Support for Marcelo's Family in Crisis

Donation protected
Hello everyone, I would like to share the story of my coworker and friend, Marcelo, who is here in the United States working tirelessly seven days a week to support his family back in Brazil. Recently, Marcelo's mother faced severe complications from diabetes, resulting in the heartbreaking loss of both her legs through two separate amputations. To make matters even more difficult, his father is in an advanced stage of cancer and is unable to help with her care. Both parents are now in an extremely vulnerable situation and rely almost entirely on Marcelo for support from afar.

Despite working every single day, Marcelo is struggling to keep up with the overwhelming medical expenses and the costs related to these life-changing procedures. It is devastating for him to see his parents in such a difficult situation without being able to do more for them. The emotional and financial burden is immense, and he is doing everything he can to help, but it is simply not enough.

We are coming together as a community to ask for your support. Any contribution, no matter the amount, will make a meaningful difference for Marcelo and his family. Your kindness and generosity will help ensure that this hardworking, faithful man does not feel alone during such a challenging time. Thank you all so much for your compassion and support.

Olá, pessoal, Gostaria de compartilhar a história de um amigo de trabalho que está aqui nos Estados Unidos, batalhando e trabalhando sete dias por semana para ajudar sua família no Brasil — como muitos de nós. Recentemente, devido ao avanço da diabetes, sua mãe precisou passar por duas amputações e, infelizmente, perdeu as duas pernas. Seu pai está em estágio avançado de câncer e não consegue contribuir com os cuidados. Ambos se encontram em uma situação de extrema vulnerabilidade, dependendo quase que totalmente da ajuda do Marcelo. Com todas as despesas médicas recentes e os custos relacionados às amputações, mesmo trabalhando todos os dias, mal sobra para que ele consiga se manter aqui. É desesperador para ele ver os pais nessa situação sem conseguir fazer mais. Por isso, decidimos unir forças e pedir que, quem puder, contribua com qualquer valor. Toda ajuda fará diferença para que esse homem, cheio de fé e vontade de trabalhar, não se sinta desamparado neste momento tão difícil. Muito obrigada a todos pela solidariedade.
