Hi everyone,

I’m writing this on behalf of my partner and her family, who are going through one of the hardest times of their lives. My father-in-law — a kind, hardworking, and caring man — has been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.

He’s been fighting with all the strength he has, going through chemotherapy and doing everything the doctors recommended. But recently, we received the heartbreaking news that the treatment is no longer working. The cancer has spread to his bowels, and he’s now in the hospital after being very sick from constant vomiting and pain.

He’s a proud dad of two beautiful daughters — my partner, who is 39, and her younger sister, who is 25. They adore him more than words can say. Watching their dad go through this has been absolutely devastating for them. Despite everything, they’ve been by his side every step of the way, helping their mum care for him and trying to stay strong for one another.

My two children, aged 11 and 9, love their grandpa deeply. They call him TaTa, and he means the world to them. Seeing their TaTa sick has been incredibly hard, but they still light up when they get to visit him, hold his hand, cuddle him, and make him smile. He has always been such a gentle, loving presence in their lives — a true family man who adores his grandkids.

My father-in-law has always been the type of man who puts everyone else first. He’s worked hard his whole life to provide for his family and make sure they were safe and happy. Now, as his health declines, the family is struggling to keep up with the mortgage and household bills. My mother-in-law won’t be able to manage the payments on her own once he’s gone, and we’re doing everything we can to ease that burden for her.

We’re asking for help — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page — to give my mother-in-law some peace and stability during such a painful time. Every little bit helps and means more than you could imagine.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for taking the time to read this, for your kindness, and for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.
