Help Romeo Beat Cancer
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
My name is Romeo Rivera. In December of 2021, I suffered a fall and fractured my spine and was unable to work. Because of the fracture in my spine I was unable to do anything without feeling severe and constant pain. I was deconditioning at a rapid pace and had lost nearly 50lbs without trying. My family doctor decided to order a few extra diagnostic tests.
It was in March of 2022 that I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. My mind went to a dark place when I heard my diagnosis. In that moment I had lost all hope. I cried for the first time in a long time. I feared missing out on important events in my kids lives. I feared I wouldn’t be able to grow old with my wife. Due to my diagnosis and multiple underlying conditions my doctor believes I will not be able to return to work at all. All I am asking is for any amount of assistance to help me help my family pay for rent, grocery’s, transportation, medical expenses.
Anything helps! I am grateful for every day I am still alive. I sincerely thank you!
