Join Oscar's Fight Against Cancer!

First and foremost, I want to thank each one of you for your continued support and contributions. Oscar and I have been amazed with the generosity of each of you. It’s truly been a blessing!

In recap, a few weeks ago, Oscar was hospitalized- one of the scariest moments but as always, he fought like a warrior! God continues to show his grace, mercy and promise. We wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for him.

In the upcoming months, Infusions will begin, the road ahead seems long but I know by the grace of God, Oscar will beat this. Each infusion comes with its costs, any continued support we can receive will be much appreciated.

I ask the God blesses each of you along with your families.

Sincerely, Leslie Alvarez

For the past few months my family and I have been doing our very best to deal with what seems to be a bad dream I cannot wake up from. We received devastating news as a family. My husband Oscar Alvarez was diagnosed with Astrocytoma Stage 4 Brain Cancer. My world collapsed when the Dr. was speaking, to be completely honestly I blanked out. I began to think how can I take this from my husband and what do I tell my kids? How can I protect them from this pain? and lastly, as a human, I questioned God. However, through this process, I've learned I'm no one to question God. He has a purpose and I STRONGLY believe in miracles. Every day I thank him for another day, for the Dr’s involved and the medicine we have now. I've learned I trust the same God who parted the sea, the same God who healed the lady with the issue of blood, who helped and healed the sick, the blind, the God who took Elijah out of Depression and protected Daniel in the den of Lions. Our Den of Lions are strong and fierce, but Our God is protecting us, from all the bad the dr have explained could happen during surgery none of it has, and I know that's GOD hands moving through this. As a Wife and mother, I sometimes feel helpless, I write this for your prayers, because when one or two gather we can shake the world.

Radiation and Chemotherapy have started. We're now heading into our 8th month of surviving this. We still have a long road ahead of us. We know the road will not be easy, we have good days and some bad days, but this will not define who we are and what GOD is capable of. We are strong believers in God and we know that even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we are not to fear because God is bigger than this.
