Hello there, our name is Kim Pacheco-Salazar & Frankie Salazar, the mother and father of Orlando. Three months ago, my son was diagnosed with several rare diseases: Celiac Artery Stenosis, MALS, Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome, Nutcracker Syndrome, Pyloric Stenosis, Duodenal Stenosis, deformity of the entire stomach, and a tumor growing in his hip bone that is still being tested for diagnosis. He went from being 165 to 116 pounds in 3 months and could not eat on his own. He had a feeding tube to help with nutrition for 3 months; however, it did not help.
He will be having a bypass surgery on November 5th that will be a 4-hour procedure, and during that procedure, they will see what else they can fix. Without this surgery being a success, there could be severe consequences as his stomach and first intestine are closing. In addition to all of this, Orlando has had severe nerve and health problems since he was 15 years old. He deserves a miracle. He has already overcome so much, and we are praying that he can overcome all of this.
We are doing this GoFundMe to help with medical expenses not covered by his insurance, medications, some of his bills that he must continue to pay while he's down, and any costs incurred while he is in the hospital for 7 days in November. We know that everyone has their own responsibilities and struggles, so we are only asking if you can help without financially putting yourself in a bind. We ask that you keep all of us in prayer as we go through all of this. This will be a long process, and we're not sure what to expect next, but with God, all things are possible. We pray for healing! We thank you all in advance.
