Evacuate and Heal Hugo

Following intense global public outcry and extensive search efforts, US citizen and Border Angels human rights activist Hugo Castro was found alive on Tuesday, April 19th! Yet, while thankfully he is not another statistic in a country where thousands disappear each year, he is far from safe. Hugo appears to have been the victim of a serious and violent crime. He has sustained severe injuries and remains in critical condition. We are unable to release further information at this time, as we believe his life is still at risk and ask that the public refrain from speculation.

Due to his precarious medical condition, and the very real possibility that his life remains in danger, it is urgent that Hugo obtain secure paramedic transportation back to the United States as soon as possible. However, even in such extreme cases, the U.S. Embassy does not provide financial assistance for medical transport, which in this case is a breathtakingly high amount. As a result, Hugo must rely on the generosity of supporters like you, friends, and colleagues, to raise the funds for his immediate safe evacuation.

Please, give whatever you can to help us get Hugo to safety in the U.S. as quickly as possible. I will withdraw the donations and give them directly to Hugo to cover paramedic transport and medical recovery costs. 
PLEASE DO NOT ALLOW THIS TERRIBLE ACT OF VIOLENCE TO SILENCE HUGO'S VOICE OR DICTATE HIS RECOVERY.

As Hugo's family, we thank you deeply for supporting a man who saves the lives of those he has never met, asking nothing in return.
