I have started this GoFundMe for Yako to give back for the countless times he has been there for my family and me. I met him first as my tennis instructor, but soon after he became part of the family as he babysat and took care of my brother and me. This GoFundMe is a small way for us to help him out through this hard time; below is his story.

English version:

I am going through a difficult time with my health: I have been diagnosed with cancer (Hodgkin's lymphoma, stage 3). I am starting the whole treatment process and, although I am still fighting and working a few hours a week, despite the chemotherapy being very strong, this situation has also hit me financially.

I have never liked asking for help; I have always been one to solve problems by working, but I have now accepted and understood that I need support right now to get through this stage without everything falling apart.

If you can, want to, or are able to help me, I would really appreciate it, and if you can't, I understand.

Any contribution helps a lot. And if you can't, sharing this also helps a lot.

Thank you for reading and for being there. Really. ❤️

Spanish version:

Estoy atravesando un momento de salud complicado: me diagnosticaron cáncer (linfoma de Hodgkin, estadio 3). Estoy empezando todo el proceso de tratamiento y, aunque sigo luchando y trabajando algunas horas a la semana a pesar de que la quimioterapia es muy fuerte este momento me ha golpeado también a nivel económico.

Nunca me ha gustado pedir ayuda, siempre he sido de resolver trabajando, pero ya he aceptado y entendido que ahora mismo necesito apoyo para poder sostener esta etapa sin que todo se venga abajo.

Si me me puedes, quieres o esta dentro de tus posibilidades ayudarme de verdad que lo agradecería muchísimo y si no puedes tranqui lo entenderé.

Cualquier aporte suma muchísimo. Y si no puedes, compartirlo también ayuda y mucho.

Gracias por leerme y por estar. De verdad. ❤️
