Donate to Anuar’s Cancer Fund: Beat the Odds

Our good friend, Anuar Chavez, is currently battling stage 4 cancer. We’re seeking donations to give Anuar a fighting chance to beat cancer. This fundraiser symbolizes love, perseverance, and an unwavering pursuit to beat the odds.

Anuar’s Story

Anuar is a young 42 year old male who lives a very modest life. He works hard, has no car, and lives with his loving mother, Armida, who had him at the young age of 17. He’s overcome many adversities in his life including a lack of educational resources, financial hardships requiring him to work to make ends meet since he was 15, and withstanding emotional abuse from an alcoholic father. He hustled his way to being a renowned bartender, waiter, boxing coach, and most recently climbed his way to management at a high end hotel.

By nature, Anuar is a very caring and nurturing person who puts everyone before him. He’s been known to accommodate everyone with empathy and compassion whether it’s offering food, drinks, his seat, etc. He’s also known to tip generously (even though he had financial hardships) and would go out of his way to ensure folks at restaurants, hotels, and more were appreciated and seen.

In December of 2023, Anuar suffered a chronic and debilitating cough that left him bedridden for several months. Finally on March 30, 2024, he turned yellow throughout his skin and eyes leading him to the ER at UCLA Medical center where he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer which had already spread to his lungs, spinal cord, and kidney. He spent nearly 40 days in the hospital before being released in May.

But given Anuar’s resilience, he’s committed to beating cancer and overcoming the odds. Just like the various obstacles life has thrown his way, Anuar is prepared to fight for his life!
