My name is Jorge Vasquez, and I am raising funds for my son, Bruce. His fight for life began long before he was born. At just 24 weeks of pregnancy, doctors discovered a tumor. From that moment on, every day became a battle filled with fear, hope, and impossible decisions. Some doctors suggested ending the pregnancy because of the risks, but for us, that was never an option. Other doctors encouraged us to keep going, reminding us that every life deserves a chance. We chose hope. We chose our son.

Bruce was born prematurely at 32 weeks in a high‑risk delivery that he was not expected to survive. But he did. He came into this world fighting with everything he had. Since the day he was born, he has never left the hospital. He has spent every moment of his life surrounded by machines, doctors, and nurses — and yet he continues to show a strength far beyond his tiny body.

The tumor has continued to grow, increasing both in size and in the danger it poses to his life. Now, he urgently needs surgery. Time is not on our side, and as his father, I need to be with him through every step of this process — before, during, and after the operation. No child should face something like this alone.

To stay by his side, I must stop working temporarily. This means I will not be able to cover our basic living expenses on my own. The funds from this campaign will help us stay stable during this critical time by covering rent, essential bills, transportation, food, and other necessary costs while I focus entirely on my son’s care.

I am doing this because no parent should have to choose between being present for their child’s life‑saving surgery and keeping a roof over their head. Your support will allow me to remain with Bruce when he needs me the most, without the fear of falling behind on the essentials we depend on.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story, for your compassion, and for standing with us during this moment of uncertainty. Every contribution — no matter the amount — brings us closer to giving Bruce the chance to heal and continue the fight he began before he was even born.
