Our Friend Has Cancer

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Jeff. Our friend Diego, a wonderful young man, was dealt a devastating blow. After surviving childhood cancer, he has been diagnosed with stage 4 Ewing Sarcoma in his lungs, nasal cavity and hip bones. He started his adult life recently, moving to Marquette, landing a management position at Goodwill, and quickly becoming loved by his new community.

Diego needs our help. He is racking up expenses quickly from travel, lodging and co-payments. We expect Diego will have at least $10,000 in costs in the coming months. Mayo Clinic will begin aggressive chemotherapy next week. He will pay for lodging while he is there. Please help this remarkable young man. He has minimal energy and can’t use it to figure out how to afford the basics during his fight against cancer.
