Hello, everyone.

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for your help for Marvin, who has been courageously fighting cancer for over six years. We recently learned that his condition has progressed, and time is now critical in getting him the specialized care he urgently needs. Marvin is battling T-cell LGL large granular lymphocytic leukemia as well as squamous cell carcinoma. The cancer has now spread behind his ear, beneath his skull, and into his lungs. He currently has four large tumors behind his left ear. Unfortunately, doctors cannot safely operate on his neck until the cancer in his lungs is better controlled. Thsi cancer is very agressive. On top of this, his insurance initially tried to deny his chemotherapy, adding even more stress to an already devastating situation.

After reaching out to multiple cancer centers, we are incredibly grateful that MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston has accepted him as a patient. Their specialists are among the best in the world for treating his conditions, and we truly believe this is his best chance.

We are now asking for help to manage the overwhelming financial burden ahead. His remaining insurance deductible is approximately $11,000, and he will likely need to stay in Houston for an extended period of time. In addition, there will be significant costs for travel, lodging, meals, transportation, and ongoing medical needs. As his family, we are doing everything we can and will be by his side through as many appointments as possible, but we cannot do this alone.

Marvin is the kind of person who has always shown up for others. He is the “dad” everyone turns to, the one who offers support, wisdom, and kindness without hesitation. So many people have leaned on him as a father figure, friend and brother and he has touched countless lives simply by being who he is: generous, steady, and deeply caring.

Now, we are facing the heartbreaking reality that our time with him may be limited. He is everything to his family, and the thought of losing him is something we are not going to accept. We want to give him every possible chance to keep fighting.

If you are able to donate, share this campaign, or keep our dad in your thoughts and prayers, it would mean more to our family than words can express. Every contribution—no matter the size—brings us one step closer to giving Marvin the care he needs and deserves.

We are holding onto hope and fighting for him with everything we have. Thank you for standing with our family. ❤️
