Rallying Around Rene: Love and Hope Needed

Donation protected
My name is Carmen, I am raising funds for my brother, Rene Alvarenga. In February 2024, Rene was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic adenocarcinoma. He has undergone two rounds of chemotherapy a month, for the past two years. Through it all, he has continued to work tirelessly, despite various hospitalizations . His prognosis is now six months or less, and he is currently undergoing a more aggressive type of chemotherapy in the hope of extending his life. Any support would mean the world to Rene and his family as they navigate this incredibly difficult journey. This past weekend, Rene was hospitalized due to dangerously low blood pressure and severe ascites. At this stage he is no longer able to work, bringing financial strain to the family.
Any donations will help cover groceries, rent and in the future, funeral expenses. Supporting Rene now, allows his wife, Rosa and their son Alex, to spend precious time with him, without the added worry of financial burdens.
Rene is a wonderful father, husband, brother, and uncle, known for his optimism, humor, and deep faith. Your help would provide not just financial relief, but also love and hope during this difficult time.

Mi nombre es Carmen, estoy recaudando fondos para mi hermano, Rene Alvarenga. En febrero de 2024, René fue diagnosticado con adenocarcinoma pancreático en etapa 4. Se ha sometido a dos rondas de quimioterapia al mes durante los últimos dos años. A pesar de todo, ha seguido trabajando incansablemente, y ha incurrido en varias hospitalizaciones de emergencia. Su pronóstico es ahora de seis meses o menos, y actualmente se está sometiendo a un tipo de quimioterapia más agresiva con la esperanza de prolongar su vida.
Cualquier apoyo significaría mucho para René y su familia mientras navegan por esta situación tan difícil de su vida. El fin de semana pasado, René fue hospitalizado debido a que su presión arterial estaba peligrosamente baja y se encuentra sufriendo de una ascitis severa. En esta etapa ya no puede trabajar, lo que trae tensión financiera a la familia.
Cualquier donación ayudará a cubrir los gastos de alimentación, alquiler y, en el futuro, los gastos funerarios. Apoyar a Rene ahora, permite a su esposa, Rosa y a su hijo Alex, pasar un tiempo precioso con él, sin la preocupación adicional de las cargas financieras.
René es un maravilloso padre, esposo, hermano y tío, conocido por su optimismo, humor y Fe profunda. Su ayuda no solo proporcionaría alivio financiero, sino también amor y esperanza durante estos momentos difíciles.
