Please help my brother with his cancer prostate operation

Meet my brother, Rafael Matos a 57 year old man in need of a prostate cancer operation. This humble Man has been a great son to my mother, a great husband to his wife and wonderful father and the best brother anyone can have. He and his compassionate wife Myriam have been taking care of our bedridden 91 year old mother for the past 16 years. He has worked in the same job for over 40 years without employer health benefits and now unfortunately the government health plan doesn't cover the complete cost of this operation. He has been struggling with various health conditions and issues besides cancer all his life and ever since I can remember and now he is battling this horrendous decease. The cost of this operation is $17,000 of which we are trying to raise the amount of $14,000.00 since Rafael has managed to raise $3,000 and in and his wife are also selling pasteles and doing raffles in order help reach the goal.

The Surgeon conducting the operation is Dr. Ricardo Sanchez at San Pablo Hospital in Bayamon PR. I'm hereby reaching out to the kind hearted people of the world to contribute so my brother Rafael can get this surgery. I know with God all things are possible and thank you very much for your help.
