Photography For a Cause Esophageal Cancer ~ Ruben Padilla
Starting today Friday, December 4th through Tuesday, December 8th, Autumn, B, Emma, Sarah and I are hosting a 5 day fine art photograph print sale via Photography For a Cause where 100% of print profits will be donated to my father-in-law, Ruben Padilla’s medical expenses!

Ruben was diagnosed with esophageal cancer this past summer. For the past several months, Brisa and I have traveled back to Southern California to visit Ruben on every free weekend that we have had. He’s gone through 6 weeks of intensive chemotherapy and radiation. On Wednesday, December 16th, he is scheduled for surgery at USC. We were told that the surgery should last between 8-12 hours and will require at least two weeks of hospitalization afterwards. Following surgery, the recovery will take at least 4-6 months. I am hoping to use the print profits from this Photography For a Cause to help Ruben pay for his expenses during this time. From the diagnosis through the treatments, Ruben has remained his affable self. Brisa and I have enjoyed spending so much time with him lately and we are encouraged that the surgery will help him regain his strength and energy. He has always been incredibly supportive of my photography and me and I just want to help him in any way that I can. Thank you for your support and for your prayers. Both are equally appreciated!
