In Support of REED'S
Hi everyone,
We’ve created this fundraiser for Jose Reed, my sweet five-year-old son, Carlos, who is facing an unimaginably difficult journey. Carlos has recently been diagnosed with a malignant high-grade glioma located in his brain stem—a rare and aggressive form of cancer. Right now, Carlos is inpatient in a rehab facility and receiving physical, occupational, and speech therapy every day. Even through these challenges, he continues to amaze everyone around him with his strength, spirit, and the beautiful ways he finds to communicate and connect. He teaches us something new every single day.
Starting August 7, Carlos will begin radiation therapy, followed by the possibility of chemotherapy shortly after. This is the start of a long and uncertain road, and we’re rallying support for the Castaneda-Reed family as they focus on what matters most—being by Carlos' side.
Your support, whether through a donation, a prayer, or simply sharing this page, means the world. All funds raised will go directly toward Carlos' medical expenses, ongoing treatment, and the family’s needs during this incredibly tough time. Please keep Carlos, his parents, and his care team in your thoughts and prayers. If you’d like to leave a message for the family, we’d be happy to pass it along. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting Carlos' fight.
