A Fantastic Guy (Larry Loera) Cancer Fund

Donation protected
My husband Larry Loera, age 57, has been recently diagnosed with stage 3 stomach cancer.  His polished career as an Optical Lab. Tech. has been put on hold.  We are reaching out to all for Urgent Financial Help with the burdon of medical bills and hardship.  He has been denied Social Security but that is still a work in progress.  We thought that most of his problems were the results of the heart attack he suffered in December (the day before his oldest daughter Raquel's birthday), but this was a result of his immunity system weakening "during" the heart attack.  A rare form of bacteria formed a large mass in his asaphagus, which has now spread to his stomach.  He is currently going through chemo, then will be surgery, and lastly radiation.  He is being cared for by the Banner Anderson Cancer Center in Phoenix, AZ.  They are doing an aggressive treatment to fight this off!  He has lost 50 lbs.  His average weight was 180.  He cannot sleep at night and is almost constant pain now.  He can only digest minimal food, and only eats small portions. 

He is Such a fun, loving and caring man who is Highly Respected by ALL that have come to know him.   His 4 young adult children and 4 grandchildren adore him - it's like he has a kid magnet or something!  :)  I know he means the world to the kids.  I know he sure does to  me.  I will never forget the time he moved us 50 miles out of town to live on the ranch and help his parents, due to his mother's illness.  He made her last days entertaining by popping wheelies with her on her wheel chair, talking with her and laughing with her.  That really moved me beyond words.   What can I say, He is my world.   Any help will be greatly appreciated!   Sincerely,   Athena Loera
