Gilberto Juarez Carreon





Gilberto has had lupus since 2005 his battle has been long and tough. His family is exhausted and are hurting everyday. They struggle to live their life like they did before the illness. He has been on dialysis for a long time, they have now said that the dialysis is not completing it's purpose. Just a week ago he had to be hospitalized due to not being able to hold food down and vomiting black bodily fluids this caused for him to get immediate surgery to see what was wrong with his intestines, they came to find out that his intestines had actually joined together making it impossible for him to eat or drink anything. He will be on a feeding bag for the time being. Gilberto is exhausted and feeling the pain his family is going through he feels like this will be the only way to help his family. He's a very happy 35 year old male who still has so much to live for, memories to experience with his siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and most dearly to him his parents. If you can find it in your heart to help him please do so. Gilberto and his family will thank you from the bottom of their hearts, there will be other fundraising to make the goal possible, all he wants is to be able to ease the pain and struggle on both of his parents. Being hospitalized is something he is struggling with, simply because he lived an active life he helped all he could with his family he would babysit for siblings and made them smile every day.if you would like to help out in other ways feel free to contact me or to get more information on what events are being organized all the help we get will help, even if it's just some kind words. His medical bills are higher than the goal this will only be a support to help his family not end in major debt. Thank you.
