Gofundme for my father

Original thread
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018844451#post35
https://www.gofundme.com/7ja9yk9x

I didn't want to keep kicking my old thread, so started a new one.

Long story short, my dad has spinal stenosis and damaged discs in his back, works 3 jobs just to make ends meet. Any help is much appreciated. Whether it's 5 dollars or 50.


Thank you all for being a great place to come to and feel welcome.

I have both stenosis and a herniated disc. They're acting up and I can barely stand up, so I literally feel his pain!

I try to do alot around the house so he can relax. I always tell him if he needs me for lifting or something to get me first. He's stubborn though, lol

my own gofundme going right now, and the outpouring of support from Duer's has been so tremendous that I can't express in words how much it means to me. I just went grocery shopping yesterday, so I'm good for a week or so. When I have to go again, I can get 2 12 packs of Ramen noodles for $5 and eat those for a week or so. It's worth it to me to help another DUer right now, and already paying forward on all of the help I have gotten!

Best wishes to you and your family, and may your dad get some relief from the pain... I know EXACTLY how debilitating it is!

Peace,

Ghost... aka.... Douglas A Davis

I just woke up after a very long night. Wound up at the E.R. until 5:30-6:00 this morning after my Aunt was taken off in an ambulance, and I went with my mom & sister to be there for my Uncle & cousin..

Best wishes, and good luck!

Peace,

Ghost

My dad wanted me to thank you. He's not computer savvy so he doesn't use them much.

and hope it is helping...

I hope he is getting some relief from his pain. As I said before, I suffer from chronic pain from a broken neck & back and know how debilitating it can be. I would not wish it on anybody!

Best wishes to you and your family...

Peace,

Ghost
