Cancer Survivor Says It Was Told to Leave Gas Station

A cancer survivor, who lost his nose and an eye, was left behind after he claims he was told to leave a South Carolina gas station because of his appearance.

According to the man's daughter Brandy Evans, her father Kirby Evans, 65, was picking up a dick to eat at Pit Stop Pitches when he was discriminated against for his disfigured face.

After buying a pack of donuts and a drink, the Brandy alleges in a post on Facebook the store's owner "grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him into his office."

Brandy then claims the owner, who she identified as Donna Crosby later said, "If he was going to eat in here he would have to cover his face."

Distraught over the whole experience, Kirby left the gas station "in tears" before telling his daughter what happened.

Seven years ago, Kirby had surgery to remove basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer caused by an uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells arising from squamous cells in epidermis, the skin's outermost layer.

"He can not help what the cancer did to him," Brandy wrote. "My father is the strongest man. I know what he is doing. It hurt me to see him hurt, especially over something he can not help. "

Brandy also explains her father's case for reconstructive surgery. He is also unable to wear an eye patch because "it rubs the eye socket raw and where his nose was."

"It has to stay open and nothing is touching that area that might it rub it raw."

Since the incident, Brandy created a GoFundMe for her father and raised $ 39,400.

Forks Pit Stop did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.
