Hello Family & Friends! ❤️‍ My name is Francisco Torres.

It took a lot of pride in me to create this GoFundMe to help our situation out because I know there are still good-hearted people out there that would help a stranger out!

Back in October, Ella started feeling lots of pain behind her head. She visited the hospital a couple of times and got told multiple things, like it was due to lack of sleep and caused by giving birth to our baby, and the list went on. Slowly but surely, the pain started getting worse by the day, and half of her body started getting numb to the point of not having any feeling on the right side. Her right hand started curling up like she was holding a ball, and it got extremely hard for her to walk. When we saw that things were getting worse by the minute, we decided to take her to a different hospital where they performed scans, X-rays, and multiple exams to identify what was going on. Right at that moment, the neurologist diagnosed her with a disorder called “Chiari malformation type 1,” where she had to get brain surgery right away to bring her back to her normal self. Surgery went great ❤️‍. She is in recovery now, but it will be a long recovery.

I am here to ask for any help we can get financially because, as we all know, bills don’t stop, life doesn’t stop, and if I stop working to take care of her, we will fall behind with everything, and it’s only the beginning of the new year . I need her to get back to normal soon to get back to our 9-month-old baby girl and the older kids that also need her .
