Juan Carlos has been fighting a rare sarcoma cancer for the past two years — and the battle isn't over.
After going into remission from a brain tumor last year, the cancer has now spread to his right lung, requiring even more surgeries and specialist care. Through all of it, Juan Carlos has shown incredible strength, but his family — led by his stepfather Mario — is carrying an enormous financial and emotional burden.
Mario runs a small local business, Mario's Fairfix Cafe, and like many working families, they don't have the resources to keep up with the mounting medical bills, specialist costs, and the time away from work needed to be by Juan Carlos's side at the hospital.
We're asking for your help with three things:
- Medical bills and specialist costs — sarcoma treatment is intensive and expensive, especially when it spreads.
- Time with Juan Carlos — so the family can be present at the hospital without losing income.
- Financial relief — reducing the stress so the family can focus on what matters most right now: Juan Carlos.
If you can donate anything, it will make a real difference to a family going through something no family should have to face alone. Please share this page even if you can't give — it helps more than you know.
