Eric’s dad has always been the rock of his family, putting the needs of others before his own. For years, he’s been the primary caregiver for his wife, who has ALS and has been bedbound for over two years. Recently, insurance changes forced her from hospice to home health care, leaving the family to cover many expenses out of pocket. On top of this, Eric’s dad is also caring for his brother-in-law, who is on hospice and living with them as he nears the end of his life.

The family’s situation became even more challenging when Eric’s dad was rushed to the emergency room with blood clots in his lungs. While doctors were able to treat the clots, further tests revealed he has multiple myeloma, a form of bone cancer. This diagnosis came after years of pushing through pain and injury, as he continued to care for his loved ones without seeking help for himself. The family had to sell their home, and now Eric’s dad, his wife, and his brother-in-law all live together in Eric’s sister’s living room, relying on a modest retirement income that barely covers their bills.

Eric’s dad is his hero and best friend, and Eric wants nothing more than to give him the security and peace of mind he’s always provided for others. The funds raised will help pay for medical bills and home care for Eric’s mom and uncle, and allow his dad to focus on his own health without the constant worry of financial stress. Any support, no matter the amount, would mean the world to this family. Thank you for helping Eric’s dad find hope and relief during this incredibly difficult time.
