Genaro needs ANOTHER surgery :(

Donation protected
Hi Friends,
As some of you may or may not  know, Genaro was in a horrific car accident over a year ago. Two kids were racing each other on 280 and one lost control of his car and crashed into Genaro's truck. Classic Genaro, semi conscious and wounded, limped his way to the young mans car and  forced the obstructed door open and proceeded to give CPR until Genaro himself went unconscious.  Unfortunately, the kid that hit him did not survive and was an illegal immigrant with no insurance. The accident left Genaro with  major head and foot injuries and a mile long medical bill.

Last May Genaro underwent surgery to reconstruct his foot and has been out of work recovering ever since. The doctor recently informed Genaro that one of the bone grafts didn't take. In an effort to force his body to heal the doctor gave him the last 2 weeks to try and walk  on his severely broken foot ...and like a champ (as we all know him to be) he clenched his teeth and took the pain.

Today we received some very devastating news. Instead of the doctor telling him he can go back to work he informed us that his only option to walk again will be another surgery. Genaro is now having to redo the surgery all over again except this time they will be taking bone from his hip. This added procedure will, unfortunately, require a longer and more painful recovery process than his last surgery. As you can expect, Genaro is now unable to go back to work for another year and even worse may have to cover some of the medical expenses since the kid who hit him had no insurance. Sadly this last year of recovery has depleted his savings and now, not being able to work for another year, has put him in a very tough situation.

Genaro has always been the person to call if you needed help or if you just needed a friend to talk to. I'm starting this fund in hopes that we can show our gratitude by giving a little back and maybe raise his spirits (and lower his stress levels). If you are able, any donation would be unbelievably appreciated. I know money is tight for everyone these days but even if it's ten bucks you find in an old pair of jeans ...a little from everyone combined can really help Genaro and Kaden get through this! Lets show Genaro how much we care about him and maybe make this horrible situation a little less horrible. Please help spread the word and share this post. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you all have a happy holiday season!

Sincerely,
Sharon
