Bringing Hope to Nelson Bolaños and His Family

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Hearts,

We come to you today with heavy hearts and an urgent plea for assistance. Our dear friend, Nelson, is battling a rare and complex heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot—a genetic malformation of the heart. For the past 45 years, Nelson has undergone multiple surgeries and repairs, bravely fighting against the odds. However, his condition has now reached a critical stage where only a heart transplant can offer him a chance at survival. As Nelson fights for his life, his wife Juliana is doing everything she can to support their three beautiful children, Emily, Nicolas, and Nicole. We reach out to you, our compassionate community, in the hopes that you can help support Nelson and his family during this critical time.

Nelson's Journey:
Nelson has been a symbol of strength and resilience, facing numerous challenges brought on by Tetralogy of Fallot throughout his life. Despite enduring countless surgeries and medical procedures with the first one in 1995 when the “Corazón a Corazón Foundation” saved his live, his condition has worsened to the point where his heart can no longer sustain him. Nelson's only hope for survival lies in a heart transplant—a procedure that comes with significant medical expenses, post-transplant medications, and ongoing care.

Juliana's Struggle:
Juliana, Nelson's devoted wife and partner, has been a constant source of love and support throughout their journey. However, the burden of caring for Nelson's deteriorating health and supporting their children has taken its toll on her. As she balances the demands of work, caring for their children, and being by Nelson's side during his hospital stays, the financial strain has become overwhelming. With Nelson unable to work, the family has lost his income, adding to the financial difficulties they face.

How You Can Help:
In this time of immense hardship, your support can make all the difference in the lives of Nelson and his family. Your generous donations will not only help cover the expenses associated with Nelson's urgent need for a heart transplant but also provide crucial assistance to Juliana in managing the financial burden of their changed circumstances. The funds raised will help alleviate the stress of lost income, enabling Juliana to focus on being by Nelson's side and caring for their children during this challenging time.

The donations will cover the cost of medical procedures, transplant evaluations, post-transplant care, medications, ongoing medical expenses, and provide much-needed financial stability for Juliana and their children. Your contribution, no matter the size, will offer hope and a lifeline to Nelson, Juliana, Emily, Nicolas, and Nicole as they navigate through this difficult journey.

Please share their story with your networks, friends, and loved ones. By raising awareness and garnering support, we can help ensure that Nelson receives the life-saving transplant he desperately needs, while also supporting Juliana and their children during this financially challenging period. Every voice and contribution matter, and your kindness and prayers will provide immense strength to Nelson and his family.

Let us come together as a community and extend a helping hand to Nelson and his family in their time of need. Your generosity will bring hope, relief, and the possibility of a brighter future to Nelson, Juliana, Emily, Nicolas, and Nicole. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for your consideration and support.

With gratitude,




Estimados amigos, familiares y personas de buen corazón,

Hoy nos dirigimos a ustedes con el corazón pesado y una súplica urgente de ayuda. Nuestro querido amigo, Nelson, está luchando contra una rara y compleja enfermedad cardíaca llamada Tetralogía de Fallot, una malformación genética del corazón. Durante los últimos 45 años, Nelson ha pasado por múltiples cirugías y reparaciones, con la primera en 1995 cuando la fundación “Corazón a Corazón” salvo su vida. Sin embargo, su condición ha alcanzado ahora una etapa crítica en la que solo un trasplante de corazón le puede ofrecer una oportunidad de supervivencia. Mientras Nelson lucha por su vida, su esposa Juliana está haciendo todo lo posible para mantener a flote a sus tres preciosos hijos, Emily, Nicolas y Nicole. Nos dirigimos a ustedes, nuestra compasiva comunidad, con la esperanza de que puedan ayudar a Nelson y a su familia en este momento tan crítico.

El camino de Nelson:
Nelson ha sido un símbolo de fuerza y resistencia, enfrentando numerosos desafíos causados por la Tetralogía de Fallot a lo largo de su vida. A pesar de someterse a innumerables cirugías y procedimientos médicos, su condición ha empeorado hasta el punto en que su corazón ya no puede mantenerlo con vida. La única esperanza de Nelson reside en un trasplante de corazón, un procedimiento que conlleva importantes gastos médicos, medicamentos posteriores al trasplante y cuidados continuos.

La lucha de Juliana:
Juliana, la esposa y compañera dedicada de Nelson, ha sido un constante pilar de amor y apoyo a lo largo de su trayectoria. Sin embargo, la carga de cuidar de la salud deteriorada de Nelson y mantener a sus hijos ha afectado su bienestar. Mientras se ocupa de las demandas del trabajo, del cuidado de los niños y de estar al lado de Nelson durante sus estancias en el hospital, la presión financiera se ha vuelto abrumadora. Con la incapacidad de Nelson para trabajar, la familia ha perdido sus ingresos, lo que agrava las dificultades económicas que enfrentan.

Cómo puedes ayudar:
En este momento de gran dificultad, tu apoyo puede marcar la diferencia en la vida de Nelson y su familia. Tus generosas donaciones no solo ayudarán a cubrir los gastos asociados a la urgente necesidad de un trasplante de corazón para Nelson, sino que también brindarán asistencia crucial a Juliana para sobrellevar la carga financiera de las circunstancias cambiantes. Los fondos recaudados ayudarán a aliviar el estrés de la pérdida de ingresos, permitiendo que Juliana se concentre en estar al lado de Nelson y cuidar de sus hijos durante este momento desafiante.

Las donaciones cubrirán los gastos de procedimientos médicos, evaluaciones para el trasplante, cuidados posteriores al trasplante, medicamentos y gastos médicos continuos, proporcionando estabilidad financiera tan necesaria para Juliana y sus hijos. Tu contribución, sin importar el monto, ofrecerá esperanza y una tabla de salvación a Nelson, Juliana, Emily, Nicolas
