Help me be here for my Family

Help Me Fight a Tumor at the Base of My Skull

Hi, my name is Neto Ybarra, and I'm reaching out with a heavy heart and a hopeful spirit. I recently found out that I have a tumor located under the base of my skull, and it's been drastically affecting my health and daily life.

Every morning, I wake up in pain and unable to hear out of my left ear. Sudden movements leave me dizzy, lightheaded, and disoriented. Sometimes my vision blurs, and simple moments like playing with my kids are cut short because I feel like I’m going to pass out. It’s heartbreaking not being able to be fully present with them, especially when all I want is to enjoy those precious moments.

On top of the physical pain, I carry a deep sense of disappointment in myself. I used to work hard, provide for my family, and take pride in my strength — but now, I’m unable to work the way I used to. Not being able to support my loved ones the way I want to has been one of the hardest parts of this journey.

I’m trying to raise $5,000 to cover the cost of seeing a neurology specialist and undergoing the necessary tests, appointments, and surgery to remove the tumor. Right now, the financial burden is too heavy for me to carry on my own, and I’m in urgent need of help to move forward with treatment.

This tumor is not just affecting my body — it’s taking a toll on my spirit, my ability to be there for my family, and my quality of life. I know times are hard for everyone, but any donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to healing and getting back to the life I love.

If you can’t donate, sharing this with others means just as much to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading, supporting, and caring. Your kindness gives me strength.

With love and gratitude,

Neto Ybarra
