Help Luis Vega Boondocks K9 SAR
Donation protected
On Saturday February 27th, Luis Vega suffered a massive stroke and was flown to Shands hospital in Gainesville, where he was in intensive care. He remained in critical condition, and the doctors were unsure what the longterm effects of the stroke would be. What we did know is that Luis would not be home for several months, and upon release from the hospital , he would most likely undergo a lengthy recovery.
Within the first 15 days Luis suffered several additional brain strokes which caused a rare condition called "Locked-In Syndrome." At this point he was unable to move anything other than his eyes but at times was aware of his surroundings. After a couple more massive brain strokes, the doctor's determined there was no more function in his brain.
Luis was moved from Shands to the the hospital in Leesburg and from there, on March 22, he was transferred to Hospice. On March 24, 2021, Luis passed away from complications of the several massive strokes.
His wife, Liza, is trying her best to maintain Boondocks K9 SAR, the Boondocks training facility for dogs (which are non-profit organizations). She also maintains the Vega Weims breeding facility as well as taking care of her home, her family and herself. Unfortunately, it has become impossible her to maintain the search and rescue unit and the breeding facility due to lack of monitary resources.
Luis was the sole provider for his family. With the strokes and then his passing, no current funds are coming in.
Liza is asking for help to pay for rent & utilities for her home, as well as money to feed the remaining dogs that are located at the training facility. Most importantly to pay for the astronomical medical bills that continue come in. At present, the running total for medical bills are above $1,000,000.00.
Luis has always been a strong supporter in the community as well as helping in natural disasters in other places including the hurricane support in Puerto Rico & The Bahamas.
We feel that this is our opportunity to give back and support Liza in her most desperate hour of need.
