Dear Friends and Family,

I wanted to share an important update about my brother Manny. On Saturday, July 26th, he was involved in a serious car accident and totaled his vehicle. While we are incredibly grateful that he is alive, he sustained significant injuries to his face and hand that will require multiple surgeries and a long road to recovery.

Manny is currently staying at my home while he begins the healing process. Our family is working together to support him—taking turns with bedside care, managing appointments, and helping with his pup, Toby. Right now, Manny is unable to work or drive, and he’ll be depending on us for many of his basic needs over the next several weeks.

If you’re wondering how you can help, we would be deeply grateful for support in the following areas:

• Funds for Meals (homemade, delivery, or gift cards)

• Medical expenses not fully covered by insurance

• Transportation to and from doctor’s appointments, surgery, and basic uber trips for day to day life essentials

• Everyday essentials like groceries, toiletries, etc.

Any support—whether a meal, a ride, a donation, or simply checking in—means the world to us during this time.

If you feel called to give, we are putting together a GoFundMe page to collect money on his behalf.

Thank you for being part of Manny’s village. We feel your love and prayers more than words can express.

With love and gratitude,

Joanna (My Brothers Keeper)
