Hi, my name is Ricardo, and I’m facing the fight of my life — again.

I’ve recently found out that I will be fighting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma for the third time. After beating cancer twice before, I never imagined I’d be here again, preparing for another round of treatment, another round of hospital visits, and another test of faith, strength, and resilience.

Each battle has taken a toll — physically, emotionally, and financially. The treatments, medications, and time away from work have added up over the years. This will be the second round of chemotherapy treatment, and while I’m determined to stay strong and keep fighting, the financial strain is overwhelming.

Nicole and I are asking for help to cover medical expenses, travel costs for treatment, and the everyday essentials that have become difficult to manage while focusing on healing. Every donation, big or small, brings me one step closer to recovery and gives me the strength to keep fighting for me and my family.

To everyone who’s supported me before — thank you. Your prayers, love, and kindness have carried me through more than you know. And to anyone new to my story, thank you for taking the time to read this and stand with me in this fight.

I believe that with faith, hope, and community, I can beat this one more time.

My family and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

— Ricardo, Nicole, and Colette
