Hi everyone
So, my has Dad, 61 years old, has rectal cancer. In this very frightening time of uncertainty of his survival, my Dad would like to live out a wish of his...
To take his whole family on a big boat for a few days. I was wondering if anyone knew anyone that could potentially rent one out to us fairly cheaply, or even for free.
Any information, we would be very grateful as we just want my Dad to enjoy his time.
Many thanks, love and support to you all
Luisa
Hi Luisa and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm very sorry to read that your dad has rectal cancer but it's great that he wants to treat everyone to a boat holiday for a few days.
I don't know of any organisations that offer cheap rental to people with cancer but you could have a look on the internet to see if any come up in your area of the country.
I did have a quick look myself for charities that fulfil wishes but the only ones I could find were for terminally ill children or young adults. However, you could try ringing one or two of those to see if they are aware of any that provide a similar service for adults.
I do hope you can fulfil your dad's dream
