All in for Aldo

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Rosalinda Martinez, and I am putting together this fundraiser on behalf of some of Aldo's past and present teachers and a community that loves him.
 
For those who don't know Aldo, probably few and far between, he is one of the sweetest, most selfless human beings you will ever meet. He is currently a senior in high school. He has participated in countless musicals, been a peer mentor, spent his time representing various clubs, continuously earned good grades, all while having a smile on his face. Aldo is a student who came here not knowing one word of English. He pushed himself in every way possible and worked extremely hard to learn the language. There wasn't a person Aldo wouldn't go out of his way to greet and share a smile with.
 
Aldo was recently diagnosed with osteosarcoma cancer. His treatment plan entails a minimum of 30 weeks of chemotherapy which will last roughly nine months. The goal is to shrink the tumor to be small enough to remove it from his knee through surgery. He has a long road ahead of him. This means that mom will have to take time off of work to care for Aldo. He has done so much for others, so here's an opportunity to repay his good deeds and help lessen the burden for his family.

Hola, mi nombre es Rosalinda Martínez, y estoy organizando esta recaudación de fondos en nombre de algunos de los maestros previos y actuales de Aldo y de una comunidad que lo ama.


Para aquellos que no conocen a Aldo, probablemente pocos, es un ser humano muy dulce y generoso. Actualmente está en el último año de la escuela preparatoria. Ha participado en innumerables musicales, ha sido mentor de sus compañeros, ha estado en varios clubes, ha sacado continuamente buenas notas, y todo ello con una sonrisa en la cara. Aldo es un estudiante que llegó aquí sin saber una palabra de inglés. Se esforzó en todo lo posible y trabajó muy duro para aprender el idioma. No había persona a la que Aldo no saludara y con la que no compartiera una sonrisa.


A Aldo le diagnosticaron recientemente un cáncer de osteosarcoma. Su plan de tratamiento implica un mínimo de 30 semanas de quimioterapia que durará aproximadamente nueve meses. El objetivo es reducir el tumor hasta que sea lo suficientemente pequeño para poder extraerlo de la rodilla mediante cirugía. Tiene un largo camino por delante. Esto significa que su madre tendrá que faltar al trabajo para cuidar de Aldo. Él ha hecho mucho por los demás, así que esta es una oportunidad para devolverle sus buenas acciones y ayudar a aliviar la carga de su familia.
