Katie's Family Needs Help Through Dad's Illness

I'm Katie and my Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 kidney cancer that spread to his spine and fractured his neck. He went in for surgery on May 29th to have his neck stabilized, and they found another large tumor in his throat. He has since had a tracheostomy, a blood clot, a small stroke, pneumonia, and other setbacks. My Mom and I live in Longmont, and Dad has been in the ICU at the University Hospital in Aurora an hour away.

This week I was fired from my job even though I was trying to take a leave of absence under FMLA protection. I'm raising money to help me pay for gas, tolls, and vehicle maintenance required to make the trips back and forth to the hospital. I could also use help with basic needs for me and my Mom. Thank you for any support you can provide during this extremely difficult and stressful time.
