Numbers Up
Hi all,
Well, I was about to say that “this round goes to the cancer,” but no… no it doesn’t.
My mind is in a good place, my body as well, and my spirit is soaring high…
My numbers shot up a bit after going to the states to visit with and help my parents through a difficult time.
It’s a disappointment for sure, but I’ve got some good fight in me and a graceful God that has shown Himself faithful.
I can’t, at the moment, fathom how much longer this will go on, but I know that it will keep affecting us all financially. Your help is greatly desired.
Will you consider making a donation to help us fight?
Thank you for taking a moment to read.
Be blessed,
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate
As many of you know, we've been through it this past 3+ years. Pain and discomfort, diagnosis, cancer detected, unbelievable insurance and medical bureaucracy to navigate, 4 surgeries, chemo, and last year's a 20 hour surgery which was supposed to be curative.
There have been many challenges in and around all of these to include physical, mental, spiritual, and financial. It's been a tough road.
We are thankful for all of you that have donated generously to keeping Miguel alive. We mean it. We have known more than a few here who have passed because they couldn't afford to pay for treatment etc.
Our current 'challenges,' are facing life-long chemo, gaining weight, building muscle, avoiding cachexia (wasting disease), autism induced by, or brought more to the surface by surgeries, chemo, and other treatments, and navigating life with 3-4 monthly appointments, travel, etc.
Miguel is able to keep his weight at its present level, but he fluctuates by 8-10 pounds twice a month and that's not exactly healthy. We are currently supplementing protein powder, but, it costs about a hundred and twenty bucks per container, and lasts only a month.
If you'd like to purchase 1 or 2 containers, use this platform towards that end, or contact us via Facebook messenger for other options.
Even with many donations, we are still accumulating debt. Simply put, we can use an influx of new donations. If you are able to make a recurring monthly donation, great. If you can donate one time, awesome! If you cannot donate but can share these updates, we appreciate it greatly.
In any case, this platform is trusted and secure and we've been using it for a lot of years. You can trust that your donation will get to us safely and in a timely manner.
We Love you all.
Miguel, Lauren, and Kate.
