Help Our Papa Heal: Supporting His Cancer Treatment & Stroke Recovery

Our dear Papa Chito has been fighting one health battle after another for several years, and today, our family is humbly reaching out for help.

In 2019, our Papa was diagnosed with Cutaneous Marginal Zone Lymphoma, which has since progressed to Stage 4. In April this year, he was also diagnosed with Lung Adenocarcinoma, which has now also progressed to Stage 4. His journey has been made even more difficult by multiple strokes, with the most recent one occurring just this August and affecting his speech and motor skills. He also came close to experiencing heart failure last year and now relies on a pacemaker to help regulate his heart rhythm.

Despite everything he has been through, our Papa continues to fight. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy and immunotherapy, while also receiving various therapies to help him recover from the effects of his stroke. His ongoing treatments, medications, hospital visits, diagnostic tests, therapy sessions, and other medical needs have resulted in rapidly increasing expenses.

After years of treatment and hospitalization, our family’s financial resources are becoming increasingly strained. We are doing everything we can to continue providing Papa with the care and treatment he needs, but the costs have become more than we can manage on our own.

At this time, we are humbly asking for your support. Any amount, no matter how small, would make a meaningful difference to our family. Your generosity will help us cover Papa’s ongoing cancer treatments, medications, therapy sessions, medical tests, hospital and doctor expenses, and other essential healthcare needs.

If you’re unable to donate, we completely understand. Sharing our fundraiser with your family and friends would also be a tremendous help. Every donation, share, prayer, and kind message gives us hope and strength as we continue to walk through this difficult journey with Papa.

Our Papa has spent his life taking care of our family. Now, we are doing everything we can to take care of him and give him the chance to continue fighting.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read Papa’s story and for standing with our family during this difficult chapter. To everyone who continues to pray for our Papa every day, please know how deeply grateful we are. Your prayers, kindness, generosity, and support mean more to us than words can express. 🙏🏻❤️

With hope, faith, and love, we continue to pray for our Papa’s healing, strength, and recovery. 🙏🏻💚🤍🎗️

With love and gratitude,

The Custodio Family
