Help Luis with his fight with cancer

Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Brook Garza, wife of Luis Fortanelli. On June 26, I took my husband to the emergency room for pain in his left knee. At the Emergency room, they were able to do a X-ray and inform us of the possibility of Luis having Osteosarcoma. Today, July 26, after patiently waiting and visiting several doctors over this past month, we have confirmed our worst fear. Luis has Stage Four Osteosarcoma. The cancer has metastasized greatly in the past month, from his left femur to his arm, renal region and lungs. My husband was informed to stay off of his leg because there is a possibility that it may break due to the damage the cancer has caused. Therefore, he is unable to ambulate and function normally without immense pain. Due to his prognosis, amputation is a possibility that we must be prepared for. Luis is not only a loving husband but, an amazing father to our two children; Oliver and Cade, and his two step-children Liliana and Henry. He is adored and loved deeply by his coworkers, family, friends, and anyone he crosses paths with. As a family, we have a big fight ahead of us. We appreciate any help toward Luis’s medical and transportation bills. Thank you so much for your time and please, keep my husband and our family in your prayers.
