A HOME THAT Held Us

Before illness reshaped their lives, Roberto Molina and his wife, Teresa, lived a simple, steady life in Honduras. Roberto worked as a dentist in his own clinic. Their days were full, familiar, and predictable in the best way. Then in 2020, during the quiet and isolation of the pandemic, Roberto began noticing changes: weight loss, fatigue, and a small lump near his right kidney that only appeared when he stood up. What followed was a cascade of scans, referrals, and finally, surgery. The tumor was removed along with his right kidney. For a time, they believed they were past the worst.
