Seis Luces Inc

Seis Luces, or Six Lights, was developed by Dr. Zahra and Dr Feinstein to enhance the lives of our acute leukemia patients. The mission of Seis Luces is to support, encourage and brighten the lives of patients during their darkest hours. Instead of focusing on research, Seis Luces is invested in creating experiences that bring light to patients’ lives.

On May 17th, Dr. Zahra will be participating in the Keys 100 ultra-marathon, a 100-mile race stretching between Key Largo and Key West. She will be running this race for the third year in a row to raise money for one of the patients supported by our organization.

We are honored to dedicate this year’s race and fundraising efforts to Gabriel Hernández Cedeño and his family. Gabriel’s life was changed this past February when he was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. The news brought uncertainty and fear to his young family—his loving wife and their little baby—who are his greatest source of strength and joy.

Gabriel, a vibrant young man full of dreams, is now facing the biggest challenge of his life. Every ounce of his energy is focused on healing. However, the road to recovery—though filled with hope—has left him unable to work and provide for his family. Medical bills, household expenses, and the basic needs of his child are growing daily, adding financial strain to an already difficult time.

Those who know Gabriel can attest to his fighting spirit, strong work ethic, and deep love for his family. Now, more than ever, they need our help. Every donation, no matter the size, is a ray of hope. Your support will help cover essential costs so Gabriel can focus on what matters most: regaining his health and holding his loved ones close again—free from the burden of mounting debt.

Your generosity can make a profound difference in the lives of Gabriel, his wife, and their baby. Let’s come together to give them the financial relief they need and deserve.

Join us in this chain of solidarity. Be part of Gabriel’s journey to recovery.

Seis Luces fue desarrollado por Dr. Feinstein y Dra. Zahra con el objetivo de mejorar la vida de nuestros pacientes con leucemia aguda. La misión de Seis Luces es apoyar, alentar e iluminar la vida de los pacientes en sus horas más oscuras. En lugar de enfocarse en la investigación, Seis Luces se dedica a crear experiencias que traen luz a la vida de los pacientes.

El 17 de mayo, Dra. Zahra participará en el Keys 100 Ultra-maratón, una carrera de 100 millas que se extiende desde Key Largo hasta Key West. Será el tercer año consecutivo en que corre esta carrera para recaudar fondos para uno de los pacientes apoyados por nuestra organización.

Nos sentimos honrados de dedicar la carrera y los esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos de este año a Gabriel Hernández Cedeño y su familia. La vida de Gabriel cambió en febrero pasado, cuando fue diagnosticado con leucemia linfoblástica aguda. La noticia trajo incertidumbre y miedo a su joven familia: su amorosa esposa y su pequeño bebé, quienes son su mayor fuente de fuerza y alegría.

Gabriel, un joven lleno de vida y sueños, enfrenta ahora el mayor desafío de su vida. Cada gota de su energía está enfocada en sanar. Sin embargo, el camino hacia la recuperación—aunque lleno de esperanza—le ha impedido trabajar y proveer para su familia. Las facturas médicas, los gastos del hogar y las necesidades básicas de su hijo aumentan cada día, generando una carga financiera en un momento ya de por sí difícil.

Quienes conocen a Gabriel pueden dar fe de su espíritu luchador, su fuerte ética de trabajo y su profundo amor por su familia. Ahora, más que nunca, necesitan nuestra ayuda. Cada donación, sin importar su tamaño, es un rayo de esperanza. Tu apoyo ayudará a cubrir los costos esenciales para que Gabriel pueda concentrarse en lo más importante: recuperar su salud y volver a abrazar a sus seres queridos—libre del peso de las deudas.

Tu generosidad puede marcar una diferencia profunda en la vida de Gabriel, su esposa y su bebé. Unámonos para brindarles el alivio financiero que tanto necesitan y merecen.

On May 18th, 2024, I will be participating in the Keys 100 ultra-marathon, a 100-mile race stretching between Key Largo and Key West. I will be running this race for the second year in a row to raise money for the patients supported by our nonprofit organization, Seis Luces.

Last year’s fundraising efforts resulted in over $8,000 that was raised for the patients supported by our organization. This money has allowed Seis Luces to provide care baskets, birthday celebrations and holiday experiences for patients.

I am honored to dedicate this year's race to our patient, Rosemary Luna, and her family as she moves on to the next step in her treatment. Rosemary has been an everlasting light of strength, courage, and grace since day one. It is an honor to be able to run this race in support of her.

Dr. Feinstein and I developed Seis Luces, or Six Lights, to enhance the lives of our acute leukemia patients. The mission of Seis Luces is to support, encourage and brighten the lives of patients during their darkest hours. Instead of focusing on research, Seis Luces is invested in creating experiences that bring light to patients’ lives.

In the past two years our hero, Rosemary, has endured unbelievable physical, emotional, and financial hardships in a fight for her life. Our hope is that her upcoming bone marrow transplant will cure Rosemary of her disease and allow her to pursue her wish of becoming a nurse and helping others. Unfortunately, the financial burden of a transplant, outside of insurance coverage, can be overwhelming for a patient and their family. This includes high copays, expensive medications, gas for driving to daily clinic visits, and covering expenses to allow her caregivers to take time off from work to provide the required 24-hour care that is needed during the year following transplant.

Help us to deliver light into the life of this beautiful 20-year-old woman who has seen so much darkness. Please donate what you can and share this page with others in your network. Every dollar donated will go directly to the patient and her family.
