Gabriel is a Godly man, husband, and father to two young children (ages 4 and 7). He is one of the best EMT’s anyone could ask for and faithful to his wife of 8 years. At age 31, while walking through the store with his wife on June 11th he suddenly had a grand-mal seizure.  He was taken to Medical Center Plano where they discovered a mass on the left side of his brain.  The neurosurgeon was able to remove most of the mass, but unfortunately pathology determined it was a malignant tumor. They diagnosed it as a Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM) stage 4 Cancer. Prior to the seizure he had no other symptoms and in fact had just run 6.2 miles the night before.  There was no indication he had a brain tumor. GBM is a very aggressive cancer that currently does not have a cure. The average life expectancy with treatment is 12 – 18 months.  Due to the seizure he is not allowed to drive for 6 months, and we will have to play it by ear for getting him back to work. We have hope as 10% of GBM patients do make it past 2 years, and we plan on him making it MUCH LONGER. Gabe is a fighter and has always been exceptional. We are asking for prayers for a divine healing, but we also need financial assistance in the every day since he will not be working. Please share our story and hopefully one day testimony with as many people as you can and consider donating. No amount is too small and will be forever appreciated. Thank you!
