Manuel is a 38-year-old father living in Guatemala who was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in January 2017. He was diagnosed after being seen for fatigue and generalized malaise. Since his diagnosis, his nine siblings and their families have gathered frequently to pray, eat, and offer their support. He acknowledges his fortune to have a strong support network, including his wife, son, and infant daughter who was born in December.
Manuel’s treatment plan includes radiotherapy and chemotherapy, which costs $1,487. He works as an auto mechanic, and he needs outside help to pay for his expensive cancer treatment.
Treatment will begin on March 27. Following his recovery, Manuel looks forward to returning to his work. This support will enable Manuel to get the treatment he needs.

Manuel underwent radiation and chemotherapy.
Manuel has been receiving regular radiation therapy to combat cancer. The sessions have been wearying, but they are helping to reduce the size of his tumor. With continued treatment, we are confident that Manuel will continue to get better and healthier.
Manuel says, “I thank you for the support you have brought me during this time in my life, even if it has not been easy. Thanks to God I am leaving this illness behind. During these months my recovery has been slow but thanks to the love of my family and your accompaniment the fight goes on. Thank you very much for your help.”
