Help 13 yr old JoJo beat his rare cancer!

On December 19th, 2022, Mercedes got the news no mother should hear. JoJo her 13 year-old son was diagnosed with a very rare cancer, Paraganglioma. It is only found in 2 out of a million people. He will need eight months of radiation and alternate treatments. He has five tumors in his lower abdomen that will need to be removed. His cancer has no cure, but is treatable with proper care throughout his life. Due to the urgency for treatment Mercedes has not been able to work and will not be able to work for the next few months. This is causing a big financial strain on the situation. We are looking to raise money for monthly expenses and co-pays and deductibles. She is a single mother of two boys who is doing this completely alone. Let’s hope JoJo and Mercedes get through this hard time so he can get back to karate, writing songs, playing the piano and getting Valentines for every girl in his class so they all feel loved. He has a big heart of gold and really needs our help.
