Support Lalo's Recovery from Rare Post Radiation Infection

Dear family and friends,

We never anticipated facing this challenge. It's difficult for us to ask for help, as we're not accustomed to being in this position. However, we humbly request your assistance. As some of you know, our beloved father, Avelardo (Lalo) Bautista, was diagnosed with throat cancer and underwent successful chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Sadly, he developed a rare, post-radiation infection, leading to a tracheostomy due to airway complications. Those familiar with our father know his hardworking nature and generous spirit. He consistently works seven days a week and is always busy. Always spending his days at the shop from sun up to sun down. He is selfless and possesses a extremely kind heart. Due to this procedure, he'll be hospitalized for the next ten days and unable to perform the strenuous work he does for a good while. We kindly ask our friends, family, and any other compassionate individuals to help our father during the next few months until he can return to work. He wouldn't approve of this, but we understand his worry about providing for his family and the frustrations it causes him when his health prevents him from doing so. Our hope is to reduce his stress in hopes of expediting his recovery so he can resume his work and spend time with loved ones. Any contribution would be deeply appreciated. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

With love,

The Bautista Family.
