Support Luz's Fight Against Cancer in Mexico

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

I am raising funds Maria Lopez, affectionately known to many of us as "Luz."

Luz is currently battling cancer in Mexico. As many of you may know, accessing quality cancer treatment there is incredibly expensive, and the healthcare system is deeply under-resourced. I started this GoFundMe to help ease the massive financial burden of her medical bills, because if anyone deserves our collective support right now, it is her.

Luz came to the United States in the early 2000s and became a cornerstone of my childhood. My parents were working-class immigrants who had to leave for work incredibly early every single day. Luz stepped in to look after me, walking me to and from school just to ease my parents' stress. Because she knew my family was struggling to get by, she never charged us a single dime. She didn't just care for me out of obligation; she treated me like her own family. I grew up remembering her truly as an aunt because of how profoundly kind, selfless, and loving she was.

Now, it is our turn to show up for her the way she showed up for my family when we had nothing.

Every single dollar counts. Even a donation of $1 goes a long way toward her treatment, medication, and care. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this link with your network. Let’s come together to help this beautiful soul win her fight against cancer.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and generosity.

Hola a todos:

Estoy recaudando fondos para Maria Lopez, a quien muchos de nosotros conocemos cariñosamente como "Luz".

Actualmente, Luz está luchando contra el cáncer en México. Como muchos sabrán, acceder a un tratamiento oncológico de calidad allí es increíblemente costoso y el sistema de salud carece de recursos suficientes. Inicié esta campaña de GoFundMe para ayudar a aliviar la enorme carga económica que suponen sus gastos médicos, porque si alguien merece nuestro apoyo colectivo en este momento, es ella.

Luz llegó a Estados Unidos a principios de la década de los 2000 y se convirtió en una figura fundamental de mi infancia. Mis padres eran inmigrantes de clase trabajadora que debían salir muy temprano a trabajar todos los días. Luz se encargaba de cuidarme y de acompañarme a la escuela y traerme de vuelta, simplemente para aliviar el estrés de mis padres. Como sabía que a mi familia le costaba llegar a fin de mes, nunca nos cobró ni un centavo. No me cuidaba por obligación; me trataba como a alguien de su propia familia. Crecí considerándola realmente como una tía, gracias a lo profundamente amable, generosa y cariñosa que siempre fue.

Ahora nos toca a nosotros apoyarla, tal como ella apoyó a mi familia cuando no teníamos nada.

Cada dólar cuenta. Incluso una donación de 1 dólar es de gran ayuda para su tratamiento, medicamentos y cuidados. Si no puedes donar, por favor considera compartir este enlace con tus contactos. Unámonos para ayudar a esta hermosa persona a ganar su batalla contra el cáncer.

Gracias desde el fondo de mi corazón por su amabilidad y generosidad.
