The family of Mexican footballer Enrique Alfaro, a multi-champion with Toluca, launched a fundraising campaign to cover medical expenses after he was diagnosed with vocal cord cancer. The surgical intervention has already been successful, but the costs derived from the treatment continue, so they launched a campaign through the GoFundMe fundraising site.
They ask for help for Enrique Alfaro's treatments According to the description published in the funding campaign, the Mexican player presented with constant throat discomfort for over a year, which led to various medical studies until a definitive diagnosis was obtained. The condition was detected in an early stage, which allowed for a quick response. The family reported that it was necessary to perform an emergency surgery, in which the cancerous growth was completely removed.

In the message shared, his daughter highlighted that Alfaro is currently in recovery with expectations of returning to good health. The family informed that the former footballer has already overcome the surgical stage and is in the recovery process.

Notable contributions exceeding 35,000 dollars. The call to the community remains active, as each contribution seeks to cover the medical expenses after the intervention. Additionally, the family states that sharing the campaign also helps to increase its reach and contributions. The objective of the collection is to cover the expenses generated by the urgent operation, as well as the necessary subsequent care for his rehabilitation.
