Melissa Soto Care for Her Husband Chris in his final days

Donation protected
Life can change in an instant. One moment, you’re planning for the future, and the next, you’re facing an unimaginable reality.

Chris Soto is a devoted husband, a loyal friend, and a man who has spent his life bringing laughter, love, and kindness to those around him. But today, Chris is in the final stages of his battle with stage 4 kidney cancer. The disease has spread aggressively throughout his body and into his brain. Doctors have done all they can, and now, he has been placed on hospice care at home, where his wife, Melissa, is his full-time caregiver, ensuring his last days are filled with love, dignity, and comfort.

Melissa and Chris have been married for 20 years, building a life together filled with love, adventure, and dreams for the future. They are each other’s world—their greatest source of strength and support. But now, Melissa is facing the unimaginable reality of losing the love of her life. She has taken a leave from work to be by Chris’s side during this heartbreaking time, but with medical bills piling up and everyday expenses adding to the stress, she needs our help.

No one should have to choose between being with their loved one in their final days and financial survival. As Melissa holds Chris’s hand through these final moments, she should not have to carry the weight of financial strain alone. This GoFundMe is an opportunity for us to come together and show Melissa that she is not alone—that she has a community rallying behind her, offering support, love, and financial relief so she can focus on what truly matters.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help cover medical expenses, household bills, and basic necessities while Melissa takes this time to care for Chris. More than anything, your kindness will remind her that she is surrounded by people who care.

Chris’s battle is coming to an end, but Melissa’s journey of grief and healing is just beginning. Let’s stand beside her and offer our support in this devastating time.

Please donate if you can, and if you’re unable to contribute financially, we ask that you share this fundraiser with others who may be able to help. Your generosity, prayers, and love mean the world to Melissa and those who care for Chris.

Thank you for your kindness and compassion.
