help my old man and support our family

Hey everyone,
I’m reaching out to share something really important about my grandpa, Rafael. He’s 74 and has been the backbone of our family, working full-time up until March of this year. He’s always been the main provider and has done so much for us. Over 20 years ago, my grandfather immigrated from Cuba to the US and has worked incredibly hard ever since. Everything we have is thanks to his dedication and perseverance. This makes it especially difficult for us to ask for help now, but we really need your support.
At the end of March, he started having trouble breathing and was in a lot of pain. In April, we got the heartbreaking news that he has stage four cancer. This has hit our family really hard. We all love him so much, and seeing him go through this is incredibly tough.
To me, he’s always been like a father.. always there with love and support. Growing up with a single mother never felt lonely with his presence. His strength and kindness have meant everything to me.
He is so much more than a grandfather, he’s my hero.
Now, because of his condition, he can’t work and is undergoing chemotherapy. Without his income, we’re struggling to pay rent and cover basic expenses, not to mention the huge medical bills. We are afraid that the debt may become so large that he will no longer be able to receive treatment. The financial strain is really overwhelming. We’ve set up this GoFundMe to help cover his medical costs that insurance doesn’t fully cover, like hospital bills, medications, treatments, and home care. We also need help with his rent and other living expenses while we get through this.
Any donation, no matter how small, would make a huge difference in making sure he gets the care he needs and keeping our family afloat. If you can’t donate, we totally understand. Even just sharing this campaign with your friends and family would mean a lot to us.
Thank you so much for your kindness and support during this tough time. We appreciate any help you can offer.
