Hey You Guys thank you for Stopping by. I set this fund up to Raise Money to Put My Daddy to Rest.  This all began Oct. 2017 We found out my Dad had Metastatic Lung Cancer Found on Left Lunge. The Cancer was removed out his Lung Dec. 2017. The lower spin because of location of tumor to risky to Biopsy or operate on. No Doctor would put a date of how long My father would have with all of us. A scan May 2018 revealed The cancer was progressing now spreading to the Brain. My Father Assured Me That Funeral Expenses & everything where taken care paid for in advanced & put in place, wishes where made. That's not the case. He left me with a Mess. But nothing I Can't handle. I want to tell you about my father James Robert Melchor. Bobby aka "Bob" Businessman, owner of Kaleidoscope Inc. & A-U-Neek-Boo-Teek for 49 years.
