Support Angelica’s Medical Expenses

NEW Update:

Jonathan’s family is very much in need of support and prayers. His wife, Angelica was diagnosed with Philadelphia Chromosome Positive “ALL”- Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Angelica and Jonathan have 3 young children ages 10, 9 and 5. Angelica recently turned 27 years old while in the hospital. Her next phase of treatments will be very aggressive. She will have a port put in for ongoing chemotherapy and they will be doing radiation on her bones, along with 10 spinal fluid chemotherapy injections, chemotherapy pills, followed by a complete stem cell transplant.

She will require 24 hours a day in-home care, travel expenses to and from the hospital, as well as childcare. We are asking for prayers from everyone. It is extremely important and powerful. Our family would also like to ask that you open hearts and consider donating to this very important cause. If you are more comfortable, you can Zelle donations directly to Jonathan Lelis.

May God Bless You All For Blessing Others.

On July 26th, after months of periodic and random illness and multiple hospital visits, Angelica was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL).

Angelica is currently hospitalized and receiving treatment at Loma Linda Hospital, where she will remain for a minimum of a month until she is more stable. While in the hospital, Angelica has received multiple blood transfusions due to low platelet count and at times, is dealing with extreme amounts of pain. She is currently undergoing three different types of chemotherapy via pill, intravenous and intrathecal (chemotherapy delivered into your cerebrospinal fluid).

Once Angelica is released from the hospital she will need travel to receive ongoing treatment to fight this cancer into remission and live a long, healthy life.

To do that, we are asking for help for the Lelis Family.

Angelica and Jonathan have three children, Joel, Ariel and Isabella. As you can imagine, this has been extremely difficult on the entire family. Not only is the news devastating and hard to process, but many other factors complicate the situation.

Loma Linda Hospital is 90 minutes one way from their home and it is going to take a lot in time and gas, traveling to and from the hospital. Jonathan also ran out of annual leave and sick leave with his employer, while caring for their children as well as Angelica. Going forward, any time off work is going to be unpaid.

He is trying to work as much as possible to stay afloat, but also needing to care for the children and be a support system to Angelica. With all three kids back in school, this is a lot for Jonathan to handle alone and they live almost 2 hours from the nearest family member.

Angelica needs to put all of her energy and focus into gaining strength and fighting this battle and does not need the added stress of worrying about her family being able to afford the cost of living and treatment.

Angelica and her family will need all the help and support they can get throughout this journey.

Please help in any way you can and spread the word. All donations will be used to help with Angelica's medical bills, expenses for various treatments, and transportation costs. Donations will also help with any bills due to missed work while Jonathan helps care for his wife and children.

Any amount helps and I know Jonathan and Angelica appreciate the love and support from every single one of you. Thank you for all the continued prayers.
