Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
I am reaching out for support during a difficult time. In October 2021, my father was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer (glioblastoma). Despite the grim prognosis, he has fought bravely, undergoing three major surgeries, radiation, and chemotherapy.
In June 2024, my dad faced an emergency surgery when the tumor returned. Though the surgery was successful, his recovery has been incredibly difficult. He is now bedridden, unable to communicate, and fully dependent on care. Yet, even in the midst of his hard recovery, my dad’s love and spirit shine through.

This picture was taken on my aunts birthday, and despite everything, he still wanted to be part of the moment and sing happy birthday with us — a beautiful reminder of his strength and love.
My mother, who has been his full-time caregiver, has not been able to work, and my parents currently have no source of income.
With my dad unable to work and my mom being his primary caregiver, their financial situation has become overwhelming. They are facing $16,000 in debt from a bankruptcy in 2023, along with mounting medical bills and daily expenses. My brother and I are doing what we can, but we need help. Any contribution, even $5, would go a long way toward helping my parents focus on my dad’s long road to recovery without the burden of financial stress.
Your generosity will make a difference in their lives. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is just as meaningful. Thank you for your kindness and support.
