Help Julio and Family with Medical Expenses

Hello everyone, my name is Julia Quintero and I am fundraising for my 13-year-old nephew Julio. About 2 weeks ago Julio started experiencing unexplained disorientation and anxiety which then progressed into hallucinations and irritability. He was admitted into UC Davis Medical Center where he was diagnosed with Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis: an autoimmune condition in which the body produces antibodies that act against receptors in the brain, resulting in both neurologic and psychiatric symptoms. He is currently undergoing numerous tests to determine how he contracted it. Julio has swelling of the brain and is experiencing seizures. His mother Vianey is not able to work while she stays at the hospital along side Julio. Julio has a little sister and older brother who want their brother back home. We are asking for any amount of help for the family. The money raised will go towards medical expenses, treatment and loss of wages due to his mother being out of work.

Your thoughts and prayers mean more than you can imagine as our family goes through this sudden and difficult time! If you are unable to donate, please please please share this with your friends and family.

Thanks on behalf of Julio, Vianey, Arturo, Evelyn, Dominic and the rest of the family.
