Created by Marianna (Leonard’s niece) on behalf of Leonard and his wife Teresa Valenzuela.

Dear friends, family, and community,

We are asking for donations for my uncle Leonard Valenzuela who will be undergoing surgery this Sunday to remove a cancerous tumor in his colon. This has been an overwhelming and emotional time for Leonard and his wife Teresa. She has had to stop working in order to care of him full-time. With Leonard preparing for major surgery and facing a long recovery ahead, the medical bills and everyday living expenses are quickly adding up. Teresa’s temporary loss of income has placed an additional financial strain on them when the focus should solely be on Leonard’s health and healing.

Your donations will go directly toward:

Medical costs not covered by insurance

Post-surgery care and recovery needs

Monthly living expenses while Teresa cares for Leonard

Anything you can give—no matter how big or small—will make a meaningful difference. If you are unable to donate, please share this GoFundMe to help spread the word. Thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support during this difficult time.
