Help Garry get the proper treatment

Donation protected
Hi,

Two years ago my dad was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension with right side heart failure. It's a hardening of the arteries in the lungs which makes the heart work harder. As a result his right side of his heart is double the normal size. In fact, the pressure got so high that he blew a hole in his heart. Right now we are fighting with a build up of fluid. Currently he weighs 150 pounds but the doctors estimate without the fluid he weighs 105 pounds. If the fluid continues to grow it will constrict his lungs and he will go into heart failure. This is where it gets tricky, my dad needs to get a permanent drain put into his stomach to drain the fluid. However, the bottles that the drainage needs to go into cost $100 a liter. My dad will need to get approximately 2-3 liters off a week and this is an ongoing procedure until he passes away. This is where I vulnerably ask for some giving. My dad is the biggest goof, with an even bigger heart, and I'd like to keep him around as long as possible but with our current finical situation we would be unable to pay rent, eat and afford his treatments. Any little bit helps. Thank you for your time.
