Hi my name is Tanya Mullikin and i am writing this to try and fulfill my fathers last wish.My father is 73 yrs. old and has had a very full and hard life.He was 16 yrs.old when he started his first family,and was 17 yrs old when he went into the service.He was in the Korean war as a Navy Corpsman attached to the Marine Corps.When he came back and got honorably discharged he went in to law enforcement and became a police officer in Kansas,Missouri,and Louisiana in the 50's,60's,70's,and early 80's.He was wounded and almost paralyzed as a cop and has several awards for heroism and valor in both the military and law enforcement.When he retired from law enforcement retirement benefits were very small nothing like they are now.In the early 80's he lost vision in his right eye and had an operation on it and tried to save but they couldnt.My father worked at other jobs after that and started his second family very late in life which is where i come in.In 1992 he lost vision in his left eye as well and had to have two operations on it within a 30 day period.He was a Mason in the Shrine also but had to give that up to feed his family and pay bills.In 1993 my mother was hospitalized for a week for breast problems and by that time the medical bills were outrageous and this just made them worse.They wound up having to go bankrupcy to get rid of the medical bills.In 1994 my brother broke his ankle and that also made it hard on my parents,because again more medical bills.They struggled to get every thing caught up and paid and still get what us kids wanted.Then in 1998,my brother Davidwho was only 20 yrs.old drownded and died that was very hard on all of us and still is,but following that in december of that year my father was diagnosed with cancer we thought that everything was over and thought the worse of it.He had to go through chemo and radiation therapy and then went in for surgery,and so far it is taken care of,but he still has to go to the doctor every 6 mos. for test.The bills are so big and unbelieveable.He is now 73 yrs. old and blind in one eye been through cancer lost a son and cant find anyone who will hire someone like him.I would like to recieve enough money to be able to fullfill his last wish before something happens to him.That wish is to move his family and house out to the country and pay off the house and bills,with some left over to be able to build a shop to make wood products and sell them so my mother dosent have to worry after he is gone on how to pay for everything.I would like to see my father very happy when he goes and with no worries and the family cant help him because we are all in a bind this would make me very happy also.I hope there are people out there willing to help my father with this wish.
Thank You,
God Bless
