My brother, Anthony, is truly one of a kind. He has the biggest heart, a bright spirit, and a smile that could lift anyone's day. Anthony loves everyone like there is no tomorrow, he gives without hesitation, laughs with his whole soul and always puts himself before others.

Anthony is a devoted father to his son, Ryan, who absolutely adores him. They share such a special bond. Ryan's face lights up whenever Anthony walks in the room. He's also a deeply loved son, brother and friend. Our parents worry endlessly about him and I love him more than words can say.

He's the kind of person who brings joy everywhere he goes. He loves Pokémon, making people laugh and spending time with friends and family. Anthony's humor, kindness and warmth have touched everyone who knows him.

Right now Anthony is in the hospital battling sever liver failure. His Kidneys are still holding strong, which gives us some hope, but his liver is failing and everyday is a fight. The doctors are doing everything they can, and we are standing by his side every step of the way, keeping faith and praying for healing and strength.

We're creating this GoFundMe to help cover medical bills, hospital costs and support Anthony and out family through this heartbreaking and uncertain time. We want to focus on keeping him comfortable, cared for. and surrounded by love, without the added stress of financial burdens.

If you can donate, share or even send a prayer, it would mean the world to us. Every act of kindness helps, and every but of support reminds Anthony how loved and cherished he is.

From the bottom of our hearts, Thank you for helping us fight with and for Anthony, a father, a son, friend, my best brother, and truly one of the most beautiful souls we know.

With endless love and gratitude, The Rivera Family.
