Cover medical expenses for Charo
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
I wanted to let you all know that Charo had a brain aneurysm that was discovered two weeks ago, it was a small aneurysm, and was on the process of being referred to a neurosurgeon before it ruptured on Sunday night.
We ended up going to St. Pete’s that Sunday night because Charo was experiencing a really bad headache (described as the worst headache of her life) and vomiting. In St. Pete’s, they noticed that the aneurism had ruptured and because there’s no neurosurgeon at St. Pete’s, she was transferred to Swedish Hospital - Cherry Hill in Seattle.
We are hoping to share updates as we go, but wanted to set up a GoFundMe, as she will have to stay in the hospital for two weeks.
Everyone who knows Charo knows the kind of person she is and her passion for helping other members of her community. We ask for support during this difficult time that we find ourselves navigating right now.
We appreciate you all for contributing to support Charo and lessen the burden on medical bills.
I am sharing this picture of Charo, she’s an active person and full of life. This was from our trip to Spain (July 2022).
