Support Carlos Chan's Fight Against Cancer
Donation protected
We know Carlos (age 31) as a guide to the spectacular cenotes of Homún, Yucatan, Mexico. He is one of the kindest, most wonderful people you will ever meet. He has a wife, Maria, and two young daughters, ages 5 and 12. Recently, he was diagnosed with stomach cancer and is presently at an oncology clinic in Merida. The cancer was diagnosed as stage 4, and since he was admitted in March, he has been bravely fighting and surviving one setback after another. The doctors found cancer in one of his kidneys and removed it. Fortunately, the other was cancer-free. Then, on May 13th, he suffered a mini-heart attack (unstable angina) but now seems to be recovering from that. The radiation therapy was completed on May 26th, and next up is a stem cell transplant and eventually stomach surgery to remove the cancer. Carlos is a direct descendant of the original Mayans from that area. In fact, his last name, Chan, is not Asian but rather Mayan and has multiple meanings in English. Carlos is a true fighter but is racking up some large medical bills, and in addition, as the sole provider, his family needs funds to pay the bills. So, please, won't you help the Chan family? Any amount helps and you can be an anonymous donor if you choose. But what helps even more is to crowdsource this request. You know people who we don't. Please send this link onward and ask your friends to do the same. There will be regular updates on Carlos' condition here. Watch your donations help save his life and support his family! Thank you.
