Holly Parrish hasn't added a story.
My dad is a merchant marine and has always had a job that kept him away from his family. But in the last two years he has had throat cancer and beat it, become disabled because he needs two knee replacements and two shoulder replacements, and now he has Mesothelioma from asbestos exposure from 25 years ago. His entire life he has done nothing but worked hard to support his family. And now he is only 59 and his health is deteriorating. What's worse is that he is sick in America while his wife is living in Brazil and she cannot afford to come to be with him. Because he has not been able to work in so long and because his medical bills are piling up, he can not afford to pay for his wife to be with him in what may be his last days. We are not trying to raise money to find a cure, because supposedly there is no cure for mesothelioma, but we are trying to raise money to reunite my dad worth his true love in order for them to be together for his last days. I truly believe that if he is with his wife that he will fight harder and he will have a better chance at fighting this aggressive disease. I plead with you, friends and strangers, please help my step mother get here to be with my father. :'(
