En pie de lucha!

Como familia hemos decidido crear esta campaña para apoyar la recuperación total de  Jesus Elorza, quien es esposo, padre y abuelo de nuestro núcleo. 

El día 28 de Junio del presente año sufrió una aparatosa caida accidental que terminó en fractura multiple de tobillo y aporreos menores en distintas partes del cuerpo.
Su atención inmediata estuvo a cargo del cuerpo de rescate 911 hasta arrivar al hospital Mariners en Isla Morada. Alli realizaron las primeras atenciones con un posterior traslado hasta el Baptist Hospital en West Kendall donde  su caso fué referido al Dr. Howard Bar-Eli Ortopedista Especializado en traumas severos y lesiones deportivas.

Hasta la fecha, nuestro padre ha pasado por dos intervenciones quirurgicas necesarias para rescatar la funcion normal de su tobillo derecho. Aun se encuentra en la etapa de recuperación que tomará poco mas de 4 semanas y segun sea su recuperación avanzar a la fase de fisioterapia.

Mi padre lleva 8 meses de estadía prolongada en los Estados Unidos debido a la pandemia por el Covid 19, por tanto a la hora de su accidente no estaba asegurado internacionalmente para atender esta emergencia; sin embargo ha sido atendido sin ningun problema y tratado mejor de lo esperado.

En este país, estar sin un seguro de salud te hace enfrentar unos gastos de atención médica con montos cuyas cifras suelen impactar y atemorizar a la familia en general. Quisieramos reservarnos el monto adeudado en el hospital  para evitarle a él y a nuestra madre una preocupación extra, ya que mi hermano y yo estamos atendiendo todo lo que necesitamos para conseguir formas de pago, subsidio o caridad apoyados por el personal del departamento de finanzas del hospital.

Sin embargo, hay unos montos que se consideran gastos privados cuyos pagos deben ser directos y lamentablemente no contamos con el soporte económico para hacernos cargos. Entre ellos estan, las visitas al consultorio del Doctor, radiografias fuera del hospital, Medicinas, Instrumentos de apoyo, traslados en ambulacia y las sesiones de fisioterapia.

Es por esta razon que acudimos a la solidaridad de todos quienes puedan aportar un granito de arena en pro de la mejoría de nuestro Padre. Conocemos perfectamente que estamos viviendo tiempos dificiles a nivel mundial  y una crisis sin precedente en nuestra amada Venezuela  por eso no queremos que se sientan comprometidos ni mucbo menos apenados; cualquier ayuda desde compartir en sus redes, sus oraciones o cualquier aporte por mínimo que sea siempre será para nosotros inolvidable. 
 De antemano querenos darles las gracias y pedimos para ustedes que Dios les retribuya en salud. 

Familia Elorza Uzcátegui

As a family we have decided to create this fundraising campaign to support the full recovery of Jesus Elorza, who is the husband, father and grandfather of our nucleus.

On June 28 of this year, Jesus Elorza suffered a dramatic fall that ended up in multiple fractures of the ankle as well as bruises all across his body.

His immediate first aid attention was in charge of the 911 rescue crew until his arrival at the Mariners hospital in Isla Morada. There the medical team performed the first care with a subsequent transfer to Baptist Hospital in West Kendall where their case was referred to Dr. Howard Bar-Eli Orthopedist Specialized in severe trauma and sports injuries.

To date, our father has undergone two surgical procedures necessary to reinstate the normal function of his right ankle. He is still on the recovery stage that will take little more than 4 weeks and depending on his ankle heals to move into to the physical therapy phase.

My father has spent 8 months of prolonged stay in the United States due to the COVID-19 pandemic, therefore at the time of his accident he was not internationally insured to attend this emergency;

However, it has been treated without any problem and way better than we could imagine. We are very thankful for that.

In USA, being without health insurance makes you face health care expenses with amounts whose figures that usually impact and frighten the family in general.  We would like to reserve the amount owed in the hospital to avoid him and our mother an extra worry, my brother and I  are working closely with the hospital's finance department to manage this matter. We will implement payment plans, apply for subsidies and any other financial assistance available to fully cover the amount owed.

However, there are some expenses that are considered private, and those bills we will have to manage directly. Unfortunately at this moment we do not have all the resources to cover them . Some of those private expenses are: Doctor’s appointments, medical examinations, X-rays, medications, emergency services transfers (ambulances), physiotherapy sessions, among others.

This is the reason why that we have decided to create this campaign and reach you all who can contribute a grain of sand for the improvement of our Father. We know perfectly well that we are experiencing difficult times worldwide and an unprecedented crisis. Any help from sharing on your networks, your prayers or any contribution, however small, will always be unforgettable for us.

We want to thank you in advance and we ask God to pay you back in health.
