Help Gustavo Get the Shoulder Surgery He Needs

Gustavo is the kind of person who shows up—for his son, his friends, and everyone he trains with.

He’s a devoted father who spends his time off work making memories with his son: biking, hiking, fishing, snowboarding, and being outdoors every chance they get. When he’s not with his son, he’s either working hard as a carpenter or on the mats as a committed Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training partner—reliable, disciplined, and always pushing others to be better.

Unfortunately, Gustavo needs shoulder surgery and does not have medical insurance. This isn’t optional or cosmetic—it’s necessary for him to keep working, training, and staying active as the father he is. Because he’s uninsured, the entire procedure and recovery will have to be paid for out of pocket.

This GoFundMe is to help cover:

Surgical costs

Imaging and pre-op care

Post-op rehab and physical therapy

Lost income during recovery

Gustavo isn’t someone who asks for help easily, but this is one of those moments where support can make a real difference. Any contribution—big or small—helps ease the financial burden and gets him back to doing what he does best: working hard, training hard, and being present for his son.

If you can’t donate, sharing this page helps just as much.

Thank you for supporting a great dad, a loyal friend, and a hardworking man who gives everything he has.
