Hi, I’m Ruben and I was diagnosed with a rare cancer called glioma of the spine. Unfortunately, the tumor left me paralyzed from the chest down, and it can be aggressive. There’s a possibility I would only have 6 months to a year if I don’t get proper treatment. I already went through radiation; now we’re looking into the next steps. I am feeling extremely hopeful and strong, though.
Since I haven’t been able to work, I haven’t had a source of income. I am currently hoping and waiting for some sort of disability pay. I usually don’t ask for help and am able to help myself, but just not in this situation. At the moment, I am unable to discharge from the hospital to get the rehabilitation I need because I don’t have a proper living environment to go to afterward.
The donation would help me afford a suitable place to stay and also help me with other necessities such as bills, equipment, and food for a proper diet to beat this cancer. Prayers are also accepted because despite all things, God is still good, and everything is appreciated.
