Dear friends and family,

As many of you know, our dear friend Francisco "Panchito" Contreras is currently in the hospital battling his third and most intense multiple sclerosis (MS) flare-up. He has been hospitalized for 7 days, undergoing numerous procedures, and is currently beginning plasmapheresis, also known as a plasma exchange. Francisco has a long road ahead of him, and we are reaching out to ask for your help.

We understand that many of you would like to visit Francisco, but for now, it's best that he receives as much rest as possible. However, your support is still crucial. Whether it's through sharing his story, keeping him in your thoughts and prayers, or contributing to his medical bills, every little bit helps.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in supporting Francisco during this challenging time. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference, and we are truly grateful for any help you can provide.

Thank you for standing with us and showing your support for Francisco. Together, we can help him through this difficult period and ensure that he knows he's not alone.

With heartfelt thanks,

[Panchito's loved ones]
