🙏🙏🙏Please Help My Dad and Our Small Family Through This Difficult Time I never imagined I would ever have to write something like this in my life... Just a week ago, my dad and I were talking on the phone about the soccer games on TV during the World Cup, laughing, and making plans. Then, within moments, everything changed. My dad suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm last week and lost consciousness almost immediately. Shortly afterwards on the same day, he experienced a second brain bleed at the hospital and had to undergo emergency surgery. Since then, he has remained in a natural coma. The doctors have told us that his prognosis is very poor. They do not know if or truly believe that he will ever regain consciousness, and if he does, they expect him to have severe and permanent disabilities. Even so, we continue to hope and pray for a miracle every single day! This Campaign does NOT mean that we have given up!!! While we are living through the fear, uncertainty and emotional pain of not knowing whether my dad will ever wake up, we are also facing an overwhelming financial burden that we simply cannot carry on our own and are so afraid of. My mother struggles with serious health problems of her own and depends on my support. Although my parents have been divorced for almost 25 years, they remained close friends after nearly 60 years of knowing each other, and she is heartbroken. I am doing everything I can to care for both of my parents. At the same time, I struggle with severe anxiety and panic disorder, migraine with aura of which I have just had another episode, high blood pressure, and cardiac arrythmias, all of which have become much worse under the immense stress. There are no siblings and no extended family to lean on. It is just the two of us trying to face the hardest time of our lives. Over the past few years, our family has already been through more than we ever thought we could bear. My dad fought cancer and, thankfully, recovered. When it later appeared to have returned, he faced treatment once again, and we were incredibly grateful when things looked hopeful again. Then, only about eight months ago, he suffered a heart attack. Each time, we held on to hope. Each time, we believed we had finally made it through the worst. Now we find ourselves here, facing yet another unimaginable crisis and most definitely the worst of our lives. The emotional, physical, and financial strain of these past years has been overwhelming. All we have ever wanted was what so many families hope for: for the people we love to be healthy, to have more time together, and to enjoy a long, happy life together as a family. My dad is such a wonderful, eloquent, literate kind of person whom I have the best conversations with, may it have been medicine, politics or just about life. We sometimes spoke multiple times a day. Like every family, we had our disagreements from time to time, but nothing ever changed the special bond we share. He will always be my daddy, and I will always be his little girl. Every time I look in the mirror, I see his eyes looking back at me. The donations will help us cover the many expenses we will be and already are facing, including my father's rent and utility costs during the notice period, the lease and maintenance for his beloved garden allotment that due to the recent heart attack has been neglected for a while. One of my dad's wishes was that, one day, I would keep some of his personal belongings. Because I live in a very small apartment, I would need to put them into storage for the time being. Unfortunately, that is another expense I simply cannot afford right now. My mom and I also depend on his car because, due to my medical condition, I am unable to use public transportation and with her age and medical condition she cannot either. At the same time, I have no idea how we will manage all of the additional financial responsibilities that lie ahead. The eventual cost of clearing his apartment if necessary and — if the worst should happen — giving him the dignified farewell he deserves. If my father recovers against all expectations, every donation would instead be used for his medical care, rehabilitation, and any support he may need on his long road to recovery. Every donation, no matter the amount, means more to us than words can express. And if you are unable to donate, simply sharing our story would be an incredible act of kindness. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read our story, for keeping my dad and us in your thoughts and prayers, and for giving our family hope during the darkest days we have ever known. ❤️ gofund.me/ff5b0d708 #gofundme #help #emergency #aid #Fundraising #Donation #dono #fundraiser #brainaneursym #brain #aneurysm #family #hospital #destiny2 #destiny3 #bungie @BillGates @elonmusk @TPUSA @BungieLove @EpicTofuChris
