Manny B Santiago - Every Beauty Needs Her Beast ❤️

Donation protected

Hi, I'm Pauline, Manny's wife and it's very hard to do this, but we are up against a wall. As many of you know, in May 2019 Manny was diagnosed with Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. This Life-Changing news came to us just a year and a half of us being reunited once again. Married for 17 yrs with 2 wonderful boys we had a brief lapse and realized our lives were meant for each other. We were living our best lives when I began to feel worried about a continued pain and not eating very well that we had MANY visits to the E.R he had been misdiagnosed two separate times. Fortunately, my cousin worked for two of the most respected surgeons in Tampa, Florida and asked that he be seen by them. It was then, that they saw a small tumor wrapped around his main artery and for that reason, surgery was not an option and can only be treated with Chemo therapy. He's had 2 rounds of chemo, but has not shrunk enough and now beginning radiation everyday for 6 weeks in hopes that the tumor will break off of the artey and can be removed with surgery. He has not been able to eat for several months now and currently on TPN , which is similar to a feeding tube that provides him with all the nutrition he needs to survive. This journey has taken a toll on him, and not working since his diagnosis is mentally draining him. I have tried and will continue to do my best to carry him as he has always carried US, his family, but unfortunately, this is much, much bigger then anything I can do. It's with much hesitation that I am using this platform to ask to help me, help Manny (Beast) with his continued treatments. Any donation that your hearts and homes feel comfortable with, will FOREVER ”B”GRATEFUL!!❤️ SINCERELY "A tale as old as time" Beauty & The Beast
