Hi everyone , my name is Fernando Angulo(@theboyfer )
Many of you may know me from my social media presence . I’ve been creating content for the past four years and sharing my life online every single day. From the highs to the lows, I’ve always kept it real with my audience, because showing up authentically has always mattered to me. But today, I’m sharing something that’s been incredibly difficult to talk about.
On March 31st, I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Since that day, my world completely shifted. Cancer has taken over nearly every part of my life physically, emotionally, and financially. I’ve been in and out of the hospital almost weekly, and I’m now halfway through my chemotherapy treatments. Some days are better than others, but the fight has been nonstop. Along the way I have been documenting( filming ) my whole journey and showing the world the good, bad, sad, and happy times I’ve had throughout this whole process .
Up until now, I’ve been doing my best to cover all the costs on my own. So far, I’ve spent over $15,000 out of pocket from medical bills, treatments , prescriptions , moving my whole life to a new city to be closer to family and basically starting a completely new life .But the reality is, my savings are starting to run low, and the bills aren’t slowing down.
I never imagined I’d be in a position where I’d need to create something like this. Asking for financial support is not easy for me it’s uncomfortable, and honestly, it’s humbling. But I also know that there are people out there who care, who’ve followed my journey, and who may be in a position to help.
Any money raised will go directly toward medical expenses, exploring other treatment options that might give me a better chance, and taking care of my mental health which is just as important during a fight like this.
Whether you’re able to donate, share, or even just send a kind message, it all means more than I can put into words. I’m staying hopeful. I’m staying strong. And I’m so grateful for the love and support I’ve already received along the way.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and for being part of my journey.
— your bestie
