About this fundraiser

Hi my name is Derek my fundraiser is for my father who is disabled. The money is for home repair and   disability equipment. It is to make it easier to use the facilities and get around and make life more accessible . We need to renovate the bathroom. Example a roll in shower widen the door way to enter the bathroom, new toilet and vanity also grab handles. Than a bigger door entrance to enter his home including a ramp. A mobility scooter big enough for a 6' 250poumds adult and be able to stretch his legs because of bad circulation.. a hospital bed with rail's a walker with seat and wheels. A wheelchair that is big enough but can get into tight spots. This is a long shot but I'm not expecting this but a vehicle that is a wheelchair accessible or a disabled person. Like I said I'm know this a long shot but this man deserves it so much. A little back story on my dad and why we need your help. My father is the most kindness,caring, generous loving human I know he has saved many lives and never wanted anything in return, he has always been there for family and friends from helping to move, to work on there vehicle to helping build a House. Help with money situations. And just lend a hand to whatever it would be. My dad has gone through a very difficult life from having his parents walk away from there children and being pt  in childrens aid  from the age 11 to being on his own at age 16 and only having  a grade 6 education. And age 27 have a full artery replaced in his right leg to be just clogged up after a few weeks and being told within a ten years  and be told he would not have that leg but that didn't happen, than at age 37 ruptured his back and not able to have repaired due to unusual condition of the spine. Going through a very difficult divorce at age 46  than a stroke in 2022. Now here is the reasons why he needs this help now. He went upto Toronto general hospital for a surgery for multiple aneurysms but he was having a lot of pain in his left foot and dark redness that halted the surgery for the aneurysms and to find that he had a massive blood clot in his upper left leg that led to do a graft from his already poor circulating right leg.overvto his left leg. Than a month later in rehab he caught a skin infection than he was taken to another hospital in Toronto and had delirium that resulted to getting out of his bed and falling and breaking his right hip. They did replace the hip but now his legs are extremely swollen from his toes to his knees and has a lot of pain is his groin and nobody has figured out the real reason why he has these issues. He has been up in Toronto away from home since February and it is now late June. So any help is greatly appreciated it from the bottom of my heart he is on pensions that's why him nor I have the money to do the work that is needed my full time job is taking care of him. I have nobody else and no other companies to help either than PSWs for his bathing. At this time he is supposed to be released on July 4th but it has been changed three times so I really don't know when nor what shape he is going to be in.  Right now he can't do anything on his own either than getting himself into a wheelchair a very small amount of walking like 5 meters. So again I never have done this before never asked for help like this and I don't expect much from this.
