Help Julian Reynoso's Family in Crisis

Hi, my name is Josephine. I am a lifelong friend of Rachel Melendez, who is a mother of 3 girls and one boy. Rachel's one and only boy, 17-year-old Julian Reynoso, an incoming 12th grader at Pleasant Hill Academy, unfortunately went into cardiac arrest on 6/26/2025 while walking down the street from his home off of San Remo and Hartland Ct. He was just trying to sell his PS4. Julian was born with a rare heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. When Julian was a baby, the doctors performed the Norwood procedure, which reconstructs the heart to function correctly. Up until this point in Julian's life, he was doing fine with his regular cardiology follow-ups.

At the current time, Julian is in Nemours Children's Hospital in Lake Nona, and unfortunately, we have no expected date of when he will awake and return home. I am doing a GoFundMe for Julian and his family to help them in this time of need. During these past weeks, Julian's mother and stepfather have not returned to work and have left his side.

At this time, if you would like to donate to help offset some of the cost of Julian's care, any donations to help this family in their difficult time of need would be greatly appreciated. We can't begin to imagine the difficulty they must be going through right now. The future is unclear on how Julian will recover. With lots of prayer and hope, God will let this family recover. May God be with them always.
