Oscar Ramirez was diagnosed with the condition on Wednesday, July 13, according to a GoFundMe page organized by his wife, Viviana Cuevas. The family requires help to reduce the stress on their finances. 

"Starting off with my son being a gunshot victim at the 4th of July parade in Highland Park, to our toy poodle suffering two broken ribs after being attacked by two pit bulls, on top of all of those feeling, stressed from selling our current home and moving," Cuevas shared. 

"The uncertainty of our family's financial future in the upcoming weeks and even months is feeling more and more severe," she continued. "All of these stressors and traumatic events have left Oscar in the hospital."

"We are frighten as to what's to come next but we are hoping for the best," Cuevas added.
