Cancer sucks!! I'm scared that I'll lose my dad, and I desperately need help!!!

Thursday, August 28th: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and disabled woman, and I regret needing to ask for help, but I need assistance in covering travel expenses to visit my dad & return home.

On August 15th, I received a call from the hospital regarding some check-ups my dad had due to a persistent cough he's had for some time. To our dismay, they've diagnosed him with throat cancer. We're still processing this, and my dad was given two options: chemotherapy or a laryngectomy (removal of the voice box).

The last few weeks have been especially tough, with my dad travelling back and forth to The Royal London Hospital for various tests and scans. Thankfully, the doctors have assured us that if the cancer hasn't spread, the best chance for survival would be to proceed with a laryngectomy. He is scheduled for the operation on Tuesday, September 2nd.

If all goes well, he’ll spend about a month recovering in the hospital, learning to breathe, eat, and communicate without his voice and through a stoma. However, while he is in the hospital, we need to return home, which puts us in a tough spot, as we could only afford one-way tickets. A return trip costs £167 for two adults.

I know this is a big ask, but if anyone could spare even a small amount—just £1, $1, or €1—it would make a truly significant difference. Sharing this message would also help just as much.

Sorry for the lengthy post, and thank you so much for all your help and support.

£7.11/£150!!

I don't want to talk much. The occupation doesn't care if you're a civilian or not. It just kills while it closes its eyes. My family is in danger every second and there is no safe place. Today we were very close to death. My children have lived nothing but fear. Donate. Please, so we can escape and live. Don't let us die while you are silent and just watching.

Please support this initiative! For every $10, SIHA Network is able to provide one menstrual hygiene kit for a Sudanese woman or girl. That is a small amount to pay for an incredibly powerful donation.

Donate directly at the link below.

(I found this charity from this tweet. The price for menstrual hygiene kits seems to have gone up since it was written.)
