Manuel's Bone Marrow Transplant
Donation protected
On July 3rd 2015 Manuel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). He was immediately transferred to Rush University Medical Center in Chicago where he received an intense chemotherapy regiment. He is now in need of a bone marrow transplant in order to survive.
Our brother Karlos nor I were a match for him. But by the grace of God, they were able to find a match from a 28 year old female here in the U.S. Bless her heart that she is willing to put her life on hold to save my brothers. For that, we are forever grateful. The transplant itself, is very expensive even after his personal insurance coverage. Manuel will be in isolation for 3 months. My mother will be his caretaker most of the time while his fiance Jenelle, is unable to be there. They will be relocating to Chicago for his time in isolation which will be very costly. When Manuel was first diagnosed in July, our family and friends worked very hard to raise money for his chemotherapy journey unfortunately, those funds have be exhausted. We would appreciate any help at this time. My brother has proven to us all that his is #RiveraStrong! Thank You for your support!
