As a relapse patient to Acute Myeloid Leukemia, being treated with multiple chemotherapies for Bone Marrow Transplant. I regret asking for yet another favor of support as my family has already received much help. 

We have received endless support thru continued thought, and prayer which is most appreciated.

beginning with my original diagnosis of AML a few years ago… Support for the family while I was being treated in hospitals for months at a time in multiple hospitals in Southern California. Including food to the door, and meal trains. Support from neighbors and friends to pick up, drop off our girls when we were not able to. Keeping the girls busy and heads out of the stressful reality of the situation. More recently this relapse, fulfillment of Amazon wish list wants and needs in hopes of avoiding asking for financial help again. Much support financially at my first diagnosis. Thanks to my best friend Arnold taking care of setting up the original Gofundme a few years ago while my family was taking care of me during induced comma for emergency brain surgery.

It’s hard to stand up and ask for more help. As a Mexican raised Catholic, my parents always told me to never ask for money. Money is not something necessary to live a fulfilled life. Asking for help is not in our DNA.

My family and I are now the caregivers of my aging parents who have recently moved in to our smaller home in different neighborhood. 

My last stint and many support groups in the United States of America has reprogrammed and allowed me to accept putting my head up while learning how to ask for help when absolutely necessary. Something I never knew was so important in time of need.

we tried our best with the experience and time that we were alotted, to only ask for items to make our journey a little more tolerable. Which was extremely helpful. I wish we could tell exactly who everything is from as Amazon does not identify origin of order. Some we were able to figure out. Please come forward if any of the other gifts were sent from you as we would love to personally thank you via any form of communication. My wife Kim and I, worked everyday as quickly as we could to get all paperwork for disability, social security, and medical work insurance figured out from day one of knowledge of relapse a little over a month ago.

As of today, finally getting off the phone with all government entities and still working with insurance and employment third party companies to collaborate. We have received the news that during the government shut down it will take about another month to hear status of aceptance which will then take up to another month to actually receive any type of compensation. Fortunately already getting some disability from the state!

I truly thought I had all my ducks in a row this time, and was not going to need to ask for financial help at all.

we have been doing well up to this point. I thought the process would have been a little faster.

we are soon to be falling behind on some of our commitments if I don't act fast.

As a father and husband I carry the pride and burden, like most bread winners do, to keep the household afloat without showing or passing any stress to others. That is a bit inevitable at this point as I have never been or am the best at planning financially. That I will always admit besides investing in a 401k and life insurance.

Anyway, there are many more ways I can explain and or ask but none of them take away the reality of our situation.

you can believe me or not but all I can pitch is that I will continue to be what inspiration I can be to show humanity that Loving everyone always unconditionally, practicing foreignness is what our universe needs most.

As a child athlete constantly trying to fundraise. As a salesperson currently and professionally. I have always been the one to support you, you’re friends, family, children in whatever little donation, candy bar, popcorn, cookies, magazine, wrapping paper, medical emergency, whatever. If you ask as a friend I will continue to support even if it’s just $5 dollars I will throw it in the pot. I hand my daughter’s at least a buck to throw in the bucket to any human on the corner trying to make people enjoy their walk along the sidewalk working thru art or music. To me, it’s important. If I don’t have a buck on me, if I just can’t swing it at the time. Okay, it doesn’t happen. I’ll make it up to the next.

I am not asking anyone that has already supported me and my family thru the first diagnosis which was much tougher than this second to feel obligated to do so again. Nor anyone who has already sent help any which way to throw down any more for us. That just wouldn’t feel right. You have all already been generous enough. I love you all whether you did or not. I know your love is grand anyway.

Please do not over donate! I am only trying to make our situation a little more manageable for a month or two. No matter what, me and my family will be okay with what we have.

If you can find an unneeded $5-$20 to donate to my Gofundme, we would be more than fine. Of course just as grateful.

Of course much thanks to all the intelligent surgeons and doctors who dedicated their time and lives to learn how to treat and heal the rest of us.

Thank you to all the unconditionally loving nurses, teachers, and caretakers who all deserve much more than they receive. They are the true billionaires of love!

I’ve said enough.

much love and thanks!
