Help for Juan Manuel: Fundraising for His Medical Expenses

Donation protected


Dear Friends and Family,

Today, we reach out to you with our hearts in our hands, during a difficult time for our family. My dad, Juan Manuel, a great man, friend, father, and grandfather, has just undergone surgery where a significant portion of his colon was removed. Juan has been a pillar in our lives, always teaching us valuable lessons and being present at every step of the way.

Throughout his life, Juan has dedicated his time and effort to improving our community in Puerto Vallarta. He has tirelessly worked to promote the use of bicycles as a safe and sustainable way of transportation, advocating for the creation of bike lanes and painting the necessary lines on the streets to respect these spaces. Additionally, he has organized events to encourage cycling, fostering a healthier and more environmentally friendly lifestyle. His commitment does not stop there; he has also worked to protect and conserve our natural areas and has been involved in the preservation of local lagoons, fighting for a better future for all.

Unfortunately, my dad has been ill for the past few months, visiting doctors and trying to figure it out what was wrong. Two weeks ago, his health deteriorated, and he had to be rushed to a public hospital. He was under observation for more than 48 hours, and despite waiting to be taken to surgery, several instances of negligence forced us to make the decision to transfer him to a private hospital.

Today, I ask, with tears in my eyes and a broker heart, for your help, for I never imagined it would come to this. I never imagined seeing the man who has always made me feel safe become so vulnerable and fragile. The expenses at the private hospital have been overwhelming, and while we don't know the exact total yet, the bill has already risen to $130,000 Mexican pesos not counting additional expenses from various doctors, medications, x-rays, and CT scans.

Today, we sincerely ask for your support. Any amount you can contribute will be a tremendous help to us at this critical moment. If you know Juan, you know he is a kind, committed, and loving man. His strength and dedication to his family are unmatched.

If you cannot help financially, sharing this message will also be greatly appreciated, as it will allow us to reach more people who can support us.

We sincerely thank you for your love and support during this difficult time. We look forward to our dad's speedy recovery, and any help you can provide will bring us closer to that goal.

With gratitude,
Fernanda Fernandez and the Fernandez Family.

Ayuda a Juan Manuel: Fundraising para Sus Gastos Médicos

Queridos amigos y familiares,

Hoy nos dirigimos a ustedes con el corazón en la mano, en un momento difícil para nuestra familia. Mi papá, Juan Manuel, un gran hombre, amigo, padre y abuelo, acaba de someterse a una cirugía donde se le removió gran parte del colon. Juan ha sido un pilar en nuestras vidas, siempre enseñándonos lecciones valiosas y estando presente en cada paso del camino.

A lo largo de su vida, Juan ha dedicado su tiempo y esfuerzo a mejorar nuestra comunidad en Puerto Vallarta. Ha trabajado incansablemente para reforzar el uso de la bicicleta como medio de transporte seguro y sostenible, impulsando la creación de ciclovías y pintando las líneas necesarias en las calles para respetar estos espacios. Además, ha organizado eventos para promover el uso de la bicicleta, fomentando un estilo de vida más saludable y ecológico. Su compromiso no se detiene ahí; también se ha dedicado a proteger y conservar nuestras áreas naturales y a trabajar en la conservación de las lagunas locales, luchando por un futuro mejor para todos.

Desafortunadamente, mi papá se ha encontrado enfermo durante algunos meses, visitando a médicos y tratando de descifrar qué es lo que tenía. Hace dos semanas, su salud se deterioró y tuvo que ser llevado de emergencia a un hospital público. Durante más de 48 horas estuvo en observación, y a pesar de esperar casi ser llevado a cirugía, se cometieron varias negligencias que nos obligaron a tomar la decisión de trasladarlo a un hospital particular.

Hoy les pido, con lágrimas en los ojos y el corazón el corazón roto, su ayuda, puesto que jamás me imaginé que tendría que ser así. Nunca me imaginé ver al hombre que siempre me ha hecho sentir segura tan vulnerable y frágil. Los gastos en el hospital privado han sido abrumadores y, aunque no sabemos el total exacto, la cuenta ya asciende a $130,000, sin contar los gastos adicionales de diversos médicos, medicamentos, radiografías y tomografías.

Hoy les pedimos, de corazón, su apoyo. Cualquier cantidad que puedan aportar significará una gran ayuda para nosotros en este momento tan crítico. Si conoces a Juan, sabes que es un hombre bueno, comprometido y un padre y abuelo amoroso. Su fortaleza y dedicación a su familia son inigualables.

Si no puedes ayudar económicamente, compartir este mensaje también será de gran ayuda, ya que nos permitirá llegar a más personas que pueden apoyarnos.

Agradecemos sinceramente su apoyo y amor en este momento tan difícil. Esperamos con ansias la pronta recuperación de nuestro papá y cualquier ayuda que puedan brindar nos acercará a esa meta.

Con gratitud,
Fernanda Fernández y Familia Fernández
