Mikey Martinez is a bright and brave 9-year-old who is facing an incredibly difficult time. He is deeply loved by his parents, Catherine Brondo and Mario Martinez, and his siblings—two brothers and a sister—who are all by his side as he navigates this challenging chapter.

Recently, Mikey was hospitalized in Corpus Christi after doctors identified serious findings involving his bones and surrounding areas. He underwent extensive testing, including MRIs and biopsies, as his medical team worked urgently to understand what was happening. After days of uncertainty and difficult procedures, the family has received answers. Mikey has been diagnosed with Ewing’s sarcoma, and doctors believe it has only been present for a few months.

Mikey’s medical team now has a clear treatment plan in place. Treatment will begin with chemotherapy, and if needed, targeted cell treatment is already being prepared. Radiation and surgery will most likely take place in Houston as part of Mikey’s care. Mikey was told about his diagnosis and took it well, showing remarkable strength and resilience. The family remains hopeful and grounded in faith as they move forward.

Throughout this uncertain time, Catherine and Mario have remained at Mikey’s side, focused entirely on his care and comfort. The road ahead includes ongoing hospital stays, frequent travel for treatment, and extended time away from work, creating significant emotional and financial strain for their family. Funds raised through this page will help cover medical-related expenses, travel, meals, and daily living needs, allowing Mikey’s parents to stay with him and focus fully on supporting his care and recovery.

Any support—whether through donations, prayers, or sharing this page—is deeply appreciated. Thank you for surrounding Mikey and his family with love, kindness, and strength during this difficult time.
