Dad's Battle with Cancer, support handling his affairs

Donation protected
Update: my dad fought really hard, but his battle with cancer has come to an end. He passed peacefully in his sleep yesterday afternoon. My brother and i were with him.

We still need a bit of financial help, to pay for services as well as a probate attorney as we weren’t able to get a will in place in time. We appreciate each and every donation, thought & prayer. Thank you.

As some of you may know, my dad has been battling Stage 4 lung cancer and COPD/emphysema. He has been strong and has been fighting hard (Irish tend to do that!), but at this point, we're needing to ask for some help.

We're reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your support as we care for our father. This has been the most difficult time of our lives, and I've had to step away from work to be there for him. Every day is focused on making sure he's comfortable, safe, and surrounded by love. I will be stepping away from work without pay, as I do not have enough PTO to cover the time needed to be there to support my father. My brother, Dustin, hasn't been able to work for a few months as he's been my dad's primary caregiver.

My dad is a veteran, served over 10 years in the United States Army. He's traveled for work all over the world to ensure we are okay.

Your donation would go towards travel to and from the hospital/his house (once we get him home), and daily necessities that are becoming increasingly hard to manage on our own. Anything would help, even just sharing this would be amazing. Thank you in advance.
