Felipe's Medical Fund

Hello my name is Felipe and I am a father of two beautiful little girls ages 8 and 12 months.  My family and I live in East Elmhurst, NY.  On November 2015 I was diagnosed with colon cancer and had to be operated right away. At that time I was stage 2B and six months after my first operation I had a metastasis reoccurence to my ganglion cells which lead me to be stage 4B. According to the doctors, I was at my terminal stage at this point. Doctors decided to give me an ilieostomy which would help my pain because the tumor was so big, an operation would not have been convenient.  
We are asking for your help to raise $100,000 as chemotherapy is a lifetime treatment for me and it is impossible for me to work at the current moment. My wife is currently working twice as much and is very helpful, however we need your help. The funds that we raise will go towards the medical and pharmaceutical bills that are highly costly. Although I have insurance, it is not enough to cover these expenses. The sooner we are able to raise this, the sooner I believe I will get better and be able to start work again. In the near future, we look forward to helping other families who are going through this same situation because we know it is not easy. My wife along with my daughters would be forever grateful to you and your family. Your time is highly appreciated. Thank you for all your help.
