Christian's Brain Tumor Expenses

Donation protected
My name is Sergio Lopez and I started this campaign to help my son pay off medical bills that will probably take a lifetime to pay off.

Brain tumor.

On October 10, 2018 Christian experienced a grand mal seizure, he was rushed to the emergency room at St. Joseph's hospital in Tucson, Arizona.  After CT scans and MRI they found the tumor.


The neurosurgeons at St. Joseph's told us that they did not feel competent enough to operate due to the large size and location. They strongly recommended for Christian to be transferred to the world–renowned Barrow Neurological Institute  in Phoenix, AZ. We all agreed and he was transferred there that same night. At Barrow's they confirmed the diagnosis and decided to remove the tumor on Friday, October 12. The tumor was successfully removed after an exhausting 10-hour operation. 


Long fight ahead and bills.


Christian is only 21 and barely starting his life as an independent man, he had just signed an apartment lease to live on his own a couple of weeks before all this happened. 

No insurance.

Christian was about to enroll for insurance on November 1, just a few weeks after all this happened. 6 days in ICU, MRIs, medications and more. Expenses for radio and chemo are next.

Christian is a fighter and will never give up this fight; he just needs us to supply him with ammo.

Christian, his mom Dora, his brother Diego and I thank you from the deepest bottom of our hearts for any help that you can provide. The money goes directly to Christian's medical expenses.

Latest update.

Christian was released from Barrow Neurological Institute on October 15. He is back in Tucson healing his wounds and preparing for the fight ahead. The final pathology has not been released but the doctors say that it is more likely grade 2 or 3 cancer. The plan has not been decided yet because we have to wait for the final pathology for the Barrow's tumor board to convene and discuss.
