Support for Manuel and Freddy Rojas

If you have ever stepped foot in St. A's you have probably been greeted by Freddy's smile (usually followed by a big hug or an arepa). Last week his son, Manuel, was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma, and is due to start chemotherapy this week.

All Freddy asks for is prayers for Manuel's healing, and he has given permission to many of us to reach out to family and friends to enlist support. The more people praying the better, and he says he is very grateful for all of you. Manuel had just started classes with a scholarship for this Fall semester in Jacksonville. Freddy says they are blessed and God will help them overcome these obstacles.

If you are able to contribute financially, we know that Freddy and his family would be greatly appreciative and that it will make a huge impact in Manuel's life.

Please consider donating here on GoFundMe or sending a check (ATTN: Freddy Rojas) directly to St Augustine Church and Catholic Student Center , 1738 W. University Ave., Gainesville, FL 32603.

With Freddy's permission we will continue to share updates. Thank you for supporting Manuel and his family in this time.
