<div>My name is Ron Mejia. I'm a husband, father, and small business owner facing advanced prostate cancer. I'm doing everything I can to heal and be there for my family. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of this chapter of my life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've always believed that life is a journey of learning and growth. I've never considered myself perfect, but I've always tried to become a better person by living with compassion, purpose, and gratitude.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Then, in a single moment, my life changed when I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. What followed was a journey I never expected filled with difficult decisions, uncertainty, and challenges that have tested me and my family in ways I never imagined.
</div>
<div>As I met with specialists and learned more about my diagnosis, I quickly realized this would be a very challenging mountain to climb. Additional testing revealed that my prostate cancer was more aggressive than anyone had hoped and had spread beyond the prostate. Receiving that news was heartbreaking for my family and me, but it also strengthened my determination. Rather than allowing the diagnosis to fill me with fear or discourage me, I committed myself to doing everything within my power to heal, follow my medical team's guidance, and remain present for the people I love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My treatment includes hormone therapy and an intensive course of 40 radiation treatments at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center in Miami. Although I live in Cape Coral, I chose to receive my care there because I wanted access to a highly specialized cancer team and the treatment plan that gave me the greatest confidence. That decision means traveling approximately three hours each way and temporarily living in Miami during radiation so I can receive treatment Monday through Friday for two months.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Like many small business owners, I wear many hats. I own and operate my own residential painting business, and every part of it depends on me from meeting with customers and preparing estimates to performing the physical work, scheduling projects, and managing the business. As treatment has become more demanding, the travel, appointments, testing, and physical effects of cancer have made it increasingly difficult to keep my business running. Time that was once spent earning a living is now devoted to protecting my health and giving myself the best opportunity to heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout this experience, my family and friends have been my foundation. Their love, encouragement, strength, and unwavering support have carried me through moments when I felt overwhelmed and reminded me that I never have to face this alone. They have kept me grounded, strengthened my faith in myself, and surrounded me with a love that words can hardly express. I truly don't know where I would be without them. One of my greatest motivations is to continue this journey so I can be there for them, just as they have always been there for me.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This experience has also changed me in ways I never expected. While it has brought financial hardship, uncertainty, and emotional challenges, it has reminded me not to take a single day for granted. It has deepened my appreciation for my family, strengthened my compassion for others, and inspired me to care for both my body and mind through exercise, daily meditation, and continual personal growth.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I've chosen not to let this diagnosis define me, but to let it refine me.
</div>
<div>Asking for help is not something that comes naturally to me. I've always taken pride in working hard, providing for my family, and facing life's challenges with determination. But cancer has changed what I can do on my own. The demands of treatment, the travel between Cape Coral and Miami, and the time away from my business have created financial burdens that are difficult for my family to carry alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What Your Generosity Makes Possible
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your generosity will help provide stability while I focus on treatment and recovery. It will help with essential living expenses, travel to and from Miami for treatment, temporary lodging during radiation, and the medical-related costs that continue throughout this journey. More than anything, your support gives me something priceless: the opportunity to focus my energy on healing, being present with my family, and returning to the life I love.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As my treatment continues, I'll provide updates so you can see how your kindness is helping my family and me through this journey.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I know this journey isn't mine alone. Every act of kindness, every prayer, every encouraging message, every share, and every contribution reminds me that none of us has to face life's greatest challenges by ourselves.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To everyone who has taken the time to read my story, support my family, encourage me, or simply keep me in your thoughts, thank you. Your kindness means more than I could ever express.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I will conquer this—not alone, but with the love, support, and care of those around me.
</div>
<div>When I come through this journey, I will pay that kindness forward by supporting and encouraging others who are facing challenges of their own. If my experience can bring hope, strength, or comfort to even one person, then something meaningful will have grown from this journey.
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Ron

Help Ron Rise Above Cancer

<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);"></span>To know our Mom… Ms. Gerri to so many… is to love her and to have been touched by her love, goodness, grace and light. She has dedicated her life to helping and uplifting others. Never hesitating to show up and to wrap her family, friends and students with all the love in her heart.
<br /><br />Earlier this year, she was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. She started chemotherapy in April. <br /><br />Shortly after receiving her diagnosis, she was in the hospital for 17 days due to an infection in her blood, and then again for 3 days due to blood clots in her lungs. <br /><br />She is handling the treatment well. Her spirit is bright and her faith is strong, but we know that we need help as we start to wrap our heads and hearts around the journey ahead. 

<br /><br />We are raising money primarily to help with the medical costs required for treatment.
<br /><br />And also for groceries, cleaners, medical supplies at home, care for our wonderful Grandma (who just turned 96 and lives with her), and to be able to continue utilizing every tool available to us for her healing. We are going to fight this with her, one day at a time, and we know that she has an army of love and support that will lift her up as we navigate it all together.
<br /><br />Thank you for loving our Mom so strongly and for any help you can give her through this fundraiser. <br /><br />We also appreciate your help sharing this fundraiser in any way you can so it can be seen by as many eyes as possible.<br /><br />From the bottom of our hearts, we are grateful. <br /><br /><br />Always in Dance,
<br />Natalie and JJ<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);"></span>

Help support a victim of a fatal accident

<div>Hello my name is Patrick I am 59 years old, in the last 10 years I have gained 250 excess pounds that have led to a morbid obesity. It has caused a lymphatic edema water retention in my legs and in my body that has reached to my lungs and my heart. This makes it very hard to breathe or to move. I have always been a healthy person, however, with depressions in my life and losses something went wrong along the way. I need a little bit of help to save my life to be here for my family for my wife and my four kids and grandson. I feel terrible for doing this but I have nowhere to reach out for help, my kids told me this might help us with the money. Maybe a little bit of change form everybody just a little bit will help me get the surgery so I can put together the amount needed. I appreciate your help, you may know me or not know me but I've never asked for anything in my life and I feel embarrassed and terrible about this but I'm trying to save my life any little bit can help thank you very much.

EMERGENCY SURGERY

<div>Hi, my name is Sean Auld, I am fundraising for medical bill coverage.Back in February I was on a business trip, came home and thought I might have Covid. Went to the ER and it was not Covid. I ended up being admitted, medically induced into a coma and put on life support for 2 and a half weeks. I managed to survive septicemia, esophageal ulcer, stomach ulcers, kidney failure, and a drug damaged liver. I am still bed bound. I have been for 13 weeks continuously in the hospital and am now in an inpatient rehabilitation hospital. Thank you in advance! Everything is appreciated ❤️

This gofundme is for Carlos Ruiz, he is a 19 year old charismatic young man that has a heart of gold. Anybody that knows him would say he is the most loving and caring person they know. He is very into sports, cars, motorcyles and everything else that comes with being a 19 year old young man. Unfortunately, his life got turned upside down in a blink of an eye, due to a serious motorcycle accident. <br />         On July 27th 2016 he was T-Bonded by a van while riding home. He was able to walk away with his life, however, this accident has left him paralyzed from the lower chest down. It is still unclear if he will be able to make any type of full recovery, however, there is still hope. He has undergone five surgeries thus far. Carlos's spirts are still high and we all believe that if he finds stength within himself anyhting is possible. However, financially speaking this accident has taken it's toll on the Ruiz family. As everyone knows medical bills can get pretty expensive, especially when the injuries are as signifacnt as Carlos's are. He is beginning the process of physical therapy, which can be very difficult for him at times. Carlos now needs to have his house  handicap accessible so that he can get in and out of the house without any stress. Also the restroom and other aspects of the house need to accommodate his needs. All we want for Carlos at this point is to recover from his injuries so that he can continue to be a normal 19 year old young man. <br />          The money raised will be used to help him and his family with these, and many other unexpected expenses that they will face on their journey to his recovery. I ask you all to please help out in any way that you can; every little bit helps. Including love and prayersfor Carlos. Love and compassion for others is what makes this world such a beautiful place. Before you donate just remember that we are extremely thankful that you contributed to Carlos's health.  The satisfaction of being a light in someones life at such dark time is the greatest satifaction of all. Again thank you alI and may GOD bless you and your family.

Carlos Ruiz and Family
