I’m creating this GoFundMe for my best friend of more than 30 years, Carlos Cruz. Recently, Carlos received the heartbreaking news of being diagnosed with a terrible disease that has turned his life upside down. For as long as I’ve known him, Carlos has been the most selfless and dependable friend — the kind of person who never hesitates to help, who always shows up, and who lifts others up even in their hardest moments. He has been like family to me, standing by my side through life’s ups and downs, and now it’s my turn to stand by him. No one is ever prepared for something like this, and the financial burden that comes with treatments and care is overwhelming. I’m asking from the bottom of my heart for any help you can give — whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this page. Every little bit makes a difference, and I know Carlos and his family will be forever grateful for the love and support.
