ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- An 11-year-old Mexican boy who had portions of a massive tumor removed in New Mexico is living comfortably in an Albuquerque suburb with his family as he prepares for more treatment.
Jose Antonio Ramirez Serrano and his family are staying in a rented Rio Rancho home thanks to donations from church members, Kristean Alcocer of the First Baptist Church of Rio Rancho said Thursday.
Alcocer said members also helped the family with the purchase of a used van.
"The father was granted a one-year temporary work visa," Alcocer said. "He is thankful for the financial help he has thus far received but as he told Gov. Martinez, he wants to be able to provide for his family."
