Dad's down - Stage IV Lymphoma - could use a hand
« on: September 03, 2008, 08:23:46 PM »

Hello everyone.  I can't write to all of you as friends because I've not been fortunate to meet everyone who will read this.  I need to ask a favor though.  The CVO Community is special enough that i know you'll at least consider the request.  Thanks beforehand for taking the time to do so.

My father is very ill with Stage IV Cancer.  He's fought a battle of this sort previously, but not to this magnitude.  Not long ago we were afraid he'd not come through it this time.  We still don't know he will.  But he's fighting hard again.

We've had to move him from his home here in Syracuse to Houston for life saving treatment.  The treatments have been long and difficult and expensive.  Our family has helped where we can.  But now the expenses are almost as frightening to him as is the disease.

No one is asking for help with large medical expenses.  That's too much.  Do not give until it hurts.  But, if you can, enough to help just a little would be a Godsend.

The cost of a dinner out or what you'd spend taking the family to a movie.  Something like that.  It would mean more to my dad than you can know right now.

More history and a donation link can be found here:

Thank you, everyone.  Very much.

Howie and Raquel, the brief mentions that had come of your dad had I'm sure left many of us wondering how he was doing.  So glad to read he's gotten as far as he has but still startled by the frightening road yet ahead of him.

Can't even begin to imagine what it might be like for him and for all the family supporting him.  You guys deserve credit too.  Though of course the focus has to be on him right now.

A little help is no doubt far more difficult to ask for than it is to give.  Congrats to both of you for stepping up to ask in a way that couldn't have been easy.  Tell your dad a group of crazy Harley riders are saying hi and keeping him in their thoughts.  Will send the Old Man a little meal money after bit.  Not a biggie.

Just finished reading and in some cases re-reading the links at your dad's little informational site.  Quite a road he's taken.

Once again just no words to share sympathy for what all of you are going through.  Thanks again for the opportunity to feel selfishly good about doing just a little to help someone that really needs it.

Don put it very well in that it is harder to ask than to give. I'm happy to give, especially after I saw one of his favorite songs is Duke Of Earl. He is in my generation. God Bless all of you and I wish y'all the best on this journey.
