My name is Laura Estela, and I am an active member of ICOC in Saltillo, Mexico. In 2018, I took a significant step in my spiritual journey by becoming a disciple and receiving baptism. Since then, I have been actively involved in various church activities, including volunteering in childcare alongside my fellow sisters.

In early 2019, my life took an unexpected turn. I noticed a small lump on the left side of my neck. Initially, I dismissed it as a minor issue, but as time passed, the lump grew larger. Concerned about my health, I sought medical attention. After undergoing a series of tests and evaluations, I received a devastating diagnosis: stage 4 papillary cancer. The news hit me, and I felt overwhelmed by fear and uncertainty. Despite the daunting diagnosis, I was determined to fight this battle.

I needed a treatment plan that included radioactive iodine therapy, which was unavailable in my city. This meant traveling to other states for treatment, adding to the already mounting medical expenses. The financial burden was immense. My husband, relatives, and church community generously offered their support, but the costs remained overwhelming. Each month, I faced an average of $6,000 in expenses for consultations, tests, medications, and travel. Despite the challenges, I remain hopeful and determined to overcome this obstacle. I am seeking financial assistance to cover the ongoing medical expenses. Your generosity would alleviate the financial strain and allow me to focus on my health and recovery. Thank you for considering my request.

My name is José Carlos. I was baptized on May 12, 1991, at Triangle Church of Christ in North Carolina, United States, while pursuing my master's degree at Duke University. That same year, upon completing my studies, I returned to my hometown in Mexico and joined the newly planted mission, the Church of Christ in Guadalajara, Jalisco. I even served as a church administrator for many years. During this time, my sister was baptized, and I met my wife, whom I later married. We have been married for 26 years, and God has blessed us with a son, Ian, who is now 23 years old and has been a disciple for five years.

In March 2021, I was diagnosed with a Stage 2 Metastatic Neuroendocrine Tumor, possibly originating in the stomach. Since then, I have undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and immunotherapy treatments. I have been fortunate to have comprehensive medical insurance, as well as the unwavering emotional, spiritual, and physical support of my family and church, for which I am deeply grateful. I am convinced of God's compassion for my life, as I have remained stable throughout this ordeal.

I once again turn to God and to you, my brothers and sisters, to seek your support, this time also financially. After two years of medical expenses, my insurance has reached its limits and can no longer cover my ongoing medical needs. My current income is insufficient to cover my doctor's visits, medical tests, and medication. I am humbly reaching out to you, requesting your assistance in covering my medication expenses for the next few months. The cost of medication is substantial, and any contribution you can make would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your generosity. I will be forever grateful for your help.

My name is Oscar, and I have been a devoted member of the ICOC church in Mexico for the past three decades. Throughout my time at ICOC, I have had the privilege of serving in various ministries, including the Singles Ministry, where I met my beloved wife, Mary. We have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, Ingrid.

This year, however, our family has faced a challenging medical situation involving our precious Ingrid. Since the tender age of 2, she has been battling severe allergies and other respiratory issues. These conditions have, unfortunately, led to a deformation in her jaw, jeopardizing several organs, including her hearing. Ingrid has been diagnosed with Craniocerebral anomaly, hypoplasia of the middle third of the jaw, a condition that requires corrective maxillofacial (jaw) surgery.

To address this urgent medical need, we sought the expertise of a team of specialist doctors, including Otolaryngologists, Orthodontists, and Maxillofacial surgeons, who have been closely monitoring her condition and developing a comprehensive treatment plan. While we are grateful for their guidance, the financial burden of Ingrid's treatment has become overwhelming. Despite working tirelessly at two jobs, seven days a week, and without neglecting our church commitments, we are unable to cover the mounting medical expenses. Our family and friends have generously extended their support, but it is still not enough to meet the escalating costs.

With a heavy heart, I humbly reach out to you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, for your compassionate assistance. We are seeking financial support of $1,000 USD to help us bridge the gap and provide Ingrid with the life-changing surgery she desperately needs. Your generosity would not only alleviate our financial strain but also give us immense peace of mind, knowing that we are not alone in this difficult journey. Your contributions would be a testament to the love and unity that bind us together as members of the Family of believers. Thank you for taking the time to consider our plea. May God bless you abundantly for your unwavering support and prayers.
