Hi Friends and Family,

I am reaching out to kindly ask for a donation of any amount so that we may help our co-worker and great friend in these times of need. On Wednesday we were informed that Raphael’s father had suffer a stroke and has now been diagnosed with a brain tumor. On Thursday we were also informed Raphael’s uncle had passed away from Lung Cancer. We understand these times are definitely hard and it only gets worse when they leave behind a family. Raphael’s father is an awesome father of two and is a San Francisco resident. Our coworker is his oldest son, who is currently the only breadwinner in the family. Due to the unforeseen circumstances he has had to take an unpaid leave from work to care for his mother and brother while his father is in the hospital. Raphael is a cancer survivor himself so we can only imagine what the family is feeling having to go through it for the third time. We understand that with any illness come big medical expenses and even worse the cost of living and other bills doesn’t stop. All of which can be stressful! We are trying to help him and his family out the best that we can however we do ask for your donations to meet our goal. Any amount will be highly appreciate!

Thank you!
