Hello, thank you for taking time to read this.
In January 2021, Juan Flores started to feel sick and he had difficulty breathing. He tested positive for COVID on Jan 19th and just days later went to the hospital. Several days after Juan was admitted to the hospital, his son Michael went to the ER, was admitted with the same diagnosis of COVID pneumonia and quickly had to be intubated. Juan was worried sick and did all possible to comfort and encourage Michael to get better. From his hospital bed he prayed for him via Webex meeting. On Jan. 31, Michael woke up from his sedated state at 1:00pm and at 2:20pm Juan had to be intubated. He has had a few good days in the middle of some really bad days, but each day he fights. As of March 9, he has already spent 47 days in the hospital being treated for COVID pneumonia and other issues that COVID has inflicted on his body. He has been on a ventilator for 37 of those days.
Juan is an amazing man who has always put his family and community first. He is a Husband, Father, Son, Brother, Uncle and Friend. He has worked for the SUHSD for over 20 years at North Salinas High and now as the Plant Foreman at Rancho San Juan High. In the past 30 years he has been a soccer coach in Salinas for the YMCA, City Leagues and NSHS, as well as in Gonzales at GHS and Fairview for both Boys and Girls teams. He has lead teams to CCS Championships leaving a legacy of influence and inspiration on hundreds of youth.
Our family has been praying everyday in hopes that Juan will heal enough to go home to be with his wife Alicia and his sons, Johnny, Michael and Fernando. The prayers have been helpful, yet, we still wanted to do more. So we are here asking for your support. Juan will need help with medical bills and with equipping his home with all that will be necessary for a safe and smooth transition from the hospital, in addition to supporting his family in the way that he has always done.
We are also hosting a BBQ fundraiser on March 20th in Gonzales, Ca. Please contact us for more information.
We appreciate your generosity, God Bless.
