MIDLAND, TEXAS - Meet Rene Valdez, a Midland man who's been surviving on the streets and now with lung cancer.

"They told that it's maybe a 40-percent chance that I don't come back. And I wanna say goodbye to my best friends," Rene Valdez said.

His best friends at Church Under the Bridge-Midland, a local homeless and low-income outreach ministry that aims at helping those in need.

"They were the ones that were there for me, all the time," Valdez said.

When volunteers heard about Valdez's diagnoses, they decided to help, posting on Facebook that they were working to get Valdez a plane ticket to Scottsdale, Arizona to get treatment.
