Donate to Aid Areli's Hospital Stay and Care

Areli had knee surgery on Saturday, November 9th, 2024, due to an infection that started in her stomach and traveled to her knee. The doctors are not sure how long her recovery will be and how long she will have to stay in the hospital. The only thing they told me was to prepare for a long process, the shortest being 3-5 weeks, and having to follow up frequently to make sure her leg is growing correctly.

I made this GoFundMe since I don’t know how long I will be out of work.I wasn’t paid my full maternity leave since I just started my job in May and didn’t have that much paid time off accumulated. I had just gone back to work recently, but the week of her surgery, I only worked a day and a half due to having to take care of her. I do say I am blessed I have a workplace that is understanding, knowing I have to care for my child. But bills don’t stop, unfortunately. For example, the daycare she was attending still requested payment even knowing she is hospitalized.

Thank you so much for reading our story. Please keep Areli and me in your prayers, and any help is GREATLY appreciated. Thank you so much, God bless you.
