So where should I begin... Well for over a year now I have been living with Liver disease and kidney failure! The journey has been rough. I won't lie ,at times I wanted to let things just happen. But a voice in my heart and head kept saying "try harder Alex look at that little girl she needs you. There is more life to live!!" So everyday I pick myself up and dust off what has transpired that is negative and move forward. I almost died twice, been in the hospital more times than I'd like to remember. I've had someamazing support along the way though. Nothing was done alone, even though I felt as if I was at times and sometimes I have been. I was only able to tell a handful of people along the way. Because I knew others would try and take this on with then while others could give a shit. I'm not selfish by any means.... my amazing Yvette Martinez worked hard to get me started on my path with the The Texas Liver Institute of UniversityHealth Carecenter and disability. I finished what she started. Mother Aurora Hubbard nursed me back from death ,fed me bathed me encouraged me!! Some close friends a few I'll probably forget so I apologize ahead of time but Agustin Cesar Gamboa III Alex Dumas Mel N Larry Luna Rey Reyes Jax Wanderer Anny Kronenthal Scott Kronenthal Kevin Seibert Nancy Hubbard Vince Hubbard a wild ass dude who along the way with his wife has become an amazing friend and family as well to me Joe Amigo Krystal Martinez Aguilar ! Valerie Armstrong and her husband Anthony Armstrong have been so supportive along the way as well. This has been the hardest thing I've ever done and I'm not done yet. After all this... the LIVER TRANSPLANT TEAM AND LIVER INSTITUTE HAVE BEEN SO GREAT. GUIDING ME THROUGH IT ALL!!! Crazy pandemic and all the appointments and stays in the hospital I did alone. I knew it was something I had to endure. I've become stronger because of it all. My faith is at a point of rejuvenation. My heart is overwhelmed by the response of others. So not the end but a huge part has finally been reached!! AS OF 3 DAYS AGO I HAVE BEEN PLACED ON THE LIVER TRANSPLANT WAIT LIST!! I NEVER ASKED ANYONE TO DONATE BECAUSE I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO ASK THAT OF SOMEONE!! BUT MY BROTHER Rich RubioStark VOLUNTEER HIS LIVER!! We'll see what happens soon with that. But I'm on the list as of now. So I'm not asking for anyone to feel sorry for me. Even though I've have not been able to work for the past year per Dr's orders and disability. Went from not being able to walk ,went partially blind and now I run walk fo all kinds of amazing things with my daughter alone and with others!! So as I endure another test I have asked nothing of anyone. But I will be finally starting a go fund me page to help with my portion of the surgery. My insurance is covering most of it. But my part of the financial burden is $3,500!! So let's see what happens ! I can't thank everyone enough who has taken the time to nurture what were some dark times along the way. But I'm stronger for all of it. I'm excited about my future like never before again!! Celebrate this life and everyday with me as this journey is not the end. " TOMORROW IS PROMISED TO NO ONE!!" SO ALWAYS BE IN THE PRESENT AS YOU REMEMBER THAT FROM ME TO ALL OF YOU!! THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS IF YOU DID!! And forgive my grammatical errors in this...lol!! My transplant coordinator said to include a bit more for post transplant surgery medications and some labs not covered completely by insurance. Thank a you all in advance! May god bless us and hold us!!
