Tom Hutchinson is my step dad,however he has been the best dad any girl can ask for He has been married to my mom now for 30 years. He is one of the most loving and amazing human beings that I know.He dedicated his whole existence to taking care of my mom and his 3 daughters.( 2 of which technically weren't his) He never showed favorites. I owe this man so much. A lot of my morals and values I carry today I learned from him.July 15th 2023 he went to the doctors for a hernia and that day we found out he had stage 4 metastatic rcc kidney cancer and that he was inoperable as it has spread too much. He was given roughly 1 year. The good Lord has stretched that an additional 5 months and counting,but things don't look good. He is still dealing with the hernia bc his condition they can't do surgery. He has fluid in his lungs,he can't eat,barely can even walk anymore. He did chemo and immunotherapy to no avail. Now they have him on a new medication that they keep running out of or have to wait for insurance( which is so slow) so his treatment is not consistent which is t helping. Not to mention a one month supply is over 20grand ( lucky he's had help with prescriptions) however the end of year is approaching so now comes the very high deductable that's gonna have to be paid the beginning of the year. Our family is very small so they don't have much support.My mom works at Walmart. She is the only source of income and it's been such a struggle to maintain bills,can barely keep groceries and never mind any of her necessities bc she has focused everything on her husband.One sister lives close by and she is there to help as much as she can while meyself and my other sister live almost 3 hours away .My mom is so overwhelmed as it's got to the point where Tom is physically unable to do anything for himself anymore so he relys soley on my momma who's working overtime on top of caring for him.My heart breaks for the both of them. I'm praying to at least be able to alleviate the burden of finances if even only just a little. I feel like right now my mom should be able to spend quality time with Tom as with each passing day the worry is there of how many more days they will have. She shouldn't have to struggle with making ends meet the way she is.I love them so very much and cancer is such a devasting disease. It's incredibly hard to watch it eat someone you care for from the inside out and at such a rapid pace. My goal with this fundraiser is to help allie ate the stress of income just a little so my mom can focus more on being present with him and to be able to provide Tom with anything to bring him a little joy or comfort at this time. He is so amazing. I've not heard him complain once about what he is dealing with and I yet I know he is in pain and miserable. He has stayed so positive as he doesn't want to see his girls upset on his behave Plz if your able and see it in your heart to help in any shape form or fashion my words can not begin to express how grateful my family would be. We have accepted that there is no cure but the hopes are to make this journey the slightest bit easier. Also to show them that there are loving people in the world that will be supportive of one another during the difficult challenges of life.
