For several weeks my father, Ted Driver, has not been feeling well. He was losing weight rapidly, always felt tired, could not eat solid foods, and had lost a lot of his color. He made a trip to the hospital in May 2016, and was told by doctors he was depressed and had an eating disorder.



After noticing his health had continually diminished, family forced him to go back to the hospital on June 14th. Doctors then ran a CT scan, and found that he had Renal Cell Carcinoma. They discovered a tumor on his left kidney, measuring approximately 9cm, with lesions on his liver.



The doctor is wasting no time in getting everything moving. As of now, he met with the Oncologist today, June 20th, who has ordered an MRI and CAT scan to be done ASAP. He will also be getting a biopsy on his lungs and liver. He meets with the Urologist Wednesday, June 22nd.



The problem we are facing is, my dad does not currently have health insurance, and the doctor has told him to take off at least a month from work. This is leaving him no way to cover any of his expenses.



For the guy who has given so much to everyone, it is our turn to give back to him. If you have had the opportunity to meet my father you know that he is one of the most generous and selfless people you will ever meet. He always makes sure me and my brothers have what we need before he takes care of himself.



The money raised will be used to pay for his medical expenses and to help cover his lost pay. This is the hardest thing we as a family have ever gone through. We would like to eliminate as much stress as possible so that when he beats cancer, which we all know he WILL, he can go back to living his life without a huge burden of debt.



As of now I have set the goal to $10,000. His first hospital visit alone totaled $1700, so I have no idea what to expect, but I will continue to keep everyone updated through this page every step of the way.



Anything you can donate will help, and if you cannot donate then PLEASE share!!



Thank you,

Tylor.
