This summer, my 55 year old father was diagnosed with stage 4 small cell carcinoma. When I was a little girl (since my parents were divorced) I spent every Thanksgiving with him. It was "our" holiday. Given the pandemic, his health condition, & both of our financial situations I did everything I possibly could to bring him to my home for the holiday. I couldn't bare him spending it alone, even though I knew I couldn't do anything special (besides maybe T.V. dinner turkey). When I was a child he made Thanksgiving magical for me and deserves better than what I can provide. This will be "our" last holiday together and I would be so grateful for anything that anyone would be willing to contribute & asisst me with. COVID has left me working only part time & I really don't have the ability to even celebrate the holiday, let alone coordinate the last one with my Father. I appreciate the support more than words could say.
