Help for the Serrano-Mendez family

Donation protected
Hi, my name is Yalitza Luna, I'm creating this campaign in order to collect funds to help my sister Francy, her husband Jainer, her daughter Valentina (1 year old) and his son Christopher (will born November 2016) to cover their basics necessities (food, house and transportation) after they find out that their son was diagnostic with Spine Bifida three weeks ago.

1.    “Spine Bifida: Meningocele. This is the rarest form. In this condition, the meninges push out through the gap in the spine. This creates a sac filled with fluid (called a meningocele) on the baby’s back. There’s usually little or no nerve damage, but some babies may have problems controlling their bladder and bowels. Surgery can remove the meningocele.

This beautiful family used to have a normal life back in their Country, Venezuela, until three weeks ago when their life changed 360 degree and their new life goal was to help their son to born with a normal quality life. They only had two weeks, to travel to Cincinnati, Ohio in USA to The Cincinnati Fetal Center where the baby will have a surgery in order to remove the Meningocele; To collect $75,000.00, surgery cost. After those two weeks if they didn’t made the decision, the baby will no longer a candidate for having the surgery.

Of course, the decision was to travel, they sold all their stuff, car, appliances, everything and at the same time they were desperate looking for help, donations, etc.

Thanks God, a private Foundation in Venezuela, said yes to them and agrees to cover the $75,000.00 surgery cost. They traveled and the surgery was last Friday 08-19-16. Mom Francy and baby Christhoper are OK.

At this moment is when they need our help, Mom and baby need to rest 100% until the Baby born, approx. 14 weeks, they need to rent an apartment, right now they are in a Hotel, they need to eat, and cover their basics for the next 6 to 8 months. Daddy needs to take care of the 1year old daughter and of course Mom and baby. Because of the type of Visa they had, they are not able to work here in USA.

My HOPE is that after all, they can have back their normal life.

If anybody will need all the medical information to verify this situation, I can provide it to you.

No just money is needs; you can help with baby stuff, food and anything that help them. I can provide an address for this kind of donations.

There will be no words in the whole world to THANK YOU, me and my family will be thankful to all of you until the end of our life.

God bless all of you.

Francy, Jainer, Valentina and baby Christopher.
