I write to you to ask for support with a situation that is very near and dear to me.  My name is Ivoneth Mendez-Garcia and this is my little brother Lorenzo Mendez.  

Lorenzo, age 31, is the youngest of my 2 brothers and he was recently diagnosed with a very rare and aggressive form of lymphoma known as Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (ALCL).  

This has been quite the year of trials and tribulation for our family as in June of this year our father was diagnosed with metastatic lung cancer and he passed away only 6 weeks after diagnosis. We did not even have an opportunity to provide him with treatment as the cancer was too advanced.  Ever since Lorenzo's diagnosis, I have made it my #1 priority to insure we do everything we can!  We are currently looking at alternative methods of treatment and are pending acceptance to the Gerson Clinic in Mexico.  I/we would appreciate your help and support! Please send thoughts and prayers to keep him strong and positive during this time. Thank you!
