About two years ago my father was diagnosed with stage four, of five stages, of Lukemia. How he survived is somewhat of a miracle doctors said. He had the blood cell count of a heart attack victim and was still standing and communicating in somewhat of a fashion. I was devasted and during my highschool years this greatly affected me. My parents had split up and at this time of recovery had put my father out of work and left the household without income. My mother does what she can to help me out but with her condition of Avascular necrosis that began in the knees and now has spread to both of her hips doesn't allow her to work either. Both in pain and inable to help the income of the house made my last years of highschool very rough. At these times most people don't see how difficult things are. One single court case that has been going on for over a year now without and official meeting hasn't given my father his license back in addition to all of this. Without him being able to get around efficently digs a deeper hole into establishing ground for the household.



Now I'm furthering my education and attending college. During this break I was given news from my father that he now doesn't only have Lukemia but Lymphoma as well. He awaits for the go ahead to be prescribed a certain prescription to get better and I will always believe in him to recover just as he did before. During this time we have been told me must move from the house by the landlord by April 1st. Housing on Cape Cod is very difficult to find for someone renting with a son, a cat, and a dog. Without any income and with me trying to attend college leaves my father with a heavy burden. This burden is never really seen for what it is by others and not even by myself. He has dealt with stress his whole life and with all this pressure on him I can't begin to imagine how he feels everyday. I hurts to see my father so stressed when he isn't healthy on top of all these circumstances and they continue to reign down on him. Time at the house has been beyond difficult and continues to be so. Food isn't always in the fridge, cable isn't always on for my homework, phone bills suck no matter what circumstance, and to top it off we must pack up and move to a new house by April.



My goal is to raise this money in order to relieve some of the stress my father has and to help us not only get back on our feet but to help us move. This is a time of need and every bit of help will be greatly appreciated. I do this because it's gotten to that point.. My father has never wanted anyone's pitty or help due to circumstance. He is strong and always will be but a helping hand and or, hands will be the best in this situation. I would thank anyone who would be able to help us. This would be our chance to pack up, move, pay bills, help me through college, and get us back on our feet. My father means the world to me and has done anything and everything to make me who I am and everything I have and will do. With cancer, it's hard to provide for those you love not due to the want to provide, but the physical toll my father is taking from this cancer. Any bit will help us everyday to regain our strength and continue to move foward in our lives. Thank you.
