My name is Jose. I was in a car accident in 2023. Someone crashed into me, and when I was taken to the hospital, they saw I had hurt my back, neck, and knees. On top of all that, I was also diagnosed with cancer in the kidneys. I did have surgery, but unfortunately, over time it has spread to my ribs, lungs, and pelvis. I am a single father to 4 young adults! I am hardworking and always push to be better! My doctors tell me to rest and just take it easy, but I can't. I have my kids I have to take care of, so I try to show up and work still. Due to changes in healthcare, I have started receiving bills—$1000 bills every so often. It's very stressful and even though I didn't want to create one of these, I feel like this is my only way to continue my help at the hospital and be able to take care of myself. Anything you are able to give means the world to me.
