This youngman's name is Gabriel Ramos, and he's 17 years old and lives in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. I met his Father, Rony Ramos, while I was serving a mission there in Santa Cruz, Bolivia and he was so nice and helpful to the missionaries, and he still is.

Gabriel has a condition called Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) which is a serious blood disorder where the bone marrow fails to produce enough blood cells, leading to low red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts. This can result in fatigue, increased risk of infection, and easy bruising or bleeding. Treatment often involves immunosuppressive therapy or bone marrow transplantation.

For years, Brother Ramos has been providing for his family and sold many items to pay for his son's medical bills. Items sold, like his truck that he used for work and his house.

We hope that anyone with a willing heart to help can be part of this difficult journey the Ramos family is going through. Much love to everyone!
