Hi, my name is Gabriela, and I’m raising funds for my beloved brother, Rafa, who is fighting stage 4 lung cancer with brain and spinal involvement. He is known as a beloved father and family man, a dedicated coach and hospital worker, and an overall outstanding human being.
Rafa was diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer with an EGFR mutation, which has sadly progressed to brain metastases and leptomeningeal disease. Despite the difficult prognosis, he has shown incredible strength through craniospinal radiation, targeted therapies, and physical rehabilitation.
While some treatments are covered by insurance, many life-extending options—including alternative treatments, in-home care, medical equipment, and mobility support—are not. We are currently in need of funds to continue his care and give him the best possible quality of life.
Donations will help pay for:
At-home nursing care and physical therapy
Out-of-pocket medications and supplies
Nutritional support and supplements
Transportation to appointments
Emergency costs and family travel to be with him
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a meaningful impact. If you’re unable to donate, please consider sharing this page. Your kindness, prayers, and support mean the world to us. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
