Help Hector Heal: Family in Need
Donation protected
Hello, everyone; we would like to thank you for taking the time to read this.
Hector is a father of three kids that consists of two beautiful girls (11 & 6 years of age) and a handsome young boy (5 years of age). He owns a small wall covering business but unfortunately all of his hard work and dreams are having to be placed on hold because of a tragedic accident.
On August 11, 2024, Hector went out to enjoy the evening on his motorcycle with some of his buddies. He never thought that his life would take a turn that would impact the rest of his life. While on the ride with his friends in the Baltimore Washington Parkway, the motorcycle he was riding had a malfunction. In a sharp turn, he noticed that he was losing control and would crash into a concrete barrier. He could maneuver the motorcycle in a way that prevented him from directly crashing into the barriers. Unfortunately, he still had a horrible fall that would leave him in the emergency room for weeks and in the operating room numerous times. He has two broken femur, an arm, a couple of broken ribs, a broken hip, and a broken tibia right leg. He had a completely reconstructed leg because he had a big part of his right leg missing tissue, muscle, and bones . When trapped between the motorcycle and road asphalt. By the grace of god, the doctors at the University of Maryland were able to save it after saying that it was more likely that they had to amputate his leg. He has gone through several surgeries to reconstruct his leg.
Doctors have used his own skin to transfer to this leg to cover the big gap of missing skin after the accident. He has been placed in platina to replace his bone. Hector will start receiving special physical therapy, hoping to regain his walking abilities.
In the meantime, hospital bills are stacking up with the urgency of being paid. Here I find myself, Carla (his wife) of two of his kids. Struggling to meet ends with the duties of covering bills, supplying food for the family having to maneuver through work, and being able to spend time with my kids. Talking to the Doctors, it seems like the bills will be around six figures just for the hospital. Left with other bills to cover for his recovery. I honestly thank God that the doctors did everything to help my husband, who is now in recovery, which will take months, years, and a life to fight. Now, I find myself with hope in God that by posting this to the public, we can get the help of many to cover the bills and the journey we will continue to have for my husband's healing. Firsthand, I want to thank everyone who will help and those who wouldn't be able to bless us with prayers. Thank you so much to all, and be blessed.
