Dad’s Final Journey

The man, the myth, the legend-our Dad Joe Baez; the one we thought would live for ever and would never succumb to sickness has recently been diagnosed with advanced Stage 4 colon cancer. It has spread rapidly to his liver and lungs giving him less than two months to live. Although we believe in God the Almighty and the gift of miracles, we know from what the doctors have told us and his current condition that he does not have very long to live. He is at the end of his final journey. 

Because of Dad’s situation, he was unable to come to the US so that we could take care of him properly. Therefore, we have had to make weekly trips to
Mexico to care for him. His family in Mexico, along with others from the US, have also visited him, made donations, and sent us their prayers. There has been an outpouring of support from everyone who new him.

We we’re not planning on creating a Go-fund me account as we thought with all the support we had already received, we could manage. But the truth is we still need additional support for the remaining time he has left and for the expenses after he goes on to be with the Lord. In addition, both my brother and I have exhausted all of our leave at work and had to take family emergency leave, which means we will not be getting our full salaries from work, if any while we are in Mexico. It’s hard asking for help, especially from someone like myself who would rather suffer. But I realize it is best for my Dad and those caring for him. 

If if you have already donated money or helped out in any way shape or form I want to say THANK YOU! I do not expect you to donate anything to this account. And those who will, we will forever be grateful! The donations will cover any future medical expenses, medicine, hotel stays, travel expenses, and expenses after he passes. At the moment we have my Dad in a hotel in México. His home was not suitable for living much less caring for a sick person. So we are paying a weekly rate at a hotel so that he can rest comfortably. If God puts it in your heart to donate, anything will help! 

Thank you you all from the Baez sons and his family!
