I can’t afford the visit to my dying dad.

My dads in a hospital in France, he has had colon cancer for over 3 years now, the first bout he got the all clear from and then it’s come back with a vengeance. 

None of chemo works any more, my dad looks soo poorly too, it’s hard for me to stand back and just see this happening I feel so helpless. On top of this his kidneys have failed many times he now has stents In them and keeps getting multiple infections, he has sepsis too. Yesterday he got rushed back in to hospital after a doctor noticing on a scam he has got blood clots on both his lung. I’m scared and my mum is distraught, I want to visit them but there in France, I can’t afford the flight and the travel with all my own household expenses. It makes me so stressed and depressed that I can’t even visit my dad. 

Does anyone know of any charity’s or anything that can help with granting some money quickly to enable me to visit my daddy

 

  • Hllo Cherieg and welcome.  So sorry your dad is so ill.  Bearing in mind that I do not know the circumstances of your family is there any chance of one of them helping you with this? I believe there is a charity called The Extra Mile which utilises air miles that their owners do not want or need.  You might like to look this up.  I expect there will be searching questions (money being tight everywhere) but you might like to look and see what is needed.  Annie
