Natalie and Edgardo are the devoted parents of their young son, Nathan. As their best friend, I’ve seen firsthand how hard they work to give Nathan a loving, stable home, even as they face overwhelming challenges. Natalie, despite battling multiple sclerosis, continues to work in healthcare, caring for others while managing her own health struggles. Edgardo, who had non-Hodgkin lymphoma years ago, has recently received difficult news: multiple retroperitoneal masses have been found, and he is currently unemployed as he faces this new health battle.

This family is incredibly close and spends every moment working to be the best parents they can be for Nathan. Even when sick, Natalie puts others first, showing a strength and compassion that inspires everyone around her. The financial strain of ongoing medical bills, daily living expenses, and the added stress of the holiday season has left them feeling defeated, but they remain hopeful and determined to keep moving forward for Nathan’s sake.

We’re raising funds to help cover Edgardo’s treatment, Natalie’s medical bills, everyday living costs, and to bring a little joy to Nathan this Christmas. Every donation will help ease their burden and remind them that they’re not alone in this fight. Your support means the world to this deserving family, and together, we can help them find hope and stability during this difficult time.
