Hi, my name is Barb and my father-in-law (Rogelio Melendez) has been diagnosed with Anaplastic large cell lymphoma. He is a loving father, grandfather, and wonderful man from the Dominican Republic. Aside from not having the means to fund the treatment he needs, there is no such facility or center in the Dominican that can help him.

Our goal is to bring him to Michigan where we reside and get him treatment at the Rogel Cancer Center in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Rogelio needs an estimated four to six treatments of chemotherapy, and the cost is around $100,000. Unfortunately, our small family doesn't have nearly any funds at all, let alone something so substantial to help Rogelio live. You all are our family's ONLY HOPE to keep Rogelio alive. God bless you all and thank you for your consideration in donating to his cause. Even if you could spare $1, we greatly appreciate you all!

UPDATE: Thank you ALL so much for the support as we got him a ticket and he arrived on 01/25/2024 safely. We are working towards more generous support to help reach funding for medical exams, procedures and etc.
