Julio is a huge part of our community, always going above and beyond to help us expats in countless ways. Whether it's repairing boards, delivering, surf instructing, fresh fish, offering transportation, or running fishing charters, Julio shows up with a smile and a helping hand.

But what truly stands out is the kind of husband and father he is: loving, present, and dedicated.

Now, Julio and his family need our help.

He has recently been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is currently in the hospital awaiting surgery. As you can imagine, this is a frightening and uncertain time for him and his loved ones.

While many questions remain, one thing is clear: Julio and his family urgently need financial support.

These funds will go toward covering:

Medical expenses for diagnosis, surgery, and treatment.

Living / housing expenses for his family, as Julio is the primary provider

Any amount you can contribute will make a real difference. Please share this with others who know Julio or who might be able to help.

Thank you for standing with Julio and his family during this difficult time.
