UPDATE:

I want to begin with a huge thank you to everyone who has donated and shared this fundraiser; and who has prayed with and for my dad and our family. It is because of your prayers and the grace of God that has given my dad the strength to continue on this journey.

Since starting this fundraiser, my dad had an infection resulting in hospitalization. Due to its severity, he was transferred to another hospital and (finally) properly diagnosed with Mantle cell lymphoma, which is a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that is rare, and in his case, aggressive. After much pain and reflection, my dad accepted the traditional forms of therapy in his treatment plan, and they have been working well to shrink the tumor so far!

We are now using these donated funds to cover the medical costs that are not covered by Medicare insurance throughout this journey.

**If anyone prefers to give through other means, please send via Venmo to Nova@Lucero . **

Thank you.

My father has been diagnosed with lymphoma cancer. As a natural medicine self-practitioner, he is seeking holistic integrative therapies that support the body's natural ability to heal. This fundraiser is dedicated to helping him access treatments that align with his beliefs and values.

The funds raised will go toward High-Dose IV Vitamin C Therapy, which targets cancer cells while protecting healthy tissues; Oxygen & Detox Therapies to improve cellular function and remove toxins; Nutritional & Immune Support to strengthen the body's defenses; and Mind-Body Healing to address emotional and psychological factors that impact health. These therapies offer hope for a gentle, supportive approach to healing.

I am inviting the larger community to join me in supporting my father's desire to explore natural treatments for cancer. He has always believed in having a strong relationship with nature and listening to his body to guide his healing. He taught me to question everything, and his critical thinking shaped my own outlook on life. My father immigrated from Paraguay to New York City in the 1970s, facing impossible challenges and growing through adversity and strong faith. My hope is to build a small net of support that will help him pursue natural treatments as he fights to live. Your generosity and encouragement mean the world to us.
