Lets help k9 officer Jimenez kick cancers behind!
Donation protected
My husband is probably gonna kill me for doing this, but .. Here it goes..
Back story;
My husband went into the ER on August 2nd 2023 and we thought that he would be home in a few hours. He went into the ER thinking he was dehydrated and just wanted to get some IV fluids because in his mind he thought he wasn't drinking enough water. No big deal .. So I thought..
I waited for him to return home , I was applying for some jobs. My husband has been a k9 officer for 20+ years and he was set to retire August 25th 2023. The plan was that he would be "Mr mom" and I would work full time so we can keep up with our bills . That planned changed within minutes of a phone call.
My husband was admitted the same day because of a 15 inch solid mass found in his descending colon and his liver was 21cm enlarged with lesions .
A few days later they did a colonoscopy and a liver biopsy and we had to wait a few days for the results. The morning of his surgery exactly an hour before his procedure (August 11th 2023) we were told his diagnosis.. a rare cancer called Neuroendocrine cancer stage 4 along with adenocarcinoma. Prognosis isn't set yet as a petscan has to be done. Chemotherapy/immunotherapy will happen soon . He really had no time to process any of this . I am trying to do my part by taking over whatever he needs done, but I know outside of not being with his family, his main concern are finances.
Anyone who has gotten to know my husband knows that he is the class clown of the group , he is the kind of person who will help EVERYONE if he could. He thinks of others before he thinks of himself , and he has done more for his family than I could of ever imagined. We have 5 beautiful kids together and we cant imagine life without him . He is our rock, our support and so I am here to ask for help.
I need to be there not only for our children, but for him . Both sides of our families are doing the very best they can to help us in any possible, but I am also thinking of the future .
I am looking for the publics help to share our story, if anyone can donate at least a dollar, then every dollar counts !
Thank you all for your time and support ! Please share as much as you can ! Even if we don't reach our goal, anything contributed will be used for the sole purpose of financial debt and things that are absolutely needed.
