Help Edgar Heal: The Road to Recovery

What Happened

This past Sunday, our lives changed forever when our brother Edgar was involved in a serious car accident while driving home to Pflugerville to visit family. Edgar is a warehouse fabricator managing construction teams across the country and is now fighting a difficult battle at Baylor Scott & White Medical Center in Temple.

Edgar sustained catastrophic injuries including:

After spending critical days in the ICU, Edgar has been moved to the Step-Down Unit. However, he remains unable to fully communicate, and we're still uncertain about the full extent of his brain injuries. The road ahead will be long, uncertain, and incredibly challenging, but we're determined to be there for him every step of the way.

The Person Edgar Is

Edgar is the definition of selfless - always putting others before himself. As a father to his high school-aged son, a loving partner, brother to his three sisters, uncle to his niece, and a dedicated son, family has always been Edgar's priority.

He's hardworking and dependable, the kind of person who gives without expectation and shows up without being asked. His colleagues at work count on him, and his friends know he's always willing to lend a helping hand. When not working hard to provide for his loved ones, Edgar enjoys staying fit and spending quality time with those he cares about.

Now, it's our turn to show up for Edgar when he needs it most.

The Financial Reality We're Facing

Edgar doesn't have health insurance. Every day in the hospital, every procedure, every medication comes with a cost that will quickly become overwhelming for our family.

Once he's discharged (likely in a few weeks), Edgar will need to transfer to an in-patient rehabilitation facility closer to Pflugerville, costing approximately $3,000 per week. His recovery will take months, possibly longer, during which time he will be unable to work or earn income.

The financial burden extends to:
