Bring Hernan Home: A Family's Rally Against Cancer

Eleven years of partnership have made Hernan Rodera not just the father of our three daughters but also my steadfast friend and supporter through life's most challenging moments—including personal health battles and profound losses. This year, we were devastated to learn that Hernan has stage 4 stomach cancer, which has spread to his liver. Despite this grim diagnosis, our resolve to fight remains strong.

After exhausting all available options in Canada, we discovered a promising treatment at a clinic in Tijuana, Mexico. Driven by hope and the possibility of extending his life, we managed to cover the initial cost of $26,000 for his treatment, plus the travel expenses involved. Although the treatment has not progressed as we hoped, we are not ready to give up.

Why We Need Your Help:

As we plan for Hernan’s return to Canada, we are faced with the daunting challenge of managing the medical bills incurred abroad and the costs of continuing his care at home. Our financial resources have already been significantly strained by my own fight with cancer and ongoing medical needs, leaving us unprepared for the additional burden this situation demands.

We are reaching out to you for support to help bring Hernan home and cover these critical expenses. Your contributions will make a significant difference in easing the financial stress on our family, allowing us to focus on Hernan’s care and recovery.
