Help Chilo and Josie pay off their medical bills

Donation protected
Chilo Àvalos is a 64 year old from Durango Dgo Mexico, and a great man. He immigrated to the US 40 years ago and worked up from brick layer to expert CDL driver. I met Chilo and got to know him through working with him at a small construction company. He is one of the funniest, friendliest, most hard working and frugal people I've ever met. His radiating positivity, constant jokes and great laugh not only make him someone you look forward to working with but someone you'd like to be more like in your own life.

Chilo was in a very bad car accident in his personal vehicle a few months ago. The accident broke several ribs, his left shoulder, left knee and most the bones in his left arm as well as breaking his pelvis in two places.  After several surgeries and several months in the hospital he is thankfully now back home. Chilo has diabetes and the recovery is slow.

Unfortunately his medical insurance could only cover the basics and he's been left with a lot of medical bills. The severity of the accident has also left him unable to return to his career and finish out those last few years before retirement as he had planned.

Sharing / donating would make a huge difference in the lives of Chilo and his gorgeous wife Josie, who he has been with for 19 years.

Chilo Ávalos es un joven de 64 años de Durango Dgo, México, y un gran hombre. Chilo emigró a Estados Unidos hace 40 años trabajando como albañil. Luego, Chilo trabajó en la construcción para convertirse en un experto conductor de CDL. Conocí a Chilo trabajando con él en una pequeña empresa de construcción. Chilo es el hombre más divertido, amable y trabajador que he conocido. Su positividad, sus bromas y su gran risa hacen de Chilo alguien que los hombres imiten. Chilo siempre hizo que trabajar muchas horas fuera agradable y fácil. Chilo tuvo un accidente automovilístico muy grave en su vehículo personal hace unos meses. El accidente rompió la mayoría de los huesos de su brazo izquierdo, su hombro y su rodilla izquierda. Su pelvis también se rompió en dos lugares. Después de varias cirugías y varios meses en el hospital, afortunadamente está de regreso a casa. Chilo tiene diabetes y la recuperación es larga y lenta. Desafortunadamente, su seguro médico solo cubría lo básico. Chilo se ha quedado con una gran cantidad de facturas médicas. La gravedad del accidente le ha impedido volver a su carrera y terminar sus últimos años antes de jubilarse como había planeado. Compartir / donar marcaría una gran diferencia en las vidas de Chilo y su hermosa esposa Josie, con quien ha estado durante 19 años.
