Help Favio Pay for Surgery to Recover His Arm Function

Donation protected
On April 5th, 2024 a dear friend and coworker, Favio Mejia, was in a terrible accident while riding his motorcycle home from work. After initial surgery and months of therapy, Favio is still experiencing complete paralysis to his left arm. Further testing in July has determined that he experienced a severe injury to the brachial plexus in his shoulder, and for any chance at recovery it requires a surgery to repair the neural network running through the shoulder. This is not an uncommon surgery, but unfortunately the public medical system in Honduras doesn’t have the surgeons or the resources to perform it successfully.

Fortunately we have found an option in Bolivia that can perform the surgery and help Favio recover! This fundraiser is to help pay for the cost of surgery ($10,000), travel to Bolivia ($1,000) and to support him and his family during the treatment and recovery process.

Favio is one of the most hard-working, generous, kind and funny people! He was born and raised in Honduras and has lived on Roatan most of his life with his family: his mother and his sister whom he supports financially. Favio also has a beautiful 7 year old daughter who he hopes to hold again in his arms soon!

Favio has worked at the Grand Roatan Resort for over 2 years and in that time has impacted hundreds of people with his hospitality, charm and warm smile.

With this fundraiser we are hoping to harness the power of our global community to help a friend in need. Any amount makes a difference and we are incredibly grateful in advance for your generosity and support!

A note from Favio: "Hello, blessings to all. I am a young, hard-working fighter. On April 5th, I had an accident on my motorcycle which has changed my life. I would like to undergo surgery but I do not have the cost. Mil gracias."
