A Family Shaken, A Warrior Rises: Help Fight Sudden Cancer

Help My Family Fight Cancer—Every Dollar Truly Counts
Dear friends, kind strangers, and compassionate supporters,

Just two weeks ago, I was living my dream—traveling with my wife and child, enjoying time together without a thought of hospitals or medical bills. Suddenly, our world changed. In the span of 48 hours, what started as a hiking injury turned into a devastating diagnosis: my spine fractured and collapsed from undetected cancer lesions.

My wife Carolina rushed to support me as I lost the ability to walk and felt every hour become a battle against pain. Without her care, I would not have made it back to Tampa for advanced treatment at Moffitt Cancer Center. But the fight is just beginning.

We are facing overwhelming costs—out-of-pocket bills, hospital stays, medication, tests, and the loss of income as my wife and I focus solely on my health. Carolina is doing everything she can to hold our family together through tears, calls, paperwork, and care, but she can't do it alone. Every dollar donated eases the crushing financial burden and helps me advocate for my health, my family, and the best possible outcome.

I am humbled to ask for help, but we truly need it. Your generosity gives us more than hope—it provides medicine, care, and the chance to heal.

100% of donations will go to direct medical expenses and my recovery. If we are blessed enough that my cancer goes into remission, every remaining dollar will be donated in full to a cancer therapy program to help others beat the odds.

Thank you deeply, from our entire family. Even if you cannot donate, please share this story, and help us find the support we desperately need.
