Anges Dad lives in Australia, alone & in need of support while trying to beat Large B cell lymphoma cancer

Nationwide

UPDATE: Things got a little more urgent, Dad was admitted with a high temp last night and is currently undergoing a million test to find the culprit of this infection. If its the lungs... it could be very bad news. :(

PLEASE MORE THAN EVER I NEED YOUR HELP. JUST ONE $5 DONATION & SPREAD THIS LINK TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. I will also need to take my sons on this trip as it maybe the last :(

My story below...

My name is Ange... .My Dad has recently been diagnosed with Large B cell lymphoma, after years of suffering with Lymphoma, it has changed to a Leukemia type cancer. He is 60yrs young....Hes currently receiving the final round of chemo and all going well will have a stem cell transplant. This is booked in for December 1st.

Dad lives in Central Coast Australia....ALONE.

I am a full time mum of 3 & a student at Hamilton Wintec...I made the decision to go back to study after suffering a nervous breakdown in 2013. I was suffering extreme anxiety after the 2010 earthquakes (as I then lived in Christchurch). This decision didnt come lightly, as losing a (survivable) income was very hard choice!

I have recently (October) spent some quality time with Dad...which broke the bank & delayed my studies, but it was well worth it!

Im home now catching up on due assignments...busy busy. Im able to return to Dad in a couple of weeks when school is finished for the year to be there for him.

Im asking for kind hearted people to help me afford this trip.....get me get back to be with him while he goes through the transplant. Just enough to buy my own food & travel expenses.

Being with the ones you love helps you want to live! I want dad to live....

Post: Sept

My dad is diagnosed with Large B cell lymphoma.... hes currently receiving aggressive chemo and stem cell

transplant.

Hes not in a good way & I need to be with him. He lives in Central Coast, Australia. I live in little ole Hamilton.

As a mature student and mother of 3, I have limited funds, actually thats putting it lightly...I have NO money...

I also have another problem....I have an extreme case of anxiety & suffer panic attacks (trauma from the Feb Earthquakes, as we was living in CHCH at that time of the quakes).

I cant fly alone, I get physically sick I take medication, which makes me sleepy, but im still terrified of getting on a plane especially for a 3 hour trip. I dont know how I could handle a panic attack if I was alone.... So I need to take a support person... which is double the cost.

As Im unsure how long i need to be there, so id also need an open ticket...so the cost just keeps getting bigger.

Please help me get to OZ to see my Dad... and allow me the comfort of a support person...if you can spare $5... I would be sooooo greatful. Also time is of the essence, so id love very much if you could spread the word....

I was never able to tell people of my disability I didnt even go to the DR until I had a nervous breakdown in 2013....But the kindness ive had from those who I speak to about my health issues, is what keeps me living & moving forward. Thank you for your Kindness and thank you for reading my story. Bless
