My name is Ashley Ruth, and I am fundraising for a dear friend a co-worker, Shalenie. Her husband, Rolando, has just been diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer at the age of 39. Rolando went on a visit to Mexico to see his family who he had not been able to visit in over 20 years. While on this visit, he became very ill. Rolando was rushed to the doctor where he found out the devastating news about the probable cancer diagnosis. Shalenie had to take an emergency flight from Norfolk to Mexico for his procedure to find out more detailed information about the cancer. This is where she remains by his side.

Due to expenditures with travel and the medical system being greatly different in another country, Shalenie and her family are running out of funds quickly to continue his medical and radiation treatment. Every little bit helps as they get Rolando to a better spot to be able to come back home here to Norfolk. All support is greatly appreciated.
