Help Hugo's Fight Against Cancer

Donation protected




My father is everything to me.  He was diagnosed with stage 4 metastic prostate cancer in October of 2014, after a year of health challenges. He is a very caring and loving father, who has always kept his family close and loved being alive.  He has been an artist in Ecuador since 1965 and has painted thousands of art pieces that are now around the world.  He followed in his fathers footsteps, who is now 92 years old and was an artist.  I never thought that I would be thinking about losing my father before he was 70 years old.  Today, he is fighting to stay alive and live more than ever.  However, due to the pain and challenges this disease causes he is no longer able to paint with the same dynamic he has been for almost 50 years and has lost his earning capability.  His medical bills are ongoing now, due to having to take medication every day and following hormone therapy.  My father's diet has changed with this disease, since weight loss is common, we've had to make sure he follows a strict diet plan.  We are not following a chemotheray treatment at this time but if that is to come in the future I am not sure how we will be able to pay for this.  My family and I have come together to help in every way we can but we can see our help not being enough in the future with everything fighting this disease will require.  We are asking for you to help in anyway you can by donating, sharing the story or praying for us.
