Local toddler battles cancer diagnosis

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A local family could use community support as they battle a toddler's cancer diagnosis.

Three-year-old Emiliano Mendoza has been going through chemo at the Children's Hospital in Phoenix. The Mendoza family has been going through a hardship trying to keep up with family, medical, and travel expenses.

Mendoza's cousin, Isabel Rodriguez, says any community prayers and support helps.

"Through this situation like even just prayers or just keep them in your thoughts," said cousin Isabel Rodriguez. "The family- they've been trying to stay closer than ever. They're just driven together at this moment because it's one of the most hardest times they face in their lives."

The family created a GoFundMe to help with all around expenses like medical and travel. If you would like to help support, you can find the GoFundMe link here.
