Oscar's family needs help
- Our friend Oscar Ramirez is rapidly losing his battle with an aggressive cancer.
- His wife Sulay and their family are doing what they can to care for him, but are finding it hard to make ends meet.
- Since coming to Canada from Colombia in 2010, both have worked hard at cleaning, landscaping, painting and odd jobs in order to support themselves and their family.
- With Oscar too sick to work, Sulay has lost many of her cleaning clients because she needs to navigate Oscar's many appointments, chemotherapy, surgery, and now end of life care.
- They don't have supplementary health insurance or other sources of financial support, which adds a significant burden at this most difficult of times.
- Anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated to help cover:
- medications and uninsured health care expenses
- rent
- living costs
La familia de Oscar necesita ayuda
- Nuestro amigo Oscar Ramírez está perdiendo rápidamente su batalla contra un cáncer agresivo.
- Su esposa Sulay y su familia están haciendo todo lo posible por cuidarlo, pero les resulta difícil llegar a fin de mes.

- Cualquier contribución que puedas hacer será muy bienvenida para
