Support Jose's Cancer Battle & Family Recovery

Donation protected
Five months ago, my husband, Jose, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a blood cancer, and our lives changed forever. Since then, he has been unable to work, facing treatment, appointments, and the uncertainty of what comes next. Through it all, his courage, humor, and love inspire me every day. He is my partner, my best friend, and the father of our child — someone who has always been there for others. Now we are the ones who need support from our community.

As a teacher, I am currently the sole provider for our family while also trying to care for my husband through this difficult journey. We have a 19-year-old son who is in college, and balancing our family's needs while managing medical treatments has been incredibly challenging.

José will soon undergo a stem cell transplant, followed by several months of recovery, and the financial strain has been overwhelming. The costs of treatments, medications, and everyday living expenses have added up quickly, while his ability to work has been taken away.

We've always tried to face challenges together, but this journey has tested us in ways we never imagined. We are doing our best to stay positive and hopeful. This campaign will help cover medical expenses and essential living costs so we can focus on healing and supporting one another during this time.

Any support — whether through a donation or simply sharing this page — means the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with our family during this difficult time.

Hace cinco meses a mi esposo, José, lo diagnosticaron con mieloma múltiple, un cáncer de la sangre, y nuestras vidas cambiaron para siempre. Desde entonces, tuvo que dejar de trabajar y dedicarse a tratamientos y citas médicas, con la incertidumbre del futuro. A pesar de todo, su valentía, humor y amor me inspiran cada día. José es mi compañero, mi mejor amigo y el padre de nuestro hijo. La persona que siempre ha estado para los demás, ahora necesita el apoyo de la comunidad.

Como maestra, actualmente soy la responsable financiera de nuestra familia, mientras trato de cuidar a mi esposo durante este difícil camino. Tenemos un hijo de 19 años que está en la universidad y balancear las necesidades de nuestra familia durante los tratamientos médicos ha sido increíblemente desafiante.

José pronto se someterá a un trasplante de células madre (trasplante de médula ósea), al que le seguirán varios meses de recuperación, y la carga financiera es abrumadora. Los costos de los tratamientos, medicamentos y los gastos diarios se han acumulado rápidamente mientras él no puede trabajar.

Siempre hemos enfrentado los desafíos juntos, pero este camino nos ha puesto a prueba de manera que nunca imaginamos. Estamos haciendo nuestro mejor esfuerzo por mantenernos positivos. Esta campaña ayudará a cubrir los gastos médicos y las necesidades básicas para que podamos concentrarnos en sanar y apoyarnos durante este tiempo.

Cualquier apoyo — ya sea a través de una donación o compartiendo esta página — significará el mundo para nosotros. Gracias desde el fondo de nuestros corazones por acompañar a nuestra familia en este momento tan difícil.
