The Soto's Cancer Fund

My name is Jacklyn Soto.  I am the youngest child of Joseph and Denise Soto. My brother,  Carlo, and I have decided to make a GoFundMe for our parents in order to help with their fight against cancer. Twenty five years ago,  my mother was dignosed with breast cancer.  She was in remission,  but three years ago in August,  she was diagnosed with stage one colon cancer. A year later,  she was diagnosed with uterian cancer. My father,  who is a retired police officer, worked two jobs to help support her medical needs. He was always on his feet and got barely any sleep,  but he continued to work to make the funds to get my mother to MdAnderson in Houston, Texas.  He missed his check-ups and other doctors appointments in order to have time to work more. I had to quit my job in order to become my mother's full-time nurse and caretaker. After a few years, my mother made my father make an appointment for his colonoscopy he had been putting off. He didn't want to take time off,  but made himself an appointment at the Cancer Prevention Center there at MdAnderson. On January 11th 2017, my father was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. On Friday, February 24th, the doctors found two cancerous spots on his lungs. He will have to go through six months of chemo.  He has already lost one of his jobs and we fear he may lose the other. At this time, I am unable to work;  I am now living with my parents to become their full-time caretaker. Cancer is very expensive and it is even more costly when you have two patients in the same household.  With medical and pharmaceutical bills building up on top of our everyday bills, we are in need of financial help. We also need funds to get to Houston,  which is about three hours away from our home in Shiner, and money for lodging,  food and other needs for we often have to stay over night. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Also,  please like and share  and ask your friends to do the same. Thank you so much!
