F Cancer - Chato Fights Cancer

Chato (Florencio) Mendoza underwent a partial glossectomy in November 2018 and subsequently went through the necessary radiation treatments.  However, in May 2019, additional cancer was detected after a CT Scan.  At age 41, Chato has now been diagnosed with stage IV tongue/throat cancer.  He will be having a full glossectomy on Monday July 8th in Salt Lake City, UT.  

We want to raise funds to help lighten the financial burden that  Chato's inability to work and Roxana's absence from work to be in Salt Lake City will create.  These funds will assist Chato and the entire Mendoza family with bills, rent, food and anything that will not be covered in relation to medical and travel expenses.  Chato, Roxana and the kids currently reside in Bozeman, MT and the rest of the Mendoza family is in Southern California. This is a very difficult, painful and emotional time for everyone.  

Please know that a contribution as little as $5 is greatly appreciated.  As his brother, I will ensure that all funds are used in an efficient and timely manner.

Please feel free to leave words of encouragement and stay connected in this space.  I will provide updates as soon as available and possible.
