The funeral of David Bates

Donation protected
Hi my name is Leanne, my dad David fell extremely poorly all of a sudden with a bleed on the brain, he has always been the soul provider for my mum who is now struggling not only with her husband being in critical care in Preston royal hospital, but financially. I would love to raise some funds to help her with general cost of living and the rest of the family with travel expenses etc. we have always been a hard working family and have never asked for any help before.

So David was in an induced coma for 3 days, he’s been off sedation for over 30 hours now and barely any improvement. It’s going to be a hell of a long process, it could take weeks or months for my dad to get better and get out of hospital. We have no idea what damage the bleed on the brain has done so we have that to deal with if he wakes up.

thank you in advance for all your support, it means the world and more.

**update** my dad didn’t come round after two days so they took him for another scan and found another a big bleed on his brain again so he was taken for a second urgent brain surgery! We want to be by his side every single day. I am now missing work so losing a lot of money. It’s going to be a very long journey providing he wakes up soon you are all appreciated whether it’s a donation or just a share. Thank you ❤️

*latest update*
we are hoping for a miracle now I can’t lose my dad he is my everything!! He isn’t showing any signs of waking up from his second lot of brain surgery. If he doesn’t wake tomorrow (14th feb) they will do another scan, if it shows there are no more issues then basically his brain is too damaged to come round. They will give him another few days after that to see if a miracle happens, if not then we lose him! Our lives will never be the same, he’s the family glue, our rock and loved by many, he is a well known man due to his trade in tattooing so we have countless people praying for him. Please pray for a miracle we can not lose this man.

unfortunately the damage from both bleeds on my dads brain were so catastrophic he didn’t make it. All funds will now go towards the funeral of my dad and we want to make it one hell of an send off, he had so much impact on the lives of many and has marked the bodies of hundreds of customers over the years from his tattoos. If you can contribute to the send off of a legend it would be appreciated so much! Thank you
