Calvin & Valentina need help (necesitan apoyo)

Donation protected
We don’t know exactly what caused it, but something created a tear in Calvin’s carotid artery and a series of clots formed that caused a stroke in his brain on July 8th. After a morning climb with his friend near Otter Rock, Calvin began to show the symptoms of a stroke and he was taken by ambulance to Newport and then air-lifted to a hospital in Portland. Due to the trauma of the stroke, his brain swelled and it was necessary to remove a portion of his skull to relieve the swelling. It took some days for the swelling to be brought under control. The swelling is much better now, but he is still unconscious and fighting for his life. Calvin is the father of two beautiful boys, Matteo and Emilio and the husband of Valentina. The Family lives in Spain and was spending the summer at his childhood home in Otter Rock when this unfortunate accident happened. Calvin is a kind soul with a beautiful heart and adventurous spirit. He is loved by so many and he needs your support now more than ever on this journey to recovery. Those who know Calvin know that he does things on his own pace and in his own (often unhurried) way, but in this instance his family and friends are leaning into prayers, thought, mediation, and love for a positive outcome.

The future is very uncertain in this moment, but what is known is that Calvin's family will have substantial unforeseen medical and logistical expenses. Your donations will go directly to the family to help them navigate this crisis.

Much peace, love, and appreciation,

No sabemos exactamente qué lo causó, pero algo creó un desgarre en la arteria carótida de Calvin y se formaron una serie de coágulos que provocaron un derrame cerebral el 8 de julio. Después de una escalada matutina con su amigo cerca de Otter Rock, Calvin comenzó a mostrar síntomas de un derrame cerebral y lo llevaron en ambulancia a Newport donde luego lo trasladaron en avión a un hospital en Portland, Oregon. Debido al trauma del derrame cerebral, su cerebro se hinchó y fue necesario remover una porción de su cráneo para aliviar la hinchazón. Fueron necesarios algunos días para controlar la hinchazón. La hinchazón ha mejorado mucho ahora, pero todavía está inconsciente y lucha por su vida. Calvin es padre de dos hermosos niños, Matteo y Emilio, y esposo de Valentina. La familia vive en España y estaba pasando el verano en la casa de su infancia en Otter Rock cuando ocurrió este desafortunado accidente. Calvin es un alma bondadosa con un corazón hermoso y espíritu aventurero. Es amado por mucha gente y necesita su apoyo ahora más que nunca en este viaje hacia la recuperación. Quienes conocen a Calvin saben que él hace las cosas a su propio ritmo y a su manera (a menudo sin prisas), pero en este caso su familia y amigos se inclinan por las oraciones, el pensamiento, la medicina y el amor para lograr un resultado positivo.

El futuro es muy incierto en este momento, pero lo que se sabe es que la familia de Calvin tendrá importantes gastos médicos y logísticos imprevistos. Sus donaciones irán directamente a la familia para ayudarles a superar esta crisis.

Mucha paz, amor y aprecio,
