Fernando's Fight

Fernando Padilla, aka Pancho, as many of you may already know is and always has been a hard working man. He has spent his life working for his family to give them the best he could. He and his wife, Lupe Padilla, have raised their 4 kids and have been blessed with 11 beautiful grandkids and their 1st great grand child on the way. In November of 2012 Fernando underwent a double lung transplant after suffering from pulmonary fibrosis. Pancho received what they call the nation's first "breathing lung". It was a successful transplant and he was given what he calls a second chance at life. Unfortunately, a few years later, he once again is fighting for his life. He has been diagnosed with skin cancer and while being treated he contracted a blood infection. He no longer is receiving chemotherapy/ radiation treatment due to his current state and he now needs 24 hour care. This campaign was created to help his wife and kids while they now dedicate their time to the care of their husband/dad like he once did for them for so many years. Whether it be prayers or a simple donation, it is all greatly appreciated by the Padilla Family!
