FFF Foundation

In October 2009, Eddie Vela, a US Border Patrol Agent from Mission Texas, formed the Faith-Family-Friends Foundation. The decision to form this Foundation came after he was diagnosed with Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma (Cancer of the Appendix and entire abdominal cavity) in June 2009. The nature of this specific cancer is very aggressive and in most cases, the ability to treat this cancer is limited at best. 

Eddie's hope was to raise awareness for Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma and other cancers of the abdomen. As well, to raise funds to help Border Patrol Agents and other Rio Grande Valley Citizens who have similar incurable cancer diagnosis. Eddie Vela lost his battle with cancer on October 29, 2010 but not without a rigorous fight.  Eddie, along with the Foundation and its Board Members would like to help others have the best fighting chance possible.
