Supporting Carlos Pacheco in His Fight Against CJD
Our father, Carlos Pacheco, is a man who has always been full of life, laughter, and love for his family. He has worked tirelessly to support us, his four daughters, and has been a constant source of strength and guidance in our lives. But now, we are facing a devastating reality that no family is ever prepared for: Carlos has been diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).
What is CJD?
CJD is a rare, degenerative, and fatal brain disorder that affects only about one in a million people worldwide each year. It progresses rapidly, causing a decline in memory, behavior, and movement, leaving patients and their loved ones with limited time to process such a heartbreaking diagnosis. This disease has no cure, and the journey ahead for our father is one of immense physical and emotional challenge.
Our Current Situation
As CJD progresses, Carlos requires constant care to ensure his comfort and dignity. While health insurance covers only 4 hours of home care per day, the reality is that he needs 24-hour assistance. Providing this level of care will require significant out-of-pocket expenses, which have quickly become overwhelming for our family.
As his daughters, we are doing everything we can to support him during this time, but we cannot do it alone. Watching our father face this devastating illness is heart-wrenching, but our focus remains on giving him the comfort and peace he deserves.
How You Can Help
We are reaching out to friends, family, and kindhearted individuals to ask for your support. Your donation will help us:
• Provide 24-hour home care services to keep Carlos comfortable and well-cared for in his own home.
• Cover medical expenses and other unforeseen costs related to his care.
• Ensure our father can spend his remaining time surrounded by love, compassion, and the dignity he so greatly deserves.
This is the most difficult time our family has ever faced, and your generosity would mean the world to us. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference in our ability to care for our father during this critical time.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story. If you cannot donate, please consider sharing this with others who may be able to help. Your kindness and support give us strength and remind us that we are not alone in this journey.
With gratitude,
