I hope your father has a refuah s’hlaimah.
That being said, if you halachic questions, why aren’t you starting with your local rav?

(Apologies in advance if you did and he gave you this list to go and ask.)
Maybe his insurance doesn’t require it.
I was addressing wolf’s implication that you need your rav’s permission to speak to a gadol.
I know your question is important to you, but many questions arent as difficult as you think and most Rabbanim can answer them.
Gedolim are expremly busy and are always either learning, fundraising or otherwise helping their fellow jews. Its best to minimize contact with them with other than most urgent Shailos

Yes, but balance that with the fact that we gain from our contact with them.

I know people who ask every stupid question that any Rov can answer to Gedolim. This is actually something that should be taken to a Gadol not the eich maasrim bmelach questions!
I was addressing wolf’s implication that you need your rav’s permission to speak to a gadol.
I did not imply that at all.
However, I would think that the proper way to go about things is to ask your local Rav. If he doesn’t know, then he can refer you to someone who does.
If you don’t think your Rav is capable of answering the question and will be too embarrassed, unwilling or unable to refer you to someone else whom he believes will be able to answer it, then perhaps you need a new Rav.

He asks his Rov first and his Rov can decide if its need to go to the Gadol or not.
Or perhaps, if I have the oppurtunity to ask someone bigger than my rav, I should.
It’s if my rav would have an issue with this, that I would feel that I need a new rav.
Good Shabbos.
Its not a matter if your Rav has a problem, its a matter of wasting the Gedols time.
Maybe your question isnt important, but if 500 people felt the same way and asked the Gadol a similar question when it was easier to ask a local rabbi, the Gadol would have more time for more pressing issues.
OP
If you want a Bracha from a Gadol, Why not send a Kvitel to BMG and ask for a Bracha from Rav Kotler or Rav Newman
Inquirerr,
You are quite correct.
You can try to reach some through their yeshivos (I’ve reached R’ Shmuel Kamentzky that way).
Hatzlochah!
Maybe post his name for Tehillim, so we can all say a kapital or two for him.
Inquirerr, are you aware that were all the addresses to be posted on the internet, this could cause the gedolim involved a lot of trouble? The internet is a very public place. It’s like posting their addresses on a billboard.
If you want access to Gedolim, it is safer to ask your Rav or Rosh Yeshiva to help you than to ask on the internet.
Google is your friend. Write to them and ask for the Bracha

Inquirerr what’s his mother’s name? For a choleh it goes by the mother’s name.

What bump? It’s a bad idea to post addresses online. We in the CR can say Tehilim. Gladly.
If you really want to know their home addresses and phone number, Just do what everyone else does, go to the Website Intelius and search for the people you want.
Its no big secret.

Isn’t Rabbi Kanievsky, Shlita, at 23 Rashbam St. in Bnei Brak?
I know you asked for gedollim but if you have medical shaylos i reccomend reading “the little book for big worries” by rabbi yy rubinstein. He lists many orginazations and people to contact for help in the back of the book.
By the way the book is geared towards the people dealing with a loved one being sick, and not just for the sick person themselves.
Rabbi YY Rubinstein is also very reachable and deals with these type of cases often as he unfortunately lost his wife from cancer and speaks a lot about dealing with suffering etc.
Best of luck and stay strong!
If you are ever in Philadelphia and you go to the mikvah on erev pesach most times Reb Sholom Kaminetzky is there. I was zoche to meet him that way.
