Support appreciated! Our dad has glioblastoma.

Donation protected
Hi.. I'm Jennifer, my dad's oldest daughter/child, and I'm raising funds for my dad, Kim "Casey" Clodfelter. He's a 1972 graduate of Miami High School, in Miami, OK, and still resides there. He's only 69 and was diagnosed recently with glioblastoma. If you read, or know, anything about this brain cancer, it's not a good prognosis. He had a very large tumor removed from his brain on Jan 22nd. My dad has worked, serving people, his whole life.. as a nurse. He, and his wife, always give to others in need. Even keeping a food pantry in their home. Like many of us, my dad never thought of retirement. It happens. In fact, he was still working as an RN when the signs and symptoms of this awful cancer reared its ugly head. He started having issues with cognition and even wrecked his new truck due to visual issues he wasn't aware of. Now, there is home health, transportation, monthly bills included. My dad and his wife have never been one to ask for help. His wife had been an amazing homemaker. So I'm asking for them. I know it's a bad time for all, but any amount would help take the stress off for the present bills. The pic you see.. is the way I still see him. Vibrant and healthy. This cancer knows no "risk factors" or "lifestyle". It's completely random. The money raised would go to whatever he needs to survive today.. and, sadly, any final expenses for tomorrow. He never got a chance to retire, so I'd love to give him a chance to relax in the amount of time that we have with him. If you can give, thank you. If not, please share. I know that to you, he's just another person. To me, he's my Dad. The other half that made me. The man that's cared for so many.. as an ICU nurse, psych nurse etc. I thank you for what you can do. A lot of us never plan for the end. That doesn't mean we should suffer for it. Thank you, friends.
