Here at GiveForward, we see fundraisers starting everyday by loved ones wanting to support a family member who is going through a medical crisis. However, there is one fundraiser on the site that isn?t just for one person, but 3 members of one family battling cancer at the same time. We chose The Castillo Family Battling Cancer as this week?s staff pick as a chance to send all three members bravely battling cancer lots of love and positive vibes to get well soon!
In 2004, Lilia was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. Even after extensive radiation and surgeries, the cancer spread to her lungs and bones. A mere 5 years later in 2009, her brother, Marco, was diagnosed with Lymphoma of the throat. Marco is selflessly volunteering as a cancer research patient at M.D. Anderson Cancer Treatment Center in Houston in hopes that he can contribute to finding a cure for this terrible disease. Living through this is the matriarch of the Castillo family, Beatriz. Unfortunately, Beatriz was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. A fundraiser has been created in hopes of alleviating some of the debt that each Castillo family member faces as a result of their illnesses. Like so many cancer patients, their surgeries, treatments, doctor?s visits, and medications make it difficult for each person to stay afloat. Lilia, Marco, and Beatriz struggle to pay for their daily living expenses that are now coupled with their amounting medical bills. Throughout their family ordeals, every member of the Castillo family remains optimistic and embraces every new day with rejuvenated morale and hope.
Everyone at GiveForward is sending the entire Castillo family lots of love and positive vibes, and we encourage you to check out their GiveForward page and show your support!
