Help Alex Fight Tongue Cancer and Be a Dad

Donation protected
This is Alex, a hard working entrepreneur, who after 7 years of trying, became a first time dad with his gf Olivia in Oct 2024 thanks to IVF treatment. That same month his baby boy was born, he was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma in his tongue. Cancer. At first it started off as some pain in his mouth, after several months and doctor visits it was confirmed to be stage two cancer.
He has been through radiation and 3 rounds of chemotherapy. The cancer is on his tongue and after treatment the top of his tongue became cancer free. Unfortunately there has been residual tumors coming from deep nerves on his tongue. The location of the tumors has caused him severe pain and has not allowed him to eat, sleep, speak, and unable to work.

for months Alex has struggled with the pain and has not been able to enjoy the wonders of fatherhood.
Alex is the sole provider for his family and hasn’t been able to work due to his pain. Alex is a family man, he’s been working and supporting his family since he was 14. He is generous and kind and while motivating himself, motivates those around him to be their very best self. He’s got the fighting spirit.
We’re raising this money on his behalf in order to save his tongue and receive treatment from a cancer center in Irvine.


At this time, his doctors say he is likely stage 3. Alex hopes to be able to recover from his cancer without losing his tongue and his ability to speak to his new baby boy.
Right now we ask for your help. We want to surround him with the same love and support he’s given to his family and community. He’s an “All in” kind of guy so please help us go All in for Alex. Any donation, big or small, goes towards making sure he’s able to focus on healing and pain relief. With a new baby in the house, it’s vital Alex and his family feel stress free in order to give him the best chance to recover. If you’d like to see how else you can help please feel free to contact me, Mateo his nephew or Jasmine his niece. Si desea ayudar de otras maneras, comuníquese con Verónica.
if you’d like to send him a message directly, text is preferred as speaking causes him excruciating pain.
