Hi everyone,
This is the story of Yacu; a partner, friend, family, coworker and one of the sweetest souls you could ever meet.
A natural prankster and playful by nature, Yacu brightens up the room the moment he walks in. His charismatic personality and his willingness to help out anyone without a second thought is what makes him very loved by his friends, family, and coworkers. He is the friend you can always count on when you need a hand, a shoulder to cry on, or just want someone to be silly around. Yacu loves with all his heart and is never one to judge.
Over the four years that I've known Yacu, his work ethic has never wavered, and I've never met another person work as diligently as he has. Yacu always took on new and challenging roles with a smile on his face.
Everything was going well until the most unexpected thing happened: Yacu had a stroke on July 22, 2025. This life-changing event came to the complete shock of all his friends and family since Yacu has always appeared to be a healthy person. Yacu has been in the ICU for over a week and will soon be moved out of the ICU due to his improving health, but he has suffered from more strokes and bleeding in the brain since the initial stroke. The road to recovery will be a long one.
On behalf of his partner, family, friends, and coworkers, we are asking for any donation to help with the medical bills that Yacu has and will continue to incur. With no health insurance and being out of work for the foreseeable future, the amount of medical debt will be extremely high.
We thank you for your donation and/or sharing of Yacu's story. He is extremely loved and we want to help him out as much as we can during this difficult time period.
