Support for Arlindo's journey

Hi, my name is Raphaela and my father, Arlindo, has been diagnosed with stage 3 adenocarcinoma and is currently stuck in Brazil receiving treatment. This has been an incredibly difficult time for our family, as he is facing not only the physical and emotional toll of battling cancer, but also the financial burden that comes with it.

The cost of hospital bills, medications, and daily living expenses has quickly become overwhelming. We are doing everything we can to support him, but we need help. Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward his medical care and basic necessities as he fights this disease. Your generosity and kindness mean the world to us.

Update 08/24/2025 - For the last few months my Dad, Arlindo, has started receiving palliative care. His cancer has progressed to stage 4 with metastases to the liver and peritoneum. He was doing chemo to attempt to give him a better quality of life but it has not been easy for him. He was pulled from chemo as he has been having complications, and has been in the hospital. We are currently waiting to see what the next steps will be. While we pray for the best we are also bracing ourselves for the worst. Thank you all.

All funds donated have been and will be sent to Brazil to help with daily expenses and bills including any final arrangements. Thank you all for all the support we have received.
