Just a couple of months ago, 26-year old Roberto Blas would wake up every morning and go out to cut yards to support his family. Today, he lies bedridden inside a tiny 2-bedroom house on Milam St. in San Benito, barely able to move while his wife Azucena Gonzales sits nearby and clutches his hand dearly. When she’s not by his side, she’s out selling candy apples to try and raise money for the family.
However, she’s not raising money to put food on the table, or to keep the lights on; she’s raising money to save her beloved husband’s life. That’s because just over a month ago, Roberto was diagnosed with both stage 4 intestinal and liver cancer.

    Is there a GoFund me page set up for the family? If not, please ask them to set one up, I’m willing to donate to help out. Is there a place that I can go to, to donate?
    Hang in there Sir, the community will come together.
