Expenses that they thought we were going to be covered no longer are. So Lyz needs our help. Please help by donating to cover the costs of brain surgery in California, as well as aiding in the coverage of travel and lodging for them and their family for the 12 days they will be in San Diego.

**Sensitive story**

Last year, early April, I get a call from my dear friend Luke. He says he’s confused. Had a work mtg in front of 75 people. All the sudden couldn’t gather his thoughts, couldn’t speak. Had to leave abruptly. Super embarrassed and concerned, he says to me I think I had a panic attack. We talk about it. Talk to my wife. Few days go by and he gets to the Dr. has an MRI done.
BOOM! His world is rocked! Tells me that he has a large stage 4 aggressive #braincancer #glioblastoma tumor in his head about! 3 days later he has a surgical resection.
That was 13 months ago, 2 resections, 2 chemo and radiation stints, countless drugs, seizures, debilitations, along the way. Until this last Monday. Luke had passed away, RIP. He isn’t suffering anymore, thankfully. He was a fighter thru and thru. 48yrs young. #fuckcancer you took my dear friend!!!

The Trump Admin deported a 10 yr old girl recovering from #BrainCancer along w/ 5 of her siblings & her parents. The girl & four of her siblings are United States citizens while the parents are undocumented. #Immigration authorities removed the young girl & her 4 American siblings from Texas, when their #undocumented parents were deported to #Mexico. Now, the family fears that the disruption in her medical care could have life-threatening consequences
