Hernandez Family Car Accident
Donation protected
Carlos Hernandez is a deeply loved husband, father, brother, grandfather, uncle, friend and Deacon. Anyone who knows him understands his passion for giving back to those in need. In addition to his dedicated career at Ridgewells Catering in Bethesda, Carlos spends his free time supporting the Little Sisters of the Poor, volunteering at Walter Reed Medical Center by providing prayers and counseling to our nations Veterans, and as a member participating in his local Knights of Columbus, etc.
On Saturday, February 11, 2017 around 5:30pm, Carlos was on his way to St. Michael's Catholic Church in Silver Spring, where he is a Deacon, when he was involved in a serious car accident.
Carlos was turning left onto Denfeld Avenue off of Connecticut Avenue, when he was t-boned by a reckless driver.
Carlos is currently in critical condition at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda. His injuries include: a fractured skull, fractured hip, bleeding in the brain (update: the bleeding in the brain has stopped), loss of mobility in his right arm (update: mobility is there, but limited in both arms), among other serious issues.
As a result of this tragedy, the Hernandez family is facing a long and difficult road to Carlos' recovery. The family also faces the reality of high medical expenses, as well as loss of spousal income, as his wife remains by his side at the hospital. Furthermore, Carlos' ability to return to work remains unclear.
By creating this campaign, it is our hope that we can ease the family's financial worries so they can wholly focus on Carlos' recovery. Any contributions would be deeply appreciated. The family also wishes that you will keep Carlos close to your heart and in your prayers.
If you would like to donate in a way other than GoFundMe, please contact Msgr. Tolentino at St. Michael's Catholic Church in Silver Spring, MD.

GoFundMe has asked I give some more information about myself, since I set up this account. My name is Alex, I've dated Carlos' middle son Mark for almost 10 years. Carlos is like a father to me. I helped set up this GoFundMe while Josie, Chuck, Mark and Joe take care of Carlos in the hospital. All funds collected will go towards Carlos' medical bills and other household bills Carlos and Josie have.
