Fund Raiser

Tue. March 25, 2008 I am writing this to find out if anyone can help me organize a fund raiser for my father. He was diagnosed with bladder cancer about a year ago. He went through kemo and that did not take care of it so he underwent radiation treatments. That did cure the cancer but it destroyed his kidneys. Him and my mom are both on social security. Mom has enphazima and has a really hard time doing things at times. I moved back in with them to help take care of them but I am unemployed right now because I quit my job to move back across the state to move in with them. My dad has been doing 2 treatments a week because they have to drive 320 miles each time he does a treatment. My brother and I are both going to start driving him on a third day a week because my father is so weak. He is going to get the home dialysis but that is going to take at least another 2 months and training before he is ready for that. He has to undergo another surgery to take the stent out of his kidney that the doctors put in. My parents are tapped for money because of the doctors and hospital bills that they have that medicaid does not pay for and the gas and motel rooms that they have to pay for so if anyone has any info on doing a fund raiser then please let me know because I have never done one before. I have only went and donated money. Thanks for your time in reading this. Norma
