Help Jose fight against ALS

Donation protected
Jose is known to many as a kind man who, over the course of his life, has provided many of his friends and family with living and financial assistance. He’s always looked out for others and kept his door open for those who needed it most. We know him as a father, grandfather, uncle, brother, and friend who always provided for and protected his family and those he cared for. He taught us the importance of family, hard work, and kindness.

Shortly after his 59th birthday, he was diagnosed with ALS. It’s been a challenging experience for all of us and truly hard to comprehend. Over the last few months, the disease has progressed rapidly, causing him to lose most of his mobility. He can no longer do the things he used to do, like go for walks or play with his grandkids.

We are starting this GoFundMe account to raise money for Jose to start treatment to help slow down the deterioration and hopefully help improve or retain some of the remaining mobility. He will be traveling to Florida towards the end of October to start treatment. The cost of his treatment is $7500 per week, not including travel and accommodations. We have created this page to give Jose’s many friends and family the opportunity to help. We hope and pray that this will be life-changing for him.

He has worked his entire life to provide for his family, and now it’s our turn. This GoFundMe has been created to help lift some of the financial burdens so we can seek the necessary treatments needed to help us extend the time we have with him. He’s a fighter, and we won’t stop fighting for him.

Thank you to everyone for your support through this difficult time. It means so much to Jose and us.

José es conocido por muchos como un hombre amable que, a lo largo de su vida, ha brindado asistencia financiera y de subsistencia a muchos de sus amigos y familiares. Siempre se ha preocupado por los demás y ha mantenido su puerta abierta para aquellos que más lo necesitaban. Lo conocemos como un padre, abuelo, tío, hermano y amigo que siempre mantuvo y protegió a su familia y a quienes cuidaba. Nos enseñó la importancia de la familia, el trabajo duro y la amabilidad.

Poco después de cumplir 59 años, le diagnosticaron ALS. Ha sido una experiencia desafiante para todos nosotros y realmente difícil de comprender. En los últimos meses, la enfermedad ha progresado rápidamente, causándole la pérdida de la mayor parte de su movilidad. Ya no puede hacer las cosas que solía hacer, como salir a caminar o jugar con sus nietos.

Estamos iniciando esta cuenta de GoFundMe para recaudar dinero para que José comience el tratamiento para ayudar a frenar el deterioro y, con suerte, ayudar a mejorar o retener parte de la movilidad restante. Viajará a Florida a fines de octubre para comenzar el tratamiento. El costo de su tratamiento es de $7500 por semana, sin incluir viajes y alojamiento. Hemos creado esta página para brindarles a los muchos amigos y familiares de José la oportunidad de ayudar. Esperamos y rezamos para que esto le cambie la vida.

Ha trabajado toda su vida para mantener a su familia, y ahora es nuestro turno. Este GoFundMe ha sido creado para ayudar a aliviar algunas de las cargas financieras para que podamos buscar los tratamientos necesarios que nos ayuden a extender el tiempo que tenemos con él. Es un luchador y no dejaremos de luchar por él.

Gracias a todos por su apoyo en este momento difícil. Significa mucho para José y para nosotros.
