My 73 year old father Larry has been fighting cancer for three years. I know everyone says this, but he’s the best guy I know.

Him and my adopted mother adopted my brother and I in their mid forties, previously they had adopted my birth mother who was an addict with mental health issues.

Seven years ago, my brother Jason overdosed and passed away.

Two years ago my mother had a stroke and my dad took care of her by himself because I couldn’t afford to go down and see them.

My sister recently fought cancer as well. And got a clear scan right before my dad got diagnosed with cancer. It seems like as a family we all let out a sigh of relief only for it to be taken right away again.

My family moves forward with a lot of grief, trauma and financial struggles.

when the present, and future is uncertain each day I am away from my father eats at me.

With this amount I will be able to afford a plane ticket to see my parents, and the taxi ride two hours from the airport to where they live, and back. Parking for my car to bring myself to the airport. I will be able to afford to take off work for a week to see them which because I am paycheck to paycheck, is the biggest struggle.

I want to treat them to a dinner, and just be in their presence.

I miss my parents.

I appreciate all and any help. Thank you so much.

my ultimate dream would be the three of us going on a trip together, as a family. Talking working through and healing the things life has thrown at us. Until I save up for that. I’d love to just see my parents.

thank you so much.
