#XavierStrong: Join our fight against brain cancer

Donation protected
Xavier is an 18-year-old boy who has been recently diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer: a high grade glioma. He is a phenomenal athlete in beach volleyball, a student at University of California - Irvine, and plans to pursue a career in film and TV production. He is uncomplaining, positive, and radiates goodness and joy. He is loved by so many.

We have consulted with multiple doctors at UCSD and Rady Children’s Hospital, who have unfortunately informed us that this is an incredibly difficult cancer to treat and overcome. However, we and the doctors are going to fight as hard as we can for him. Therefore, our intentions with this Go Fund Me are twofold:
1) To pay for the cost of Xavier’s treatment, and enable him to keep fighting
2) To give him the most joyful and peaceful quality of life in his time left on Earth

Xavier has been in the ICU for two weeks and has already undergone two brain surgeries. There will be more surgeries and treatments in the future. Doctors will start radiation therapy and chemotherapy followed by a clinical trial. They believe that this is the best possible treatment they can give to him at this time.

Please keep Xavier, our family and his medical team in your daily prayers, intentions, and thoughts. It is the greatest help you can give to us. With your help we continue to have faith, hope, stay positive and help Xavier fight to overcome this disease. The doctors explained that gliomas are not curable; however, they have also acknowledged they’ve witnessed miracles beyond medical explanation. We hope that your continued prayers for Xavier will bring about a miracle.

Any donation is so appreciated. No gift is too small. The support from our community has been essential in our fight for Xavier. Your donation will help our family tremendously in our effort to pay for medical expenses, and hopefully give Xavier the best quality of life for the remainder of his time here. Whether you contribute a dollar or a prayer, we are confident your gift will positively impact Xavier’s life. Thank you!
