My name is Delia Guadalupe Zatarain Arias. I am 64 years old and have been a disciple of Christ for 20 years. Twelve years ago, I started using orthopedic devices and special shoes because of a physical condition in my legs that required me to go through several surgeries. A few years later, I was diagnosed with scoliosis, which meant that my spine was deformed in an S-shape. I had to wear an orthopedic device from chin to hip that limited my movements, caused sores on my waist, and had to use it for two years.

Recently, I was diagnosed with an infection in my pancreas known as Malta Fever. Now, I need to take pills every day and get a vaccine regularly. Due to my health condition, I had to leave my job and depend on my husband's work. However, now that my husband is retired, the pension he is receiving is not enough to cover our basic needs and my medication. My husband is 69 years old, and it's challenging for him to find a job because of his age. He is planning to work again so that he can provide for both of us. I am reaching out to ETF for financial assistance in covering my medical bills for the next few months. This will help alleviate the burden of my expenses and allow me to focus on improving my health. Thank you for considering my request.

My name is Lucía Marín at 50 years old, I've been blessed with eight years of marriage to a wonderful husband who supports me through every step of life. My journey of faith began 23 years ago in Mexico City. Six years ago, I moved to Monterrey, where we've built a fulfilling life, though not yet filled with the joys of parenthood. Two months ago, I received a cancer diagnosis in my left breast. Since then, we've navigated numerous stages of testing and treatment, starting with mammograms, ultrasounds, and a biopsy that confirmed the malignancy. Thankfully, I was eligible for a modified radical mastectomy of the left breast and lymph node removal, followed by consultations with various specialists to determine the best treatment plan.

Throughout this process, my faith has been a vital source of strength. I've found solace in prayer and trust in God's will and sovereignty. Despite the challenges, I am grateful for the medical benefits provided by my employer, which have helped alleviate the partial financial burden. However, additional expenses have prompted us to seek financial assistance. One final test, the MammaPrint test, will determine whether chemotherapy or medication will be incorporated into my treatment plan. Through it all, we remain steadfast in our faith and belief that God guides us through challenges and never burdens us beyond our capacity. From the depths of our hearts, we thank you for considering our plea. Your kindness will forever be etched in our memories as a beacon of hope during this difficult time.

My name is Maria. I have been a disciple for 18 years and currently serve in the children's ministry. I have been married to a fellow disciple, Mario Vila Garcia, since 2007. We are blessed with two beautiful children- Yaretzi, who is 11 years old, and Liam Jared, who is 6 years old. Both my husband and daughter are actively serving in the Worship ministry.

On January 4th, I became a victim of fraud. An amount of $259,549 was fraudulently withdrawn from my account. I quickly reported the incident to my bank, who provided support by involving the CONDUSEF Government Institution to investigate my case. The fraudsters had called me pretending to be from HSBC Bank and claimed that my data was being hacked. I was given some information that matched my account and account data, which had already been entered through another electronic means. The Bank has already responded stating that I accepted all the operations that were carried out. They advised me to consult a lawyer to help me with the situation, and the lawyer's fees will be approximately around $20,222 pesos. I have been greatly affected by this incident in so many ways. I am finding it difficult to sleep and constantly feel anxious. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, I am unable to hire a lawyer to help me retrieve my money. My husband's earnings are not enough to cover all of our household expenses, especially when we also have to pay for our kids' schooling. I have exhausted all options to resolve the issue with the bank and recover our money. I am reaching out to ETF to seek support for my family so that we can hire a lawyer and start the legal proceedings. This money is important for securing our children's future.

My name is Omar Camacho Guerrero, a 52-year-old member of the Church of Christ in Monterrey, where I was baptized on September 9, 2012. At the beginning of this year, I faced a persistent stomach illness that led to several medical consultations and treatments, but without the desired effect. After a series of tests, doctors detected a duodenal obstruction, preventing my stomach from receiving food or liquids. This obstruction caused a rapid decline in my health, resulting in a weight loss of over 25 kilos, constant vomiting, and severe esophagitis. Through endoscopies and tomographies, a duodenal tumor was diagnosed.

Four months ago, I underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy, also known as the Whipple procedure. While I'm on the road to recovery, I still require regular checkups, medication, and further tests to monitor the surgery's success and ensure the absence of internal infections or bleeding.

Unfortunately, my current condition prevents me from working and providing for my family. Therefore, I'm humbly reaching out to ETF for financial support to alleviate my medical burden. Your assistance would enable me to sustain the necessary checkups and medications, crucial for my full recovery. Thank you so much and may God Bless you!

My name is Minerva, fifteen years ago my brother introduced me to the Church. I embraced my journey as a disciple finding strength to God. However, my diagnosis came three years ago, and it brought unexpected twists and turns to my life. My doctors advised me to undergo a major surgery called a myomectomy. Because my uterus has rapidly enlarged, currently measuring 176 x 104 x 216 mm, significantly exceeding its normal size. This dramatic change has had a profound impact on my daily life, causing heavy menstrual bleeding, constipation, lower back pain, and other difficulties. Despite the challenges, I haven't lost hope. The doctors assure me that this surgery can significantly improve my quality of life and alleviate the debilitating symptoms. The procedure, including medical consultations, clinical tests and the operation, is estimated to cost approximately $2,500.

This financial burden feels overwhelming, but my faith and the unwavering support of my family keep me going. I am humbly reaching out to the ETF for financial assistance with my surgery. Your generous support would not only ease the financial pressure but also give me the chance to reclaim my health. Every contribution, big or small, can make a difference. Your compassion and generosity can truly change my life and my family's future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my request.

My name is Alejandra, and I've been a faithful disciple of the Tijuana Church for the past 27 years. My sister's invitation led to the beginning of my spiritual journey and my baptism after three months of Bible study. I served in HOPE for a year alongside my husband, and we've dedicated ourselves to teaching in the Children's ministry for several years. Currently, we serve as the ETF Coordinator in Tijuana, Mexico.

Unfortunately, a recent fall left me with an injury in my right shoulder. Initially, I dismissed it as a minor setback, but the pain intensified, and I was recently diagnosed with bilateral acromioclavicular osteoarthritis. This condition, caused by the deterioration of cartilage in the AC joint, has caused me immense discomfort, constant pain, and limited mobility. My doctor has recommended surgery as the best course of treatment, but the financial burden is substantial. The recovery process is expected to take at least six months, requiring extensive physiotherapy.

With a heart full of gratitude, I humbly seek your generous support to overcome the financial burden of my upcoming surgery and recovery. Your kindness will bring immense relief and provide the hope I need during this challenging time.
