofundme for my father after he was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer. He worked as a restaurant general manager for about 25 years, providing as a father and helping us to experience many things that opened doors for us such as traveling to Europe and Asia and buying cars for my siblings and I. After leaving his last place of employment, he came to Ohio to be with us and our mother. While moving furniture, his femur snapped, also breaking part of his hip. It was a highly unexpected incident in the manner it happened, seeing as all of us assumed he was in good health. While being at the doctor for his injury, he was diagnosed with cancer after finding out that it had spread to his bones, (stage 4 of any cancer), which was why his leg snapped so easily along with his hip. It took him 13 months to walk normal again, he had surgery to put a rod in his leg and he had to use a Walker for several months, eventually using a cane. Today, he is not using either and his leg is recovered but he still has many health problems relating to the cancer. Decreased ability, side effects from medicine, little appetite and a plethora of other symptoms as well. We set up this gofundme to help him financially with living expenses, and for his lifelong goal of owning an rv and traveling the country. Not only has it been a lifelong goal, but he would have the ability to live without the cost of rent; as the disability and social security he receives is not nearly substantial enough for his expenses and a heavy drop from his income from his career as a restaurant GM. My siblings and our mother all work and do all we can to help him. We could use the support and help of his friends, family, and anyone who may come across this whether it’s a donation or simply kind words. Thank you in advance for all of your help, and if you have any questions you can reach me (Dana) through the gofundme contact section. Thank you!
