Urgent: asking for aid to help my dad who has stage 4 cancer
Donation protected
Hi,
My dad recently became diagnosed with a life threatening medical condition and is currently disabled with no income. He does not qualify for retirement, disability or supplemental income.
We really need any help we can get to pay his mortgage, taxes, out of pocket prescriptions, a heating system for his home, dog food, supplements, etc. while he's unable to work.
I am trying my best to pay what I can but it has been one thing after another and I am burnt out, scared, and overwhelmed. I just want to help my dad and relieve whatever stress and fear I can while he battles stage 4 lung cancer.
If you're able to contribute it would be a huge relief for both of us. His mortgage is $1300/mo. He owes $3000 on his takes, $1100 and counting on his electric bill, and he needs a new heating system because he currently has no real heating system and lives in New Hampshire. The 15k would go towards a heating system, getting caught up with taxes and the electric bill, his cell phone, his dogs food and the rest would be applied to his monthly mortgage payments until he can get back on his feet.. if he is even able to.
There's a lot more detail I could add but I just want to get this started to try to get some assistance.
I have been applying for all possible grants and trying every avenue I can think of. He does have food stamps as well as meals on wheels so luckily we aren't worried about food.
I've also been applying for higher paying jobs to be able to help financially but it's not an overnight process unfortunately. I work full time and am trying to manage his care and appointments and my own mental health so I truly don't have time for a 2nd job.
Thank you
