Santico Warrior Club-Carlos Mercado

Donation protected
My brother Carlos, is 44 years old and was diagnosed with "Burkitt-like" Leukemia two weeks ago. A little over a month ago we were celebrating the news of his transfer from Miami to Jacksonville. He is a dentist and works for a Dental group. After 7 years, he was finally leaving the South Florida life. Unfortunately, he never got the opportunity of meeting his new staff/coworkers/offices because by March the 4th he was being transferred from Mt. Sinai (Mia) to Mayo Clinic (Jax). Even sadder is the fact that ever since he heard the diagnose he is more worried about the financial side of the situation than the disease itself. He barely sleeps because even though he was granted a 3 month leave from work, he is receiving no monetary compensation and he is responsible for paying for his health insurance. We are currently planning on building a "room" for him at our house. He no longer has a place to live back in Miami and his car was sold here in Jacksonville a week ago. Carlos, as many know, is the kindest most generous human being ever! He literally gives and gives without expecting much in return, just a "Thank You". He is also a gentleman, with the best manners a person can have even at his worst. For all the reasons stated above, for the obvious ones and the not so obvious, please donate to help Carlos financially during such difficult time and giving him much needed peace of mind. I am aware that medical bills will sum up to more than the goal I've set, but I have other fund raisers in the making. Remember, any donation is an AWESOME one! My deepest thanks in advanced!!!!!! For those readers who don't know me, I am Mariana his youngest sister and best friend. I am blessed to have him as a brother!
