HELP OUR DAD LIVE FOR MY BROTHER AND I. WE HAVE ALREADY LOST OUR MOTHER (in photo above) TO THIS SAME AWFUL Metastatic Cancer LESS THAN 5 YEARS AGO. We are all still in grieving from her passing and now the most unbelievable and unfair nightmare we knew would always be in the past has somehow reappeared and is now taking Jeff Bonadiman through a very terrifying moment. May The LORD along with us being able to provide new treatment options HEAL our Dad ON EARTH. Mom is already in Gods kingdom. She left us too early and too young at age 56 from breast cancer that metastasized. Now, Jeff Bonadiman, our one and only dad, age 57, was recently diagnosed with lung cancer that has also metastasized. We already have an empty hole that is not reparable from mom. We WILL NOT allow him to go anywhere yet. Not on our watch! He is not, and never was a smoker. My brother Conner and I, along with all family and loved ones are in complete disbelief and extreme shock about having this situation take place. I am 29 years old with Conner being 25. We are not ready for both of our parents to leave us. We have not recovered from our mothers passing and now our wonderful father has been struck with lifechanging news :(He has built his own business from the ground up through so much struggle, pure hard work, dedication and has never given up! Even after Mary Bonadiman (mom) passed, he somehow continued to work and provide for us, keeping everything inside just to make sure my brother and I would be ok. He will always be my idol. He worked so hard at keeping us together mentally and financially that for the first time in many many years, he was able to successfully save up earnings the last two years. The crucial time and commitment he put into his new business finally started to become real, and was paying off! We all are so proud of him. But now, I do not and can not think of any words to describe how immensely heartbreaking it is, to watch all his savings he worked so hard to accumulate, his pride, and his accomplishments diminish before his eyes because of cancer treatment costs, diet change, insurance rates, and a whole different lifestyle that is eating us up so badly right now. Both mentally and physically. We are all very scared and want to be able to provide him the best possible range of treatments available, hopefully being capable of trying all options, no stones unturned. Time is too precious right now when it comes to dealing with stage 4 cancer. Please help us, he is all we got. We are all he has got. I cannot watch another parent of mine go through this asinine, heart shattering, life sucking disease, this soon! Its still too unbelievable for me to grasp my mind around it :( I f anyone is willing and wanting to grant this man a possibility to fight better and harder to get his identity and pride back, to still have his two sons alongside him and for us to get our dad back, then please help, OUR DAD. Thank you all for even taking the time to just simply read this and send positive energy and prayers my fathers way. Anything helps. Our father must live, and he "is ready to take this disaster head on." So good for him to have a mindset like that. He needs us and we need him dearly. God Bless everyone and a happy safe Summer.
