Hello family, friends and strangers!

This is Elona Canaj and I am here to ask for your thoughts, prayers and financial support for my friend Sergio Lopez and his beautiful family.

On Sept 16th 2021, Sergio was diagnosed with stage IV kidney cancer with metastasis in liver and ribs. The medical team advised to start imunotherapy as soon as possible. Sergio got the first session 2 weeks after the diagonis, but unfortunately, his illness has only aggravated since then. The medical team discharged him from the hospital and sent him home on Monday Oct 27th with no hope to treat him anymore. He's staying at his home in Chicago with unbearable pain, among his wife, two kids and family members.

Sergio is 48 years old, married to Elona Karriqi Lopez for 7 years. They currently live in Riverside Chicago, Illinois and have the most adorable kids Joel and Jes, 5 and 3 years old.

Sergio is a wonderful father to his kids, loving husband to Elona, a hard working colleauge and the most kind and generous friend. They had the perfect love and the perfect family like in the picture of the fundraiser. It was all perfect till life hit them hard and unkindly.

Sergio has been the bread maker of the family, while Elona took care of the kids.

Elona Karriqi Lopez is from Perrenjaz, Albania and moved in the States to build her dream life with Sergio, a dream shattered to pieces now. She has no family or close friends around in the States and has been going through the hardest time of her life away from her family and friends.

If you'd like to help Elona, Sergio and their family with a generous donation, they would really appreciate it.

Any amount small or big will help them take care of medical bills, mortgage, child care and house bills.

If you can't help, please hold Sergio and his family in your thoughts and hearts, sending prayers, support and love to them. We'll make sure to read your comments to him to cheer him up and give him strength.

Finally, please don't forget to share the link of the fundraiser with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and strangers.

On behalf of Elona Karriqi and Sergio Lopez:

Thank you for your generous donations!

Bless your kind hearts!

Stay well!

Pershendetje familjare, miq dhe te panjohur!

Une jam Elona Canaj dhe po ju shkruaj te kerkoj lutjet, mendimet dhe ndihmen tuaj per mikun tim Sergio Lopez.

Ne 16 shtator 2021, Sergio u diagnostikua me kancer te stadit te katert ne veshke me metastaze ne melci dhe brinje. Stafi i tij mjekesor e nenshtruan nje sere analizash dhe keshilluan te niste immunoterapine.

Sergio perfundoi seancen e pare te terapise, por fatkeqesisht nuk pati asnje permiresim dhe per me teper semundja e tij eshte agravuar. Mjeku onkolog i ceshtjes sugjeroi qe Sergio te dilte nga spitali dje ne daten 27 tetor pa patur me shpresa per sherim. Ai po qendron ne shtepine e tij mes dhimbjes te paperballueshme prane bashkeshortes, femijeve dhe familjareve.

Sergio eshte vetem 48 vjec dhe eshte i martuar me Elona Karriqi Lopez prej 7 vitesh. Ata jetojne ne Riverside, Chicago, Illinois dhe kane 2 femije te adhurueshem Joel 5 vjec dhe Jes 3 vjec. Sergio eshte nje baba shembullor, bashkeshort i dedikuar dhe i dashur per Elonen, nje mik bujar dhe me zemer te madhe.

Ai ka punuar per te mbajtur familjen nderkohe qe Elona kujdesej per femijet e vegjel, duke qene se cerdhja dhe kopeshti jane shume te kushtueshme ne USA.

Elona Karriqi Lopez eshte nga Perrenjaz, Shqiperi dhe u zhvendos ne Shtetet e Bashkuara per te nisur jeten e enderrave me Sergion, nje enderr qe tani eshte e thyer ne mijera copeza. Elona nuk ka asnje familjar dhe shoqeri prane ketu ne USA, dhe eshte duke jetuar ditet e saj me te veshtira larg familjes dhe miqve.

Nese keni mundesi te ndihmoni Sergion dhe Elonen, do t'ju ishin shume mirenjohes. Cfaredo ndihme,e vogel apo e madhe, do te mbeshtesi Elonen dhe Sergion per te paguar kestet e shtepise, faturat mjekesore, kopeshtin e femijeve dhe te tjera fatura shtepiake.

Nese nuk mundeni te ndihmoni financiarisht ju lutemi te ndani linkun dhe postin me kedo ne rrethet tuaja shoqerore, familjare.

Ne emer te Elona Karriqi dhe Sergio Lopez:

Ju falenderojme nga zemra per cdo kontribut te dhene!

Te bekuara qofshin zemrat tuaja bujare!

Paci vetem shendet dhe te mira ne familjet tuaja!
