<div>Urgent. Deadline 12/10/2025 Help My Son Angel Finish His Fight Against Cancer
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Ana, and I am reaching out as a mother who is scared, exhausted, and holding on to hope for her child.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Three weeks before his 18th birthday, my son Angel Montano was diagnosed with an aggressive but curable cancer called Germ Cell Tumor Mediastinum. In the moment we heard those words, our entire world changed. Instead of planning his future, Angel has been fighting for it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Angel has already gone through months of intense chemotherapy, while being in cardio vascular ICU and it worked better than we could have prayed for. His tumor is now necrotic, and the next step is to have it surgically removed so he can finally move forward cancer-free.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is where our biggest challenge began.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The tumor sits deep in his chest, and the surgery required is a high-risk thoracic procedure. Every specialist in our state has told us they cannot safely perform it. Angel is now being referred out of state to MD Anderson in Indianapolis, Indiana, one of the only places willing and able to take on his case.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Because it is out of state, this makes the surgery out of network, and the costs suddenly became out of pocket. Travel, consultations, the surgical team, hospital stay, recovery — it has all grown beyond anything we can manage alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I am a mother who will do anything for her child. I have watched Angel fight with courage no teenager should ever have to show. He has done everything asked of him. He made it through chemotherapy. He stayed strong when he was scared. He never stopped believing he could beat this.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Now we need help to get him to the finish line.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please touch your heart and consider donating.
</div>
<div>Any amount — truly any — is a step toward Angel’s recovery. If you can’t donate, please share his story. Your kindness brings us closer to giving Angel the healthy future he has fought so hard for.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From a desperate mother praying for a miracle,
</div>
<div>Thank you
</div>
<div>Venmo @Ana-Elizabeth-4

<div>Recaudar para diciembre 10 2025 para su cirugía.
</div>
<div>Ayudemos a mi hijo Ángel a ganar su batalla contra el cáncer
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Me llamo Ana y les escribo como madre asustada, agotada y aferrada a la esperanza por mi hijo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tres semanas antes de cumplir 18 años, a mi hijo Ángel Montano le diagnosticaron un cáncer agresivo, pero curable, llamado tumor de células germinales del mediastino. En el momento en que escuchamos esas palabras, nuestro mundo entero cambió. En lugar de planear su futuro, Ángel ha estado luchando por él.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ángel ya ha pasado por meses de internado quimioterapia intensiva, y funcionó mejor de lo que hubiéramos podido imaginar. Su tumor ahora está necrótico, y el siguiente paso es extirparlo quirúrgicamente para que finalmente pueda seguir adelante libre de cáncer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aquí comenzó nuestro mayor desafío.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El tumor se encuentra en lo profundo de su pecho, y la cirugía necesaria es un procedimiento torácico de alto riesgo. Todos los especialistas de nuestro estado nos han dicho que no pueden realizarla de forma segura. Ahora, Ángel está siendo derivado a MD Anderson en Indianápolis, Indiana, uno de los pocos lugares dispuestos y capacitados para tratar su caso.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Debido a que se encuentra fuera del estado, la cirugía no está cubierta por su seguro médico, y los costos de repente corrieron por nuestra cuenta. Viajes, consultas, el equipo quirúrgico, la hospitalización, la recuperación… todo se ha vuelto inmanejable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Soy una madre que haría cualquier cosa por su hijo. He visto a Angel luchar con una valentía que ningún adolescente debería tener que demostrar. Ha hecho todo lo que se le ha pedido. Superó la quimioterapia. Se mantuvo fuerte cuando tenía miedo. Nunca dejó de creer que podía vencer esto.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ahora necesitamos ayuda para que llegue al final victoriosamente. Por favor, conmuevan su corazón y consideren hacer una donación. Cualquier cantidad, de verdad, cualquiera, es un paso más hacia la recuperación de Angel.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Si no pueden donar, por favor compartan su historia. Su generosidad nos acerca a darle a Angel el futuro saludable por el que tanto ha luchado.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>De una madre desesperada que ruega por un milagro,
</div>
<div> Gracias.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Venmo @Ana-Elizabeth-4
</div>
