Help Michael Diaz Fulfill His Last Wish

Hi my name is George and I am trying to raise funds to have my older brother transferred back to his hometown in California.

Michael Diaz was born on October 13 1989 in San Bernardino California. Where he grew up with an older brother, two younger brothers and a younger sister. He really took on the role of BIG BROTHER toward his siblings. We would say it has not been an easy life but a full life. Not only has he played a father-like role to his siblings, but he also has a few kids of his own; his daughter Mia (12), son Mikie (10), daughter Myla (7) and youngest daughter Miya (4) and his angel who gained her wings two days after birth in 2010, Sophia.

Michael was diagnosed with Amyothropic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in 2019 and was told by doctors he only had three years of life, yet he has stayed strong and has continued to hang on for 5 years. There is no cure for ALS and because of this through the years his condition has progressed and has been in a Skilled Nursing facility for almost 2 years now. He is unable to move or feel his body, only able to move his eyes and mouth to speak. Michael is on a Mechanical Ventilator as he is no longer able to breath on his own.

His last wish is to “go back home” to be surrounded by his friends and family before he has to say his last goodbyes. He is currently in Colorado with no family, all while trying to fight for visitation rights to see his kids, as their mother won't allow them to visit. The funds raised with your help would cover the cost of an AIR AMBULANCE to fly him back to California, with his condition and care requirements it is a big cost. He appreciates any donation made towards his last wish. Thank you!

Hola, mi nombre es George y estoy tratando de recaudar fondos para que mi hermano mayor pueda regresar a su ciudad natal en California.

Michael Díaz nació el 13 de octubre de 1989 en San Bernardino, California, donde creció con un hermano mayor, dos hermanos menores y una hermana menor. Realmente asumió el papel de HERMANO MAYOR con sus hermanos. Diríamos que no ha sido una vida fácil, pero sí plena. No solo ha desempeñado un papel de padre con sus hermanos, sino que también tiene algunos hijos propios: su hija Mia (12), su hijo Mikie (10), su hija Myla (7) y su hija menor Miya (4) y su ángel que obtuvo sus alas dos días después de nacer en 2010, Sophia.

A Michael le diagnosticaron esclerosis lateral amiotrófica (ELA) en 2019 y los médicos le dijeron que solo le quedaban tres años de vida, pero se ha mantenido fuerte y ha seguido aguantando durante 5 años. No existe cura para la ELA y, debido a esto, su condición ha progresado a lo largo de los años y ha estado en un centro de enfermería especializada durante casi 2 años. No puede moverse ni sentir su cuerpo, solo puede mover los ojos y la boca para hablar. Michael está conectado a un respirador mecánico porque ya no puede respirar por sí mismo.

Su último deseo es "volver a casa" para estar rodeado de sus amigos y familiares antes de tener que decir su último adiós. Actualmente se encuentra en Colorado sin familia, mientras intenta luchar por los derechos de visita para ver a sus hijos, ya que su madre no les permite visitarlo. Los fondos recaudados con su ayuda cubrirían el costo de una AMBULANCIA AÉREA para llevarlo de regreso a California, debido a su condición y los requisitos de atención que requiere, es un gran costo. Se agradece cualquier donación que se haga para cumplir su último deseo. ¡Gracias!
