Their story — in their own words

Gabriel is only 5 years old and has already faced battles no child should have to face. At 4 months old he was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a childhood eye cancer.

After overcoming that first battle, his family received devastating news: Gabriel had developed a brain tumor (pineoblastoma). Roughly 11 months of treatment followed, marked by fear, pain, and unwavering faith.

Recently, the family was told that a new tumor has appeared. Doctors at home said curative options may no longer exist. Gabriel's parents refuse to give up before trying everything within their reach.

Funds will help cover domestic and international travel, hospital-adjacent lodging, additional exams, and any treatments a specialized center may accept.

Every contribution — no matter how small — helps this family go further. Thank you for believing in Gabriel.
