Each of us has been affected by cancer in some way.
I don't know about you hen I hear that someone I know gets the diagnosis “Cancer” I feel a righteous indignation. (def: Anger and contempt combined with a feeling that it is one's right to feel that way; anger without guilt.)

No matter how bright your halo might be, you just want to shout “F*@% Cancer!!!” 
  
Less than a year ago we received the news my Tio Jesse is battling Stage 4 Colorectal cancer. Excluding skin cancers, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. 
 
As far back as I can remember my Tio has always brought laughter to those around him. He has passed down the love old school, lowriders and Chicano culture to his nieces and nephews. He is generous and thoughtful. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone in need. Now, he is in need. So, together we have created this GoFundMe account to help him and his family.

My nina/aunt Maria has seen her share of hardships. Yet she remains positive and is an encourager.
Together they have raised 3 young men to give back to the community. 2 of the 3 are interns to become first responders and the youngest is still in school.

My Tio was the primary income provider until he had to take a leave of absence due to his health. My Tia has also had to leave her job to care for him. His chemo treatments have taken a toll on the family physically and mentally.

Even when he is fatigued you can still see him smiling, trying to make us smile too.
They have been struggling with the diagnosis and are getting by month to month.  We are asking for your help. 

My cousin Raul has generously donated these T-shirts.

Every person that donates $25 or more will receive a T-shirt mailed to them at no cost.

Please consider giving as your heart leads you.  
Your prayers are needed and welcomed. 

 Any donation is appreciated with a heartful of gratitude.
