Hello, my name is Luis Gustavo.

I'm 41 years old; mechanic; father to little Jordan, who just turned one. I'm married to Mariane, who is unemployed. I was the only one working until exactly 3 days ago, when everything changed suddenly.

A few months, I started feeling a lot of pain and every time I sought medical help, they prescribed paracetamol and sent home.

The pain worsened over time week with pain, nausea, dizziness and fever.

Last Saturday (20th), I went to the Emergency department at Reading hospital.

I was admitted so we could begin an investigation with tests and was diagnosed with bowel cancer with metastasis to the liver with risk of spreading to other organs. The situation unexpectedly worsened when a tumor ruptured in my bowel, which led to an extremely serious and invasive emergency surgery which was performed to save my life. Thank God and the doctors that I'm alive and have a few more challenges to overcome so I can get back to work, support my family, and watch my son grow up.

Anyway, I didn't even want to come here asking for help because anyone who knows me knows that I'm usually the one who helps, but right now I have no choice but to rely on the contributions of everyone who can come and help.

Any contribution makes a difference. I sincerely thank you for every help, prayer and sharing that we as a family may receive. We sincerely appreciate all the support, affection and solidarity during this difficult time.

Thank You so Much for prays, share and donates.
