Help the Bellizzis in their fight with Cancer

Ricardo was diagnosed with renal (kidney) cancer four years and two months ago. Unfortunately, at the time of discovery it was already at a stage 4, and had metastasized (spread to his bones, thus the rest of his body), since then my family ( my mother Analia always by his side) has been battling with this illness without give, discovering new tumors and trying new treatments.

On thanksgiving day, after trying all the possible treatments, including one last experimental drug, Ricardo was called into the hospital for an emergency spinal surgery, one of the tumors in his spine had grown to a size said to leave him paralyzed. He underwent emergency spinal surgery. He was recovering when he started feeling ill with strange symptoms. Since then, he has been in the hospital, my mom by his side every moment she could.

The doctors were not able to figure out what exactly was causing these until they found another tumor in his brain. The doctors tried to figure out any way they could to help him and after a month and a half in the hospital they told us that He will continue treatment. This go fund me is to help raise money to cover some of the costs so that my mom can go to work knowing that he is being looked after. It is also to cover 4 years’ worth of outstanding hospital bills, and multiple surgeries during his treatment. 

Anything helps, even sharing.

We are asking that you please give Ricardo privacy during this time. Please do not reach out to him directly with your messages. If you would like to chat with him please reach out to Analia directly. 

Thank you so much in advance.
