Dear family, friends, and community,

The Contesti family needs your help, your support, and your prayers. Recently, Luca and his family had their lives turned upside down. He was diagnosed with Burkitt Lymphoma, which is a rare but highly aggressive B-Cell non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

At just 17 years old, Luca is now undergoing intensive treatments, long hospital stays, and challenges no teenager should ever have to endure.

Luca is a kind, funny, intelligent young man who has a gentle way about him. He has a heart full of love for his family and friends. He's the kind of kid who shows up with a smile and brightens every room he walks into. Through all the medical tests and diagnosis, Luca has kept a positive attitude, his sense of humor, and has shown overwhelming strength.

This GoFundMe is not only to support Luca's medical journey but to allow his family to stay focused on the difficult fight ahead. We are asking for your help to ease the financial burden and allow the Contesti family to focus on what matters most: Luca's health, comfort, and road to remission.

If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this page and keep Luca in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you for standing with Luca and his family as they fight this fight together! #Lucastrong
