Hello, I’m Joshep Rico, a 26-year-old doctor who has dedicated my life to helping others. But today, I find myself in the most important fight of my life — against non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a battle that began with intensive chemotherapy and has now brought me to a critical crossroads. To move forward, I urgently need a bone marrow transplant.

This essential procedure is not available in my country, so I need to travel to Colombia on December 2024 for the transplant. The treatment costs are overwhelming, around $120,000, and without it, my chances of recovery are severely limited. Together with family, friends, and colleagues, we have launched the #Now4Rico campaign to help make this life-saving journey possible.

Becoming a neurosurgeon is my dream. I've always wanted to dedicate my life to saving others, to bring hope where it's needed most. Now, I need that hope and support to continue toward that goal.

Every message, every gesture of support, and every donation brings me closer to a chance at life — and at fulfilling my purpose to help others heal. I am endlessly grateful to everyone who joins me in this cause. For those who want to follow my journey or show support, please visit my Instagram: josephrico_Together, I believe we can make it happen.
