Juan Rosario's Fight
Our dear brother in Christ and my best friend of 10 years- Juan was diagnosed this past week with stage 3 acute myeloid leukemia. Unfortunately, his cancer is exacerbated by a pre-existing condition and unfortunately his insurance does not cover all that he currently needs for care. Juan is currently homebound aside from his chemotherapy and attendance at Holy Mass.
Last year, Juan's mother died of a drug overdose and has left Juan with the spiritual/financial responsibility of his 9-year-old little sister who is currently residing in the Dominican Republic with him.
Our dear Juan is very known and very loved within the Archdiocese of Detroit and has been active in hispanic/latino ministry, black catholic ministry, youth ministry and even assisting in many different ministries that have helped women rescued from human trafficking. Putting others first and willing to assist anyone in need is one of Juan's many God-given qualities. Having formerly served as an Oblate of St Benedict, Juan has taken the call to hospitality to heart! In the past year, Juan has suffered the death of his mother, a tragic accident that almost left him an invalid and now cancer. I, being his best friend and my family who have taken Juan as one of our own in the past 10 years have no doubt that the Lord is calling our brother to sanctity.
On behalf of our dear Juan we ask you to please consider donating to help cover costs of his treatments, home care and needs of his younger sister. May God Bless you for your generosity and we entrust Juan to the intercession of St Peregrine and Mother Angelica!

I'm praying for you. Godspeed. Pray for me.
Got the link from Master Samwise. I hope this helps and that more will contribute! May God restore your health to normal, Juan!
Good luck, and let's hope one day that our healthcare doesn't rest on the backs of crowd funding websites.

Praying to God, that you recoger, Even if it's slowly, nothing that we do is sustained if God doesnt want it.
Prayers for healing and peace for you and your family. Master Samwise brought me here and I hope this will help in some small way.
From Samwise, like others! My heart skipped a beat when I saw his sister's name is Kassidy (the name of our daughter). Praying for you all to have a miraculous recovery and for God's hands to hold, shelter and comfort you and your family!

A blessed Easter to All!
Juan has officially decided to not continue chemotherapy treatment and opt for a natural treatment instead. He unfortunately will have to have a piece of a lobe of his lung removed due to infection. This fundraiser will now be to raise for his upcoming surgery of a cost of 11,000 US dollars of which we have raised over $3000 and of course for the daily care of young Kassidy. Juan will soon return to the US with Kassidy to start the ivermectin treatment that he has consulted health professionals on and is excited to start.
Please continue to pray and we will update this campaign after his lung surgery.

Blessed Feast if St. James to all! Juan has recently had to return to the Dominican Republic with his family who are willing to care for him, he sadly has no immediate family in the states who are willing to take up such a task. He is still high in spirit and joy! He will be continuing his treatment meanwhile in DR. I will continue to update everyone as soon as possible! Funny enough, Juan was born in a city called Santiago de Los Caballeros-which translates to St. James of the Knights. Let us keep our brother in prayer!
St. James, Pray for us!

Blessed Feast of the Precious Blood to all! Juan and myself are overflowed with all of your generosity and charity! Juan is in high spirits after several sessions of chemo. He even laughs at the fact of his hair falling out slowly and lovingly jokes that he can not take anything seriously. He thanks all of you for the overflow of love and solidarity and asks your continuous prayers for God's will in his life.
I will have all of you updated soon! Lets keep praying for our brother!
