Donate to Help my husband with his dream, organized by Catherine Colon

Hello ❤️ my name is Catherine. My husband Edwin Raul and I have been together for 32 years. We have 6 children and 7 grandchildren, one of whom passed sadly at birth. My husband was born and raised in Puerto Rico and moved to Philadelphia when he was 18, which is when we met. He’s been a truck driver for years, and those that know him know that he’d give anyone the shirt off his back if they needed it. He always dreamed of going back to Puerto Rico. Back in October of 2022 we went to Puerto Rico to close on land where we would build our dream home. During that trip, my husband discovered a lump in his testicle. We called our doctor as soon as we got home and he was scheduled for surgery immediately. Everything went well, and we were told that nothing else needed to be done. We then began the plans of building. Check by check, saving here and there and little by little we began to see progress and were so excited, until my husband began to feel ill in March 2024. Fevers, chills and abdominal pain that wouldn’t go away. We went to the ER and he was later admitted with what they thought was an abscess. We later found out it was cancer. It had gotten his lymph node and it was pretty big. He had to start some pretty tough rounds of chemotherapy. Chemo really hit him hard and knocked him down. Our bubbly, funny, sweet, hard working man was not there anymore. He was hospitalized most of the time he was in chemo. He had always been our number one provider. Things were getting hard. Finally, on June 16th, he got to ring that bell. No more chemo!!! Even though he stayed at the hospital for over a week after because he was so sick, we were happy that hopefully, all of this was over. He was finally discharged and we were hoping to begin getting back to some type of normalcy, but that’s not what’s happening. His health has continued to decline and we’ve had to come to the realization that he won’t be able to return to work. That broke him, because if anyone knows him they know that he loves trucking. Sobbing he said, “What if I never get to see my dream?”. Now is where I come to do something I never thought I’d have to do. I want to finish my husband’s dream home… and this will help with the next phase of construction… I want to surprise him and help him see his dream home… Please help! Read more

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.
Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.
Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.
