Our family is asking for your prayers, love, and support for Jose Carlos Prieto — a devoted father, brother, and friend who is bravely fighting for his life.

On September 2nd, Carlos was rushed to the hospital in Dalton, Georgia, after vomiting blood. Doctors discovered that his liver was in severe distress. Shortly after, his condition worsened — he developed pneumonia and went into septic shock, spending over 30 days in the ICU fighting to stay alive.

Carlos was later transferred to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for a liver transplant evaluation. While the transplant has not yet been approved, Emory plans to re-evaluate him in two months. In the meantime, Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta is also evaluating him for a possible transplant. Our family is holding on to hope that he will be given another chance at life.

Through it all, Carlos has remained strong and determined. He is fighting not just for himself, but for his three-year-old daughter, Penelope, who adores her father and needs him home and healthy.

We are raising funds to help cover the overwhelming costs related to:

Medical expenses and procedures not covered by insurance

Travel to and from hospitals and transplant centers

Medications and ongoing care

Support in locating a compatible liver donor

Every donation, prayer, and share makes a difference. Your kindness will help give Carlos a fighting chance — a chance to watch Penelope grow up and to continue being the loving father, brother, and friend that he is.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you for standing with us during this fight for Carlos’s life.

Please pray, donate, share, and help us spread the word.

Together, we can bring Carlos home to Penelope.
