Daniel and Ashley Velez grew up in Falmouth and have three beautiful children: Scarlett age 6, Harmony, age 3, and Tristian, age 2. Daniel is the sole provider for the family, working with disabled children at the May Institute. This summer, this family’s world was turned upside down when their youngest child Tristan, was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer.
This month, Tristan is receiving chemo in Boston to try and save his life. To be together and stay with Tristan during his treatments, the family will move to the Ronald McDonald House in Boston.
With time away from work and home, unanticipated childcare expenses for their two daughters, and medical bills piling up, the family fears losing their housing if they can’t remain current with 
the rent. Emotional stress for this family is high.
As the holiday bustle begins, let’s lift this family up and help them through a difficult time. $2,000 will allow Daniel and Ashley to focus on their son’s health, keep their family together, ensure they have a home to return to, and ease their burden at what should be a joyous time of year. We invite you to “Give Where U Live” to help this local family today.
Sixty percent of our local families are one setback away from a financial crisis. All contributions in excess of this week’s goal will be invested to help other local families in need.
Help This Family Today!
This family is in need of your support. Please donate to this family to make their holiday a bit brighter this season.
