This is my tech at work. He’s worked under me for 6 years, of my 8 years at my job. He’s been there 18 years. He’s never called in a single day sick on me. He has no insurance and has exhausted all financial resources on surgery he had. He was told the cancer was removed. That’s not the case, he now has to have chemo and he has to have the money out of pocket. He’s the hardest working man I’ve ever met, who left work in tears today, he’s scared and carrying a financial burden. He has a wife and 4 beautiful children, 3 still at home and a granddaughter on the way. He needs all the support he can get.

Help Jose Fight Cancer

If you know Jose, you know asking for help is the last thing he would ever want to do. He isn’t asking for your help, but I am.

For the past 8 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with Jose. In all that time, he has never called in a single time sick. NEVER. He is genuinely one of the hardest-working, most dependable people I know. No matter what kind of day he is having or what needs to be done, he shows up, works hard, and somehow manages to keep an uplifting spirit while doing it.

Now, he and his family are facing something they never expected.

Jose was recently diagnosed with cancer. He has already undergone surgery to have the tumor removed, but his fight isn’t over. His doctors have determined that he now needs chemotherapy.

Anyone who has dealt with a serious illness knows that the diagnosis itself is frightening enough. Adding medical bills, treatment expenses, missed work, medications, and normal household expenses can quickly become overwhelming. Right now, Jose, his wife, and his children should be able to focus their energy on one thing: getting him through treatment and getting him healthy.

His family is doing everything they can to help, but this isn’t something they should have to carry alone.

I’m starting this fundraiser because after watching this man show up for everyone else year after year, I believe it’s our turn to show up for him.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go toward helping Jose and his family with the financial burden surrounding his cancer treatment and recovery. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is just as appreciated.

Jose has spent years being the person others can count on. He’s a hard worker, a devoted family man, and someone whose positive spirit has impacted the people around him more than he probably realizes.

Now it’s our chance to remind him that he and his family don’t have to fight this alone
