Help for Karlita and her Family

Donation protected
Hi everybody!

We are reaching out to raise funds for our beloved friend Karlita Aguirre Matos (36 years old) who has LUPUS and just delivered her baby girl Danna.  She is currently hospitalized at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, FL. Due to the severe complication from LUPUS, blood clots formed causing her both arms to become severely swollen and she risks losing her hands as a result.

The doctors had to make multiple incisions/cuts on her hands and arms to help to relieve the swelling caused by the blood clots, but now, they cannot close the wounds until the severe swelling is reduced. She is suffering from unimaginable pain and is currently on very strong medication.

Almost two weeks have passed since her C-Section, but her condition has not improved.  There are still OPEN wounds on her hands and arms, which are still swollen and purple (from the blood clotting).

The doctors are doing everything they can to avoid amputation of hands.

Her husband Beto, who is the only provider for the family, had to stop working to help with her biological needs (feeding her and helping her in the bathroom) and of course be present to support her emotionally and psychologically.

She has seen her precious new-born baby daughter Danna, only twice since she was born.  Karlita is very sad and is often overcome with sadness and cries because she is unable to see her baby girl and her 9 year- old son as well.  Both children are being cared for by their paternal grandmother, who can only do so for a few more months, before she return to her country.

This family relies on the love and friendship of very close friends as they do not have any other immediate family members in the United States.

Karlita is a very loving and caring mother, a good friend, and a wonderful person. Her singular wish is to be able to hold her baby girl on her arms and take care of her children.

This unfortunate outcome of her delivery has had a very big financial impact on her family as there are numerous expenses that needs to be taken care of medically and at home.

This GoFundMe page was created to alleviate their financial situation and we ask everyone who can, to help in any way they can.  Your kind donations will go a long way in helping this family cope with the enormous stress they currently face and will continue to face for a long time.

Any help will be a blessing to this family and tremendously appreciated. 

Sincerely.
