Help My Dad Get Cancer Treatment
Donation protected
Hi my name is Keaton and I'm 16, that's my little sister Karley in the picture and she's 12. Seven weeks ago our Dad went to the doctor because his side kept hurting. The dr put him in the hospital that week and he's been in there ever since. They say he has Stage 4 Neuroendocrine Carcinoma, I don't exactly know what that means but I know it's bad because they say it is very hard to treat, especially at this stage. There are only 2,000 people a year diagnosed with the cancer that he has.
Anyway, I am putting up this page as a surprise to my mom and dad because my Mom says we have to get Dad moved to a hospital in New York called Sloan Memorial (and because my Mom isn't good with computers. lol). We live in Florida so the cost to travel to New York will be a lot of money, and Karley and me want to go with him if we can raise enough money so we can buy airline tickets, hotel, and pay to get Dad moved up there. My mom works for the school board and she's already having a hard time with all the medical bills and everything.
For anybody who doesn't know my dad here's a little about him. First of all, he's awesome. Him and my mom met in high school in Bartow, Florida and they've been married 20 years this year. We found out Dad was sick on their anniversary. He is 44 years old and a very hard worker. He's worked for the same company for almost 20 years as a foreman and supervisor.
(That's my Mom and Dad)
I never thought anything like this would happen to one of my parents, but I guess everybody thinks that. I am afraid that just because we don't have the money to get him to the better hospital that he's not going to get better. So, I am asking anyone that can donate, even if it's only a couple bucks, to please help us. My Dad would never want to ask anybody for help, but he doesn't deserve to not get the best treatment possible just because we can't afford to get him to NY.
Thank you for reading this and if you can't help us that's okay, too. But, can you share this link with your Facebook and Twitter friends so we can reach as many people as possible? Hopefully we can reach the goal soon and we can all have a part in getting Dad to the best place...home.
