Victor needs your help!

Hi, my name is Obed Martínez I am the brother-in-law of Victor Muñoz. My sister is Dámaris Martínez- Muñoz. Many of you know Victor, Dámaris, Kalebh, and Julia. For those who do not know them but know of them through mutual friends or me, I ask that you please read this and not scroll through it.

As I write this, I am shocked that I am writing this! Victor has always been a very gentle guy with a very kind personality. Although Victor and I have not seen eye to eye on certain things, we always took the time to hear each other's points of view. I am reminded of a time when we were talking about airlines... Victor and I travel for work; Victor likes flying with Delta Airlines... On the other hand, I think Delta is terrible and would instead fly American Airlines. Although we both have valid reasons not to fly either airline, we always end those conversations with a joke about the subject. That's who Victor is; very phlegmatic about specific discussions and topics. When it comes to his Christianity, Victor unequivocally LOVES the Lord! He lives his life showing God's love to all every day.

Just a little under a month ago, I got a call from my mom, who is currently staying with Victor, Damaris, Kalebh, and Julia in Chattanooga TN. It was one of the toughest calls I had to take! I asked my mom how things were, and she mentioned, "not good" my heart started racing as I tried to figure out what was "not good." She continued to tell me that Victor was in the hospital and was unsure why, but he had been complaining about severe headaches for the past couple of days. I thought, what is going on? I asked her how long he had been in the hospital, and she mentioned, "a couple of days so far." I finished talking to my mom and said a quick prayer for Victor. Then I texted my sister Damaris to find out what was going on.

Damaris started to tell me why he and she were in the hospital; at the time, they were trying to figure out why the severe headaches... Damaris started to mention scientific terms (which I had no idea what she was talking about) until she came to the C and the T word... cancer tumor?!? I thought to myself, no; this couldn't be right! I asked Damaris to repeat what she had said... she again mentioned those two words cancer tumor. I will never forget that conversation... It was a Wednesday at 8:15 am PST, and I was at one of our Southern California academies doing a college fair. A few days later, I spoke to Damaris again, and it was confirmed Victor had been diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a tumor in his head so big it was inoperable.

This is why I am writing this, and you are reading it. I value you as a friend and what is important to you. I hope you feel the same way about me! Victor has been the primary income producer in his home. Damaris has had to cut her hours to take care of Victor. My niece and nephew work part-time jobs at Starbucks. They need your help financially! Victor has started treatment to reduce the tumor so that the doctors can get in there and get it out. We all know healthcare is expensive in this country, but we also know that God is all-knowing and in control, and he makes a way out of no way.

I have done the math, and we are looking for 2,500 people to donate only 20.00 each. This will give them enough for the treatment and household expenses. If you can contribute more, I ask that you please do. If you can donate less, I ask that you please do.

Thank you for reading and donating to help my family, who need your help.
