A few days ago we received the heartbreaking news that my mother, Irma Leticia Carrillo, “Lety” as she is known to most, has been diagnosed with an aggressive form of breast cancer that has spread to her lymph nodes. Time is precious. Our mother needs immediate treatment.
While this diagnosis is devastating, we are confident that she will receive the best treatment possible in Tijuana, Mexico, at Oasis of Hope. This facility integrates a holistic approach along with western medicine, and has an outstanding reputation. But, as with any top-level facility, there is a substantial cost, and our family is facing the overwhelming cost of raising over $35,000 to save our mothers life.
Lety is fifty-seven years old and has spent her life selflessly taking care of others. As a mother of three, she maintained multiple jobs to provide for her children while instilling good values. She also ensured our education and has supported our endeavors, both big and small. Lety has four beautiful grandchildren. We hope that this treatment will allow her many more years with them.
One of Letys greatest joys is being the wife to Salvador Carrillo. The two were blessed to meet later in life, fall in love, and marry in 2017. Lety and Sal stand at each other’s side as they move forward in life, but a future together can only be possible if Lety gets the life-saving treatment she needs. Unfortunately, Sal is now retired, and although this treatment gives them hope, it brings financial hardship. Our goal is to alleviate the financial burden and allow Lety and Sal to focus on her recovery.
We are asking for your financial support to help contribute towards the cost of treatment.
We are thankful for the doctors prognosis of a good outcome and they are ready to start working to heal Lety. Most of all, we are grateful for the outpouring of love and support from friends and family.
