Hi, my name is Carolyn im raising money for my dad. He was born and raised in Groves/Port Neches by a hardworking single mom. He been working since he was 14 years old, most recently in the oil field.
In 2020, his life took a drastic turn. He was injured on the job and had to undergo neck surgery. Just four months later, while still recovering, my family and him were hit by an 18-wheeler. That accident forced him to have a second neck surgery.
Not long after, we started noticing changes in his voice. At first, we thought it was just from the surgeries. But things got worse, and eventually he was referred to an ENT. After tests, they discovered two tumors on his vocal cords. The doctor said it was the worst case he had ever seen and sent my dad to a specialist at Baylor in Houston who handles very complex cases like his.
Unfortunately, during all of this, he lost his job and his insurance. Without either, he hasn’t been able to afford the travel or the treatment he urgently needs. There are days he can’t speak or even swallow, which makes eating nearly impossible. This situation is becoming life-threatening.
I’m asking for help to raise funds for transportation to and from Houston and to cover the cost of medical care and treatment. Every little bit helps, and I’m truly grateful for any support you can give.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and God bless.
