Carl Faria's fight against Cancer
Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and compassionate hearts,
My name is Marcus. For those of you who don’t know me, I am Carl’s Nephew and I turn to you, our community. In the face of an unimaginable battle, I reach out to you with a plea for support. My Uncle, Carl Faria, has been confronting the relentless challenges of cancer since May 2021. Despite enduring surgeries and facing the insidious spread of the disease to his brain in 2023, he has not only continued to remain positive but also held down three jobs to support his family.
About Uncle Carl: Carl's journey began in May 2021 when he was diagnosed and had to undergo a life-altering surgery to remove one of his kidneys, spleen, and part of his pancreas. Rather than succumbing to the hardships, he defied the odds, demonstrating a remarkable resilience that has inspired all who know him.
Yet, the cancer persisted, and in 2023, it infiltrated his brain, leading to another grueling surgery. Throughout these trials, Carl has continued to provide for his family by working tirelessly at three jobs, showcasing a strength that transcends the physical.
Triple Duty Hero: By day, Carl imparts knowledge and wisdom as a dedicated grade 6 teacher. His commitment to shaping young minds is truly commendable, reflecting his passion for education and community building. By night, he lends his time to a youth detention center, contributing to the rehabilitation and betterment of those seeking a second chance.
Big Heart for Giving Back: Beyond his professional commitments, Carl has always had a big heart for giving back to the community. His selflessness and dedication to making a positive impact echo in the lives he touches daily, both in the classroom and at the youth detention center.
The Call for Support: Today, we turn to you, our cherished community, seeking financial support to ease the burdens that cancer has imposed on Carl and his family. Our goal is to raise $20,000 to cover medical expenses, and ongoing treatments, and provide a semblance of stability during this tumultuous time.
How You Can Make a Difference: Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a tangible impact on Carl's journey. Please consider donating to this GoFundMe campaign, sharing his story, and extending this plea to your networks. Together, we can provide the support needed to help Uncle Carl continue his fight against cancer and ensure his family's well-being.
Updates and Gratitude: Regular updates on Carl's progress will be shared on this page. Your generosity is not just a financial contribution but a lifeline of hope and strength.
Thank you for standing by Carl during this challenging chapter. Your support is a testament to the power of community, love, and collective resilience.
With heartfelt gratitude, Marcus and the Faria Family
