Help Shirley and Mike win the fight against Cancer
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
I am not sure how to really start this because I am not one to usually reach out for help. But right now my family could use some help.
Many of you know and have come to know and love my mom and dad, Shirley Tracy and Mike Tracy.
On the Friday of March 24, 2023 my dad went in for a biopsy for a tumor in his lung. While under anesthesia his heart stopped. CPR brought him back and because of CPR he then needed a chest tube due to his lung popping and then collapsing.
Fast forward after a 4.5 day stay in the ICU for him to wake up and come around after anesthesia, he ended up back in the emergency room on the night of March 30, 2023. He is coughing up copious amounts of blood and is also experiencing bloody noses on top of that.
In the emergency room they called the pulmonologist who said if Mike wasn’t transferred to U of M or Henry Ford and admitted he may not make it through the night. Mike will be transported via plane leaving my mom at home until she can tie up loose ends and join him. This will put her out of work, the only income they currently have.
As most of you know my parents are full time camper living and currently live at a camp ground. Between the bills, my mom not working so she can take care of Mike, and now all of the new found costs of trying to navigate my dad’s lung cancer they need help.
They are honest hard working people and right now they just need help in any way they can get it.
My sister, brother, and I are trying to support as much as we can but we also are dealing with our own day to day struggles of trying to live in this expensive world.
If you can help at all just know we appreciate it and above all just keep up the positive vibes and prayers because none of us want to see my dad go anywhere any time soon. ♥️
Thank you,
Ashlee and Desire
