RAISE A FINGER TO CANCER…AGAIN!
One of my philosophies is “If you do not ask, you will never know.”
Click here now to find out what I am asking: Help Juan Carlos
Now, if you are interested to learn more, read below for background information.
In September of 2009, I started a campaign against cancer. While still in Honduras we learned that a young friend there was diagnosed with Liposarcoma . After learning a family member had breast cancer right before we left the United States, this new news pushed me over the edge .

Sorry if I offend anyone by this photo, but, really, this is how I feel.

Since that blog post, I did a mass research and emailing to doctors in the United States to find someone who could remove Juan Carlos’ tumor. I got the attention of 3, count that, 3 head of surgeries of large hospitals around the U.S. They, with their busy schedules, personally emailed me. I thought I was communicating with angels on earth! After I got all the medical reports and copied all radiology done on Juan Carlos, I sent it all to these doctors. Two said they could do the surgery no problem with the help of their teams. Now, I started to believe in miracles! Until I was told I would have to wire $100,000.00 to the hospital first. What? The doctors were nice and said they could forego getting paid for their services, but the hospitals would not do that. 100K, sure, let me get my pen!
After that I was a bit down, but I decided to not let that stop me! Angels on earth and miracles can happen! I went into search mode for the money, but it is too hard to get a grant for that much money for one person!
Then friends that are from France (friends of ours and Juan Carlos) set it up that they could send him there as a student and he could get the medical help he needed. Thank goodness for France’s nice socialized medical system. A friend of a friend here even mentioned that he should go to a hospital in LA where they never refuse help, but those two plans did not pan out.
Then Juan Carlos, in his positive persistent way, met an angel from Cuba. Please click on the immediately below link to read about the rest of Juan Carlos’ story and how you can help!
