Valentin Medina is my uncle, I am creating this GoFundMe for the benefit of his wife, kids and grandchildren; so that they can lay him to rest gracefully when his time comes. Valentin has been fighting stomach cancer for over a year now. We have been praying diligently for his recovery but unfortunately, the current state of his health is extremely poor. He is no longer eating any food and is barely drinking a capful of water per day. He is now in hospice care and is sadly losing his battle against cancer. It is truly heartbreaking to see him in this condition, he has lost a massive amount of weight and is now quite literally skin and bones. His condition is heartbreaking to all of us who love and care for him. Although his body is giving out, his mind is still very alert and he is aware of his surroundings. He is in constant pain and is unsettled at the thought of leaving his family in financial distress. His wife has been caring for him around the clock, while she also maintains the household to the best of her ability. She is not currently working and Valentin is extremely worried about the uncertainty of her financial future. It is now the harsh reality that we must start making funeral arrangements, and I would like nothing more than to let my uncle know that his funeral has been taken care of. I know this will provide him with much-needed comfort during his final days. Hospice has informed us that his time is extremely limited at this point. If you can contribute to help with his funeral expenses, we will be eternally grateful. We understand that these are difficult economic times for all, and we are grateful for any contribution to help ease the financial burden on his family. All funds will go directly towards his funeral and if anything is left over it will be used to maintain his household in his absence. Additionally, there are medical bills that remain unpaid. His family also welcomes your prayers, please take a moment to pray for his soul and to pray that God grants him peace. Please pray for everyone that is suffering from this horrible disease. May God bless you all with good health, this diagnosis came as a shock and a reminder that life is so very fragile. Thank you for your time.

Valentin Medina es mi tío, estoy creando este GoFundMe para el beneficio de su esposa, hijos y nietos; para que puedan ponerlo a descansar con gracia cuando llegue su hora. Valentin ha estado luchando contra el cáncer del estómago durante más de un año. Hemos estado orando diligentemente por su recuperación, pero desafortunadamente, el estado actual de su salud es extremadamente pobre. Ya no come ningún alimento y apenas bebe un tapón de agua al día. Ahora está en cuidados paliativos y lamentablemente está perdiendo su batalla contra el cáncer. Es realmente desgarrador verlo en esta condición, ha perdido una gran cantidad de peso y ahora es literalmente piel y huesos. Su condición es desgarradora para todos los que lo amamos y lo estimamos. Aunque su cuerpo está cediendo, su mente todavía está muy alerta y es consciente de su entorno. Sufre un dolor constante y le inquieta la idea de dejar a su familia en apuros económicos. Su esposa ha estado cuidando de él las 24 horas del día, mientras que ella también mantiene la casa lo mejor que puede. Actualmente no está trabajando y Valentin está extremadamente preocupado por la incertidumbre de su futuro financiero. Ahora es la dura realidad que debemos comenzar a hacer arreglos funerarios, y nada me gustaría más que dejarle saber a mi tío que su funeral ha sido atendido para que el ya no sufra y descanse en paz. Sé que esto le proporcionará el consuelo que tanto necesita durante sus últimos días. Hospice nos ha informado que su tiempo con nosotros es extremadamente limitado. Si pueden contribuir para ayudar con los gastos de su funeral, estaremos eternamente agradecidos. Entendemos que estos son tiempos económicos difíciles para todos, y estamos agradecidos por cualquier contribución para ayudar a aliviar la carga financiera de su familia. Todos los fondos se destinarán directamente a su funeral y, si queda algo, se utilizará para mantener su hogar en su ausencia. Además, hay facturas médicas que siguen sin pagar. Su familia también agradece sus oraciones, por favor tome un momento para orar por su alma y orar para que Dios le conceda la paz. Por favor, oren por todos los que sufren de esta horrible enfermedad. Que Dios los bendiga a todos con buena salud, este diagnóstico fue un shock y un recordatorio de que la vida es muy frágil. Gracias por su tiempo.
