Girl’s Request 2 Help Save Her Dad (a Most Read) by ameheo(m): 8:57am On Oct 23, 2014
This message was sent to me by a fan and it
was so touching that i have no other option
than to share with every body. Please take your
time to go through it and help her dieing father
in any little way you can. I don't know the
person but am doing it because of God, You too
should do the same.
Save a soul today and make your life here on
earth a meaningful one.
This is the message below. or read it here

It feels like yesterday, but about 3 years ago I
remember my dad making every possible
investment and liquidating most of his asset
just because he wanted me to have a
standardize foreign education. Unknowingly to
him that the same year after I left for school he
would be struck by a heartbreaking illness.
Unfortunately, it took about 2 years to detect
the actual illness -- moving from one hospital to
the other; for one x-ray to another the sickness
was still nameless. My family had no choice but
to start looking for help abroad, consistently
sending his MRI result to an extended family
abroad. Finally there was an answer; my father
was diagnosed with lymphoma. This changed a
lot in my family’s lifestyle, from nowhere came
agonizing struggle; both emotionally and
physically. I had to transfer to a less expensive
college mostly because it would break my dad’s
heart if I dropped out of college. Still yet we
had little hope. With a few loans from friends,
savings, and help from relations, we were able
to send him to India, since coming to America
was unaffordable. The financial struggle
became more and more unbearable because my
family had to struggle between paying for my
education and that of my father’s health and
living expenses. Furthermore, help from my
country was not an option because there are
little or no health insurance or student
education loans.
My father is presently in a stable condition,
still in India, however we are still looking to
raise funds so he could continue chemo,
radiation, and bone marrow transplant. I am
also doing well; with God’s grace I have been
able to make it to my junior year even though
with outstanding fees. But for God, family,
and friends, my family and me have been able
to make it through 3 tough years.
With my father’s story, I would also hope to
raise cancer awareness, and to expose the
struggle of not having health and education
loans/insurance in my country – Nigeria. Since
there are many people like my dad and I who
should have had an early diagnoses of cancer
but, due to unaffordable healthcare or little
expertise in the cancer field, the patient lose
their lives or due to no education loans, drop
out of school.
The money gotten from this fundraiser would
solely go to my father’s health, living expenses
in India, and provide the means to finally go
visit him. In addition, we are considering
moving him to the United States. Help my dad
fight cancer, thank you for any help, including
spreading the word. I love my dad so much and
it would mean the world for my family and me
if he walks out of the hospital cancer free. He
is my biggest inspiration and he continues to
push me to do things I’ve never expected to
overcome. I am what people call my father’s
daughter, “the apple of his eye.” My family and
I really appreciate your help.
