Father in need help with medical bills

Donation protected
A heartfelt request for support,❤️ dear family and friends. Today, I reach out with a heartfelt plea on behalf of my father, Joe Diaz, a remarkable man who has shown incredible resilience throughout his life. While battling type 2 diabetes, Joe faced a significant challenge that has put him through a tough ordeal. Necessary surgical procedures and amputations due to complications from his diabetes have resulted in chronic pain in his right foot. After experiencing a misdiagnosis, Joe sought a second opinion from an orthopedic surgeon, only to discover a foot ulcer that escalated into a serious bone infection. Despite these hurdles, Joe has shown immense strength with the support of dedicated medical professionals. He underwent surgery to amputate his small toe and part of his foot. However, this is just the beginning of his journey to recovery. Joe will need to continue with physical therapy and faces further surgeries while his medical bills continue to mount. His health insurance covers some of the cost, but it leaves him with a substantial financial burden. Here’s where your kindness can make a profound difference. We gratefully ask for your support, be it through donations, prayers, or any form of encouragement you can offer. Your contributions not only help ease Joe’s financial stress but also serve as a source of inspiration for him during this challenging time. Together, we can show him that he is not alone in this battle. Joe’s life exemplifies  his strength . He has faced unimaginable challenges while taking care of his wife of 59 years, who faced stage 4 cervical cancer and was sent home to die because of the severity of her diagnosis. Through prayer, faith, and continuous ongoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments, she made a full recovery Unfortunately she was diagnosed with scleroderma which ultimately took her life❤️. Joe made a lifestyle change through his adult life as soon as he was diagnosed with diabetes. He took control of his diabetes, paving the way to a healthier, longer life. Joe worked extremely hard, holding 2 to 3 jobs at a time to take care of his family of eight with two sets of twins. Joe is truly a testament to his unrelenting spirit. Joe has been a father figure for many people, inspiring countless lives. Joe has also had to heal from the loss of his son❤️ due to a tragic car accident. He has unselfishly volunteered his time and energy to the Christian church, consistently spreading love, faith, and inspiration. Working hard  to earn his citizenship and embodying the role of a devoted father throughout his life as a mechanic , he has consistently gone above and beyond to assist others, often sacrificing his own time to uplift those in need. Let us unite as a community to support Joe. Your generosity will shine as a beacon of hope and a reminder of the compassion we can share in times of need. Thank you for considering this request. With love, the Diaz family.
