Save Gordon and Bring Him Home

Donation protected
Save Gordon. Stroke left him paralyzed and stranded abroad in Japan.
My Dad, Gordon Tippett, has been a Christian missionary in Japan for the past twenty years. Because he was on a tight budget and poured everything into his ministry, he was too poor to afford a single trip home to Canada. Without messenger we would never have seen each other. As it is he's never held his great grandchildren.

On October 22nd 2025, everything changed in an instant. Dad suffered a massive Stroke. His entire right side-face, arm, and leg-is now completely paralyzed. He cannot speak clearly and cannot move without help. He is trapped in a Japanese hospital where the bills are climbing higher every single day, far beyond anything our family can possibly pay.

Dad urgently needs to come home to Canada-home to his family who loves him and miss him so deeply; home where he can receive the long-term care and rehabilitation he desperately needs. Surrounded by the people who have waited twenty long years to wrap their arms around him again.

Your donation will cover the cost of emergency medical transportation (air ambulance or medical escort flight) from Japan to Canada, clear the hospital bills that are piling up, and help with his initial recovery care once he's finally home.

Please help us bring Gordon home.
With Love, Hope and Prayers,
The Tippett Family.
