Hi everyone,

We are creating this page to support our father, Hector Saavedra, as he continues treatment for advanced cancer.

Hector has been diagnosed with Stage IV cholangiocarcinoma, a rare cancer that forms in the bile ducts. While this has been incredibly difficult for our family, our focus is on ensuring he receives consistent, high-quality care and maintains the best possible quality of life during treatment.

Cancer treatment brings not only physical and emotional challenges, but also significant financial strain — even with insurance. Over the coming months, costs related to treatment and care add up quickly and often unexpectedly.

We are asking for support to help cover:

Cancer treatment and chemotherapy-related costs

Medical procedures, imaging, and lab work

Medications and symptom management

Travel and logistical expenses related to care

Support services to help our family navigate this journey

Based on current treatment plans and guidance from medical providers, out-of-pocket expenses can easily reach tens of thousands of dollars over the course of treatment.

Any contribution, no matter the size, will go directly toward helping our father focus on healing, rest, and comfort — without the added stress of financial burden. If you are unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping our family in your thoughts means more than we can express.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this challenging time.

With gratitude,

Anthony and Caroline Saavedra
