Juan de Dios is 27 years old and is facing a second battle with a rare and highly aggressive form of cancer known as Ewing sarcoma. Because the disease can progress rapidly, he is undergoing treatment through a private medical institution, where he can receive the care he needs without waiting for the delays he says are common within Mexico’s public healthcare system.
Over the past two years, Juan has already endured an extensive and difficult treatment journey. He has undergone three surgical procedures and completed 42 sessions of chemotherapy as he continues fighting the disease. Despite everything he has experienced, he remains determined to continue his treatment and do everything possible to overcome cancer.
Juan is now raising funds to help pay for 3D radiotherapy in the state of Puebla. This treatment represents another important stage in his ongoing fight against the disease, but the financial cost has created an additional challenge for him and his family. After radiotherapy, he expects to undergo additional chemotherapy sessions and may also need another surgical procedure, depending on how his condition progresses and how his medical team evaluates his response to treatment.
For Juan, this campaign is about much more than covering medical expenses. He is asking for help because he wants the opportunity to keep fighting and return to the life he enjoyed before cancer disrupted his plans. He remembers being someone who loved exercising, playing soccer and working, and he hopes to regain not only his physical strength but also the peace and sense of normalcy he once had.
At just 27, Juan says he has an enormous desire to live and to become the person he was before this illness. His journey has already involved years of demanding treatment, surgeries and chemotherapy, yet he continues to look toward the future with determination. The financial support he is seeking could help him access the radiotherapy and subsequent care he needs as he continues his fight.
Juan is asking friends, relatives, members of his community and anyone willing to help to contribute to his treatment expenses. Every donation, regardless of its size, could help ease the financial burden associated with his ongoing care. For those who are unable to donate, sharing his fundraising appeal may also help reach people who can provide assistance.
Juan’s message is ultimately one of hope and gratitude. He is asking for an opportunity to continue fighting for his life, return to the activities he loves and regain his peace of mind. After enduring three surgeries and 42 chemotherapy sessions over the past two years, he is determined not to give up. His appeal is simple: today he is asking for help, with the hope that tomorrow he can be in a position to help someone else.
