Two tumors, surgeries, and medications have forced 40-year-old Ismael Franco out of work for the time being, and now his coworkers are asking Denver7 Gives viewers to help him make ends meet.
BRIGHTON, Colo — A family in Brighton has learned just how much life can throw at them, after their father and breadwinner has fought two brain tumors in the past two years.
“I had like, stroke symptoms, where I lost complete signal to the left side of my body,” Franco recalled. “Went to the ER, and they ran an MRI, and they found a brain bleed.” “He can’t drive when he’s on steroids,” wife Lauren Franco explained. “So, he can’t go to work. And then on top of it, [he’s] dealing with heavy machinery which is really dangerous.”
The Francos said they could really use help making their rent and utilities payments while Ismael is out of work. The time spent with reduced income so far has already eaten away at their savings, they said. But, they’re choosing to be hopeful that they will have many happy and healthy years ahead as a family.
