Help with Michael’s Funeral

Hi, my name's Katalina, and I started this fundraiser on behalf of my dad-- Michael Pho. Just recently, we found out some devastating news. He was diagnosed with stage four liver cancer, and has several tumors on his liver, including one dangerously large one. Due to the aggressive sizing of that tumor, and the amount of arteries connected to it, surgery is not an option. Exposing the tumor to oxygen will only cause it to grow faster. As of right now, the only option doctors have is to try to prevent further growth.

He is a father not only to me, but to my three sisters and one brother. Apart from us, he is loved by so many others. Not just the by rest of our family, but by his friends and colleagues. Michael is the type of person who always makes sure everyone around him his having a good time and is taken care of. We hope that with your help, and these treatments, he will be able to continue enjoying those moments.

All this being said, Michael currently lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with his wife and youngest daughter, Katie. Katie is only three years old. I am currently residing in Alabama, and the rest of my siblings live in Florida. Michael is very weak and cannot work during this time. For these reasons, any donations made will go directly towards aiding in our travels to see him, as well as any medical and daily expenses such as groceries, childcare, etc.

Any and everything will be greatly appreciated, even if it is just a share of this post and keeping our family in your prayers. We would all like to thank you in advance for helping us during this tough time.

With love,

The Pho family
