My name is Patty, I’m sharing my brothers story and why I decided to open this GoFundraiser page. A little over a year ago my brother Jose was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal cancer wow that was one of the worse days ever but we couldn’t let that stop us. Even with the odds against us even knowing that only 10% of people with this type of cancer live to make 3yrs. My brother Jose has given up a fight! He has gone through 3 different treatments, procedure after procedure, and we continue trying with the hopes that these trial treatments will give him a miracle. Beginning of February the doctor told us he had 9 months left to live we are down to 7 months based on the doctor. Lately my brother has worsen and the cancer is beginning to take a toll on him no matter how much he tries to smile, joke, and be himself. His cognitive ability is showing signs, his bowel movements and his urinary system is slowly down he is becoming weaker everyday. I fear god may call my brother home soon. This has been one of the biggest pills to swallow! I ask of those that know him and even those that don’t to help raise the funds for his funeral for he has chosen what he wants and how he wants it to be. If anyone deserves the funeral they want it is him! His whole life he has given to all and done for all! He doesn’t have kids but he has many nieces and nephews that he provided for and always gave them his best!! If you were down and out and needed help it was Jose to the rescue so now let’s give a little of what he gave us! Even if you don’t know him I promise any dollar you give is well appreciated and every dollar counts! There is no such thing as little money it all matters so if you find it in your heart to help us give him the funeral he deserves please donate if you can’t donate please share because sharing is as valuable as the dollar! Thank you!!!
