Help a great friend to many

My best friend Saul Alvarez is going through the worst time of his life.  Being the humble person that he is, he never wanted to bother anyone with his problems, but I see no choice but to ask all of you; friends, colleagues, etc. to please help this cause.


He got diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his right kidney a while back.  He went through three (3) difficult chemo therapy sessions and experienced a short lived remission, but the tumor had returned in November even worse than before.  By now, he has exhausted all of his assets including his house to try to find a cure.  As he’s now trying to save his kidney through immunotherapy, his 77-year-old mother, as she's been fighting an ongoing battle with lupus, just recently went into sepsis shock from a complication from a previous surgery which almost killed her.

With all of this going on, he has had the most difficult time to say the least to be able to earn any money to support himself. Health insurance is covering some portions of the treatments, but the medical expenses along with the personal expenses are now truly overwhelming. The money donated to this campaign will be used to pay for any out-of-pocket expenses not covered by insurance as well as cost-of-living expenses while he’s undergoing his treatment and overseeing his mother’s ailing health.

He’s been there for many (including me) so, with your outpouring of support, this will give him the strength to come out of this dark cloud finally and forge ahead with his life.
