Cancer Treatment for Julio Venegas

Donation protected
Julio Venegas is a 52-year-old single father of two children, Keyla 19 years and Samuel 15 years old.

They reside in Tambor, a rural town in Costa Rica on the Nicoya Peninsula. Julio is a generous, kind and caring man with a zest for life. His ear to ear smile is his trademark. This past August Julio was diagnosed with malignant melanoma. He has already had a surgical procedure to remove the tumor,

but unfortunately diagnostic imaging has shown metastasis to his abdomen. Julio now must undergo radiation and chemotherapy for his cancer. He will likely need a future surgery of his abdomen to get the rest of the cancer.

Julio Venegas es un padre soltero de 52 anos de dos hijos, Keyla 19 anos y Samuel 15 anos de edad. Residen en Tambor, un pueblo rural en Costa Rica en la Peninsula de Nicoya. Julio es un hombre generoso, amable y carinoso con entusiasmo por la vida.

Su sonrisa de oreja a oreja es su marca registrada. El pasado mes de Agosto julio fue diagnosticado con melanoma malign. Ya se ha sometido a un procedimiento  quirurgico para extirpar el tumor, pero desafortunadamente la imagen diagnostica ha mostrado metastasis en el abdomen. Julio ahora debe recibir radiacion y quimioterapia para este cancer. Probablemente necesitara una futura cirugia de su abdomen para obtener el resto del cancer.

Julio’s treatment will be taking place in San Jose 3 hours away from his home. He will be required to stay overnight and be assisted with his commute. Julio will be unable to work and provide for his family. This is where the power of many can help.

We want to raise $25,000.00 to assist Julio with his treatments and help his family through this time. Julio is already under the care of his medical team at CIMA. This world class hospital can provide Julio with the best medical care available in Costa Rica. Please help Julio get this treatment by donating to his fund. On behalf of Julio and his family I thank you in advance for supporting him.

El tratamiento de Julio tendra’ lugar en San Jose a 3 horas de su casa. Se le pedira’ que pernocte y se le ayudara’ con su viaje diario. Julio no podra’ trabajar y proveer para su familia. Aqui’ es donde el poder de muchos puede ayudar.

Queremos recaudar $25,000.00 para ayudar a Julio con sus tratamientos y ayudar a su familia a traves de este tiempo. Julio ya esta’ bajo el cuidado de su equipo medico en CIMA. Este hospital de clase mundial puede brindarle a Julio la mejor atencion medica disponible en Costa Rica. Por favor, ayuda a Julio a obtener este tratamiento donando a su fondo.
