Raul's alternative Cancer treatment

Donation protected
Do you ever fear that you are going to lose someone so close to you? or think that you might not ever see someone again? Well, I never did. Three years ago my family and I received the worst news possible. My younger brother Raul Garcia, who is 23, was diagnosed with a brain tumor called Glioblastoma (most aggressive cancer) while studying at UC Santa Barbara with a grant. Raul Garcia is a bright ,sweet, loving; friend, uncle, son and brother. A year after the diagnosis, he underwent an operation to remove most of the tumor. The tragic news didn’t stop him from attending college and at the same time having a brain operation that was very risky. After two years, he received news that the tumor grew back and this time even more aggressive than the last. If he doesn't receive treatment soon, doctors said he will only have 2 years to live. My brother, who hasn’t yet been able to see the world, is scheduled to die at the age of 25. No one should have to hear that their family member is going to die. My brother, who is a strong young man, is willing to fight. The only hope we have at this point is an alternative treatment that we cannot afford. The alternative treatment is going to cost us 50,000 dollars a month. My family is doing everything possible to come up with the money needed. My mother has already mortgaged our home and it is still not enough. My brother and family are not losing hope. Any donation made is greatly appreciated. No amount is to small. On behalf of my family, we thank you.
