Hello, I'm Carmen. I'm fundraising for Wilson Josue Rodriguez and his 6 yr old autistic son, Derek... Here's what he asked me to translate for him...
Hello and blessings to all. My wife, Charelis, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. After years of treatments, multiple surgeries, and traumatic chemotherapy, we learned that the cancer had spread to her brain and was no longer treatable. My loving wife and mother to our 6 year old, autistic son, succumbed to her illness on March 26, 2024. I have not been able to work since September of last year, as we have no family in the area to help us, and I needed to take care of my wife and our son Derek. Derek requires constant medical attention and therapy. As of now, I still cannot return to work because I'm the only one here for my son. Asking for help is difficult but my son and I really need it at this time and we'd truly appreciate any help possible during this difficult time. I will be downsizing our housing to lower living costs, as I cannot afford the rent and utilities. I'm adjusting to life without my wife. It's all very new but I will eventually get back on track. We could really use help at this moment. Thank You in advance. God bless you.
