Phoenix CRE Professionals for Anna
Donation protected
Four weeks ago, our close friends, Ted and Mindi Ortega, learned that their 10 year old daughter, Anna, had two brain tumors. One was successfully removed thanks to the team at Phoenix Children's Hospital but the other, located in proximity to her brain stem, is inoperable. The oncologists told Ted and Mindi that Anna has less than a year to live and recommended a nearby hospice.
Ted and Mindi, however, are fighters--just as any of us would be given the circumstances--and found a clinic in Houston, Texas that is successfully treating this type of cancer. Recognizing the opportunity, Ted and Mindi packed their bags and moved their family from Gilbert, AZ to Houston where they will be for the next two months while Anna receives treatment.
The Ortega's are currently living in a hotel, trying to pass the time by creating meaningful family experiences in their hotel room. Mindi mentioned in an Instagram post yesterday that she's trying to find a home to rent with a yard where their children can play get some fresh air.
To that end, I've started a gofundme page with the goal of raising $5,000 by this Sunday (April 30th), which will help subsidize the cost of two months of living expenses for the Ortega's.
Phoenix's commercial real estate professionals are known for their generosity, and there's no question that you're already doing much good in the community. If you watch the video above and it speaks to you, I hope you'll join me in supporting Anna and the Ortega's. Your contribution of any size will make a difference.
Those of us who love Anna are choosing to believe that a miracle is possible, but regardless of the outcome, the experiences they share as a family during the next two months will stay with them forever. Thank you for helping enable a place where those memories can be made.
