I'd bump it, but is it really doing anything at this point?
Anything more we can do? I could give a little more, but that would have only a small effect. I tried to contact Ryan Shrout from PC Perspective to perhaps see how one can go about getting a hardware donation for a raffle (he's done this in the past), but didn't get a reply.

Unfortunately, bringing this to attention on SG is about the limits of the scope of what I can do to help at this point... I welcome any suggestions and attempts at helping Miyuu further - Hopefully there might be a more efficient place to take this donation effort now that the SG community have done their part mostly.
For now, thanks for your efforts, it's appreciated.

My answer is sadly about the same as jbond's. I welcome any suggestions as well. I and others have shared as much as we can, even by posting to a handful of large Discord servers.
As of right now, essentially all the funds is dried up. Turns out my father also lost what they call "Extra Help for Medicare" which assists in paying for prescriptions.
Things that have been covered by donations include medications such as test prep and the pain killers he'll need post-operation, colostomy bags, a walker that the insurance refused to pay for because they did once and the nursing home screwed him over, and a little bit was spent ensuring that he has his dietary needs met.
As always, thank you for everything!

Two things I can think of, regarding the Gofundme campaign:
Tag it 'cancer' instead of 'medical'. There may be people interested in supporting cancer patients and going over that list, and they won't find this project.
Post more updates. You've posted some updates here (like the one I'm responding to), but I think that if anyone comes by the project, especially now that it's a few weeks old, it would help to understand that it's still active and that the money is helping.
There's no guarantee these will help greatly, but I think they won't hurt and might help.
Some more digging brought up this tips page. I don't know if any of this really help, but it does seem that campaigns can have rewards, which could perhaps be used as an incentive, even for SG. The giveaways in this thread are open to everyone, but if donating let people into a whitelist giveaway for highly sought games or something like that, it might help. Or, as they say, even personal thank you messages or other stuff could encourage people to donate, or to donate more.
Again, just throwing some ideas. Can't be sure any of them would actually help.

There's a category for Cancer. It does say 'Medical Bills & Cancer', but the campaigns there are tagged as cancer. Example campaign.

I tried asking on the Facebook page of GoFundMe. Got only a canned answer, but it suggests contacting them via https://support.gofundme.com/hc. You might want to try that.

A Steam friend is going through a hardship, as he and his family are in need of funds to cover medical fees for his father. He made a fundraiser in hopes of getting the help of any kind stranger that may be willing to, but without visibility, a fundraiser is nothing - So I'm creating this thread to try and spread the word a bit.
I ask you to please take only a moment of your time to read the Imgur post they made.
I don't expect you to fund a random stranger on the internet - If you can provide any kind of help to them, even as small as reading their post, bumping this thread, sending some love and such, I'll be very grateful and so will they - I'm certain of it. But if you can provide monetary support, even $5, you will be a huge help towards reaching the funding goal. Every little bit of help is appreciated a lot.

Remember, it only takes seconds to do any of this and it will help tremendously.
If you've read all the way down there, then thank you. You've already helped by stopping by and giving this thread a read.
June 21 update:
As the thread was now closed but Miyuu wanted to share an update to anyone who might be revisiting this thread;
His father got his lung biopsy results back today and his lungs are cancer free. He has an appointment scheduled July 6th for a MRI and a CTScan to ensure the tumour hasn't gotten too much larger, where they'll decide on either more chemo or removing it as soon as possible.
