Dear Friends/Family/Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out on behalf of my dad, who is currently going through a life-changing — and life-saving — moment.

After 5 ½ long years on dialysis, my dad recently received an emergency kidney transplant. This is something we’ve hoped and prayed for over many years, and we are incredibly grateful for this second chance at life. The transplant came unexpectedly, and while we are thankful, the timing and circumstances have placed a financial strain on our family.

My dad has been living with disability for over 30 years, and his ability to work has been limited. With the recovery process now underway, he will be unable to manage even small tasks for the next several weeks — including covering his basic bills and living expenses. As he focuses on healing and adjusting to this major medical change, I’m asking for help to support him through this critical period.

Any contribution — no matter how small — would go directly toward helping him cover essentials like mortgage , utilities, and transportation to follow-up appointments. Even just sharing this message with others who might want to help means a lot to us.

If you’re able to help in any way, please reach out to me directly, my brother Federico Macias Jr. or use GoFundMe link, both Zelle, or Apple Pay are my dads accounts and phone number that would go directly to him.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness, love, and support during this time. We’re hopeful that this transplant is the beginning of a new chapter of health and peace for my dad — and your support is a part of making that possible.

With gratitude,

Josephine Macias
