Please help my father with stage 4 Leukemia.
Donation protected
I am making this go fund me on behalf of my amazing father, Tristan Schaffer. Tristan has had leukemia for about 11 years now. However, his leukemia was never life threatening and was always at stage 0 for as long as we can remember. Ever since spring 2020 his leukemia skyrocketed. He hit stage 4 Leukemia. He started getting chemotherapy, been in and out of work, but, he made it through. Just this Fall he started feeling better and went back to work. We thought he was all better and his cancer wouldn’t get that bad again. Unfortunately, we thought wrong. December 15th, 2020 he was on his way to work and he started shaking. He came back home falling on the floor. Our whole family was distraught. We brought him to the hospital and he was there for 2 weeks. We couldn’t even have Christmas with him. He signed himself out of the hospital December 30th. We thought he was doing all better the first couple of days and we could treat him at home. Just last night, January 4th, we had to call the ambulance. He would have died if we didn’t call. We are struggling very badly financially. He’s owned his own barber shop for 30 years and has ran it all alone for the past 16 years now. He is a very hardworking man and does everything he can for his business, customers, and family. Due to him being extremely ill and in the hospital he has lost his whole entire business. Therefore, we have no more income to pay bills... Any amount of help counts no matter how big or how small. Tristan has a wife Michele, 52, and 3 kids, Micheal who is 26, Jessica who is 21, and his youngest daughter Olivia who is only 16. We all are trying our best to pay for our house, electricity bills, car payments, etc. So please if any of you can help us in these extremely hard and tragic times, it will be more then greatly appreciated. Thank you all and please keep praying for our amazing, hardworking father, husband, and best friend. All he ever wanted was to make us happy all the time, now it is our turn to make him happy again.
