I'm doing this fundraiser for my dad, Pascual Ornelas, and our family. My dad had always been very strong and healthy. He worked in construction for 20+ years and helped my mom and me in our event rental business.

My mom and two siblings noticed he was acting differently in June 2023, so we took him to the ER. We found out he had a brain tumor. He had brain surgery to remove the tumor right away, but after the biopsy, we received the news that it was cancerous. He has large B-cell lymphoma cancer. He has gotten chemotherapy and got a stem cell transplant in March 2024.

He was doing well, but unfortunately, we just got the news his cancer has returned. We just found out he now has multiple brain tumors. He will be starting a new chemo treatment as soon as possible.

No matter how small, every donation will help cover medical expenses and living costs. This would allow our family to help care for my dad and hopefully make this situation less stressful for my mom. Thank you for taking the time to read our story and consider donating.

With love and gratitude,

Paola Ornelas
