Help For Juan & Family

Donation protected

I am writing this on behalf of my dear uncle. Recently he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was sent home on hospice. His tumors has already spread to his lungs, kidneys and brain. He was given a month to live we are not prepared for the funeral or what is to come. He is a hard worker, never taking any vacation or time to get regular health check ups till now that it's to late. He would never complain so we had no idea how sick he is or how he has been feeling. he was to busy working & providing for his family of 6. 

     He has worked as a carpenter for over 17 years for the same man. His boss was never good at paying him on time, even though some days my uncle would work many hours  sometimes 22 hours straight of over time to get the job done.  His boss has not paid him for several months now and with him not being able to work. His boss disappeared on the family owing him months of pay, as soon as he found out about my uncle situation leaving the family in severe hardship things are extremely hard for my uncle and his family. 

     He has 4 children and a wife to provide for. My aunt has Lupus and unable to work. The kids are amazing all in school the reality has not hit them yet, there is one son that is old enough to work but its overwhelming for him to take care of the whole family in such a short notice and they are barely making it by.

     He doesn’t have a lot of time on this earth. I know that his heart is heavy knowing that he is leaving his family in such a heartbreaking situation. He is a hardworking, fun loving,generous man with an amazing heart.

      My biggest wish is for him to be at peace, knowing that his family will have a roof over their heads in the future and will not struggle after he is gone. If you are able to contribute to my uncle, I would be so grateful as well as his family. Every thing that is donated will be going to his family. 7k for the Funeral the rest will go towards medical bill, groceries and monthly  expenses.

Thank you for taking time to read this ❤
