Help save our family!

Hi, my name is Cesar. I was hoping to not have to get to this point. I am the Father, Husband and what's most important the majority provider of my family.

Our lives have changed very drastically in 2023. I had to stop working due to a diabetic(I have type 2 diabetes) wound on my ankle. After surgery ( they removed a section of my ankle 5in. X 3 in. down to the bone) to remove infection. This wound was going to take over a year to heal. I have had to lay in bed since April to help it heal and not walk on it. I am a couple months away from fully healing. This is the start of what I call my living H__ll!

Some of you know I also found out that this year I was told my kidneys were failing. Well as of yesterday I have 4% kidney function left. I was in a kidney transplant program with Northwestern and Rush hospitals , both have kicked me out of the program due to the diabetic wound not being healed yet.

To make this shorter, I have seen many Drs. ( 5 a week roughly) all year

Optometrist (I have lost vision in my left eye) , nephologist ( I'm losing kidneys), I suffer from severe gout attacks (I use a walker and electric wheel chair couple times a month)

During the transplant process I had to see a cardiologist. As of last week I was told my heart is bad now. I am testing this week in the hospital to find out my treatment options. Having heart problems will now also be keeping me from getting a kidney . They won't transplant if your not healthy enough if I can't get a kidney it will be dialysis for a few years( not sure on how long?) The test they want to do for my heart will inject a chemical that will most likely kill the remaining kidney function and I will be on dialysis next week. Do avoiding a heart attack, I have to take the test. The cardiologist will hopefully be able to find the problem and teat me.

Now comes to today. I am sitting in this hospital bed because I came to the ER Saturday because I have been unable to control my arms, torso, neck and hands. It looks like I manly have it as result of losing my kidneys? I will find out for sure hopefully soon but it looks like it's permanent and will get worse? I am non stop twitching.

Asking for money to help support my family during this time really hurts me as a man who takes pride in supporting my family. I have realized I will not be on this earth much longer and while I am here I will fight and do whatever I have to do to to help my family. So, asking for help may be embarrassing but losing everything will be much worse. I don't want to be one of those people that let's pride get in the way. I have been depressed and scared for what the future brings? I keep telling my kids I won't be here much longer and have been living that way so I can get as much time in with my family as possible.

I Thank you ALL whether you can help with money or just prayers. Those that have helped already with prayers and offering their kidney ( You know who you are) I REALLY THANK YOU. offering your organs to save my life is truly a blessing. I wish I could raise money for your family's sacrifice.

Thank you all I am fighting and hope to recover one day soon!!!
