Help my family for my birthday!
Donation protected
As many of you know, this year has been a hard one for my family but especially my dad, Todd McMichen. Earlier in the year my dad fell off of a 6 foot step ladder and tore every ligament in his hand leaving him unable to work doing what he loves, which is saving lives. Just as he was getting back on his feet after several surgeries and lots of rest, we were given devastating news. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It is very aggressive and he has to have surgery on August 30th to have it completely removed. Even then, there is a 30% chance that it will recur and he will have to undergo radiation. If that wasn’t enough, he slipped and fell the other day and caught himself with his already fragile hand and dislocated his thumb. While recovering from that he woke up a few days ago with double vision and severe vertigo. He is currently hospitalized at Brookwood medical center where he has received a stroke workup. Thankfully it is not a stroke but he did receive a spinal tap which will confirm one of two things. Either his type of cancer is releasing antibodies that is attacking a part of his brain and the only way to resolve it is to eradicate the cancer, or his cancer has spread to his meninges which is very serious. My dad is not one to ask for help and he hates to have his business put on the internet however, I am sincerely asking for help during this terrible time. My mom is working her butt off to make sure that all of their bills are paid but it’s hard for her to do that and also be there for my dad. So, for my birthday in lieu of gifts I am asking for financial help for my family for my dads medical bills and to help during this very very hard time.
