For the Love of Craig

Our beloved Craig Soto was recently diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.  By the time he was diagnosed, it had spread to his liver and lungs. Craig is a hard worker and dedicated family man.  He is one of the nicest and most honest people I know.  He has a wife, three children, three step-children, and two grandchildren, all of whom reside in Phoenix, Arizona.  He is always the life of the party and loves to make people laugh. These days, he's not laughing much, but you can see a smile cross his face when his family is gathered around him as nothing is more important to him than his wife and children.  He is struggling to fight this ugly disease, but the enemy is rapidly taking over his body with each passing day.  His wife, Raquel, has been his Angel, his rock.  She is beside him every moment, remaining selfless, strong, and steadfast in her love and devotion to him. Craig's biggest wish was to take their youngest son to Disneyland as he had never been before.  Family and friends recently pulled together to make this happen, but there are still unexpected and overwhelming expenses that his family is struggling to pay and the medical costs are increasing at a rapid rate.  Raquel is trying to run a household on her income alone, but the daily expenses and challenges she is faced with do not allow her the time, nor the money, to plan for tomorrow as the days seemingly run into one another. Despite the hurdles, she has shown amazing strength, compassion, and responsibility in her quest to ensure Craig's needs are met, including those of her children.  With this fund it is our hope to provide some financial assistance to Craig and his family during this difficult time.  

On behalf of Craig's family, including all those who know, love, and are supporting him in any way they can, we would appreciate any kind of donation you can offer to this fund, no matter how small. Please also feel free to send a positive message of love and support to lift his spirits.  Thank you for your consideration and taking the time to read this. God Bless you and your families, including all those who have fought or are still fighting this horrible disease.
