Stoughton Student Has Special Graduation Ceremony for Sick Father

STOUGHTON, MA - Despite sitting in a hospital bed in Boston, a Stoughton man was able to see his son graduate from high school with a special ceremony for one.

Last week, Guy Eddy received his diploma from Stoughton High School but with his dad in the hospital due to his medical condition, members of the high school's faculty and Eddy went to his father's hospital room so he could see his son graduate.

As Stoughton teacher Liz Londergan wrote on GoFundMe, the Guys moved to Stoughton from Lake Tahoe due to his father's battle with liver cancer.

"Guy and his Dad moved from Lake Tahoe to receive medical assistance from the Boston hospitals due to his severe medical conditions. Guy's Mom passed away when he was 7 and he and his Dad have created a tight father-son bond throughout Guy's life," she wrote.

Guy will be attending Dean College in the fall and while he does have some financial aid, he needs help. With his father unable to work due to cancer, Londergan created a GoFundMe page to help Huy pay for college.

"Please help my student raise money to help him go onto college and pursue his dream of becoming a ESPN reporter. This would mean the world to me if we could help Guy feel supported and have the ability to pursue his goals in life," she wrote.

The fundraiser was posted Sunday evening and has a goal of $50,000. Click the GoFundMe embed to donate. Click here to see photos from the special graduation ceremony.
