First of all, a big thanks to everyone who donated last Sept, which paid towards my dads hospital accommodation, medicated and care (https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/yves-lamour-treatment).

As a brief recap, our father, Jean-Marie Yves Lamour, is 65 years old had been living in the Gambia working as a Professor and consultant. He was diagnosed with colon cancer in early 2017 and was admitted to the National Oncology hospital in Havana, Cuba last summer. Unfortunately the 1st line of chemo- and radiotherapy were unsuccessful, and has since started 2nd line chemo yet the hospital have stopped now due to unpaid bills.

It's been a struggle for the whole family to balance raising money to pay towards the bills or using it to visit our dad, and many of us have taken out loans or maxed out our credit cards. It's also heart-breaking that he's so far away, especially as we do not know how much time he has left.

The latest bills (until 18th May) already add up to £3400 GBP, yet by the time the fundraiser will be over, the bills would have come up to roughly 5000 GBP (~2 grand every month).

The doctors have confirmed that his tumour is inoperable and the chances that its curable are pretty slim. Nevertheless the chemo has been vital in alleviating pain and making him feel better, allowing him to keep in touch with close ones, and work on his book about consciousness, a legacy he plans to leave behind.

We thus kindly ask if you would be willing to donate to help contribute towards hospital costs, so that he may continue his treatment, and live the remaining part of his life with dignity, being cared for and (hopefully) finish writing his book (which happens to be on the meaning of life).

We are very grateful for every contribution, however big or small.
Thank you so much again,

- Sabrina, Nicholas, Xavier, Akili and Tidjani Lamour
