Maria Jose Fernandez's Transplant
Donation protected
My name is Florencia Marsico. I'm looking to raise funds to cover my mother's transplant and her succession of very expensive medications. My mom's name is Maria Fernandez. She's a hardworking woman, a fantastic mom, and a loving wife. In the summer of 2009, she was diagnosed with cirrhosis (severe, irreparable scarring of the liver). Nobody has been able to tell us why or how she has it - she was never a drinker. It is incurable - her only hope of a normal life is to receive a transplant.
She's been doing well, up until a few weeks ago - she became weak, couldn't maintain her balance, and was disoriented. At the visit with her oncologist, we were told that a cancerous mass was found in her liver and that she needed to be put on a transplant list immediately. The insurance does not cover 100% of the costs, nor will it cover any of the numerous medications she will be forced to take after the transplant for the remainder of her life. These medications are expensive, ranging in a total of about $1,000 per month.
My mother cannot work. My father hasn't worked for the past couple months due to my mom can't be left alone - she needs constant care and help. The only ones working are my brother and I, and we cannot hope to cover all the expenses related to my mom's illness. We ask for your help - $1, $5 - anything helps. This was a last resort, but we humbly ask for any donations you can provide.
Thank you for your consideration ❤️
Hola, me llamo Florencia Marsico. Mi mamá se llama María Fernández. En el verano del 2009, fue diagnosticada con cirrosis del hígado (una enfermedad que causa degeneración del órgano) - es incurable. Recientemente, su oncólogo nos informó que le encontraron una masa cancerosa en el hígado, lo cual quiere decir que tiene que ser puesta en la lista de transplante. La aseguranza le cubre solamente parte de los costos (la operación cuesta $350,000USD), y no cubre nada de los gastos de los numerosos medicamentos que va a tener que tomar por el resto de su vida, los cuales están totalizados a $1,000USD mensuales.
Mi mamá ya no puede trabajar más, y mi papá no ha podido trabajar por los últimos meses porque ella requiere atención constante - tiene muchos problemas de balance, necesita ayudar a caminar y a moverse. Los únicos que trabajamos somos yo, y mi hermano mayor. No podemos con todos los gastos solos, entonces humildemente les pedimos ayuda - cualquier cantidad nos ayudaría. Muchas gracias por tomar el tiempo de leer este párrafo.
