Support for Dad's Battle with Pulmonary Fibrosis

Donation protected
Hello everyone, I’ve decided to make a new gofundme for my dad, because I thought no one was seeing the old one….
So as many of you already know, my dad has idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis - which means scaring of the lungs with no known reason. It is a progressive disease, with no cure, merely a medication to “slow the progression down”, but ultimately, the disease wins….
April 2024 he took his first bad “turn”, was in the hospital for a week and got prescribed oxygen. He had remained stable until recently…
Sunday 3/1, he took a fall when trying to go to the bathroom. Complaining of dizziness. Ambulance came and took him to the hospital. He’s ok from the fall, but the real concern is his lungs/oxygen. His oxygen needs are increasing quite a bit. They did an updated CT scan of the chest and the scarring has gotten quite worse. His BP seems to be quite low, and they’re trying to get a better understanding of why before they send him home.
Ultimately, they are giving him 6 months to a year (maybe more, maybe less, it’s a hard disease to predict) I am making this gofundme now to hopefully raise some money for an inevitable funeral - regardless of when it may be. My dad has been and still kind of is in denial about this and has ZERO savings or any plans in place.
Any donations and even shares are extremely helpful. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for support during the hardest time of my life.
