Hello everyone!

This is my dad, Mick Hopfensperger.  He was diagnosed last year with stage 3B non-small cell carcinoma.  He was treated successfully, at least somewhat for cancer in his left lung. Unfortunately, he was recently diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer that spread to his left adrenal gland and other areas of his body.  He was given up to six months to live, and we hope to make this last longer with some chemotherapy treatments. Unfortunately, he recently picked up the flu and was admitted to a local hospital for a week-long stay. He was found to have sepsis, pneumonia, and MSSA while on his stay and came very close to death. Thankfully he's doing somewhat better and will soon be moved to an assisted home for a month for further treatments and rehabilitation. Due to all this, his chemotherapy has been delayed.

My dad's finances were a bit of a mess, and funeral planning is underway with the help of his friend and caretaker, Jo Starkey, my wife Amy, myself, and various friends and family. We all hope to live long and healthy lives, and sometimes we forget to plan ahead for our eventual end, and this is the situation we are currently working to rectify. My father would like to be buried near his parents at St. John's Cemetary. I'd love to give him the best we can for his final send-off in the nicest way possible. Medical bills, funeral expenses, and his previous debts are really what we hope to eliminate and give him peace of mind before he leaves us.

If you want to help, please feel free to donate. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
