Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my uncle, Mario Puente — a devoted father, a hard-working man, and the main provider for his family. For years, Mario has selflessly dedicated his life to ensuring his children had everything they needed. His love, strength, and tireless work ethic have always been an inspiration to those around him.

Recently, Mario received a devastating diagnosis: Multiple Sclerosis. Over the past month, his condition has worsened, and he has been hospitalized and unable to work. As the primary breadwinner, this has placed an overwhelming financial burden on his family. Rent, bills, and mounting medical expenses have begun to pile up.

We are doing everything we can to support him during this difficult time, and we have strong faith that he will recover and return to the life he loves. But right now, we need your help.

Multiple sclerosi

A disease in which the immune system eats away at the protective covering of nerves.

In MS, resulting nerve damage disrupts communication between the brain and the body.

Multiple sclerosis causes many different symptoms, including vision loss, pain, fatigue, and impaired coordination. The symptoms, severity, and duration can vary from person to person. Some people may be symptom free most of their lives, while others can have severe chronic symptoms that never go away.

Physical therapy and medications that suppress the immune system can help with symptoms and slow disease progression.

Any contribution — no matter how small — will go directly to cover:

• Medical bills and treatments

• Daily living expenses

• Rent and utilities for his family

Your kindness and generosity will mean the world to Mario and to all of us who love him. If you’re not able to donate at this time, please consider sharing this message with others. Every gesture makes a difference.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support, prayers, and compassion.

With gratitude,

Puente Family
