Fernandez Family Covid-19 Relief

Donation protected
Hello everyone,

We are starting this fundraiser to assist in the costs related to our father Alfonso Fernandez having contracted Covid-19.  On July 7th our father was taken on an ambulance to the hospital due to difficulty breathing.  As of July 25th, he's been on a ventilator for a week due to a collapsed and fluid filled lung and is currently on dialysis due to failing kidneys and in critical condition and we've been told to expect the worst.

Our dad is a big on family which has made his lack of presence in our household especially hard.  On top of the lack of his guidance and warmth he brought to the home he was the majority earner between our parents which only adds to the burden of his absence. 

Our mother has lost her job due to the pandemic and the Florida unemployment department has been little help in this area due to a two month delay and no follow up on back payments.  As medical bills pile on top of the essential monthly bills as well as the emotional toll this situation has taken on our family, things are beginning to feel insurmountable and we would not be reaching out for help otherwise.

We are still holding out hope that the cornerstone of our family will make a full recovery and return to us.  Between playing and coaching soccer, always being there to give advice or assist when it came to car troubles, to always being a laid back presence to lend an ear during the gatherings we'd often hold at our house, anyone who's been lucky enough to know our father can attest to the kind of person he is and the impact he has on friends and family. 

Any contributions are much appreciated no matter how small and we thank you so much for helping in this trying time as we know everyone's just trying to get through this.
