Help Give Edgar a Fighting Chance

Donation protected
Edgar Qiu is a beloved son, twin brother, and friend who has always brought laughter and good spirit to the people around him. He just turned 21 years old a few months ago and is currently going into his 4th year as a university student at UCSD. 

He is fighting a disease called pineal choriocarcinoma, a rare, malignant brain tumor. Right now, he is in coma caused by his tumor hemorrhaging and bleeding into the brainstem.  


Around June 11th, he was complaining of minor headaches but was still as cheerful and outgoing as ever. On July 7th  he fell into a deep coma. None of us would have guessed that when we left for summer break, it would be the last time we ever get see his smile and and be in his cheerful presence for awhile. We didn't even know he was sick with cancer until we heard the devastating news and by then it was too late for us to do anything to support him. We can't imagine the hardship that his family is facing right now and it breaks our heart. 

This campaign is dedicated to helping the family with the overwhelming financial burden of ICU and possible chemotherapy and radiation therapy. As his friends, we wanted to take the initiative to start up this campaign to not only help the family, but so that we can hear his laughter again.

If you can, please give today. If you know any of his close friends on Facebook, feel free to also send us a voice message so we can play it back to Edgar and he can hear your love and support. You can also just leave a quick message at the end and we'll read it to him directly. 

Thank you all in advance for your love and generosity. 
Life is hard and unfair and oftentimes terrible, but that doesn't mean we can't fight on together.
