Help my family with unexpected expenses
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Mariana Londono, my Dad is Leon Londono, he was diagnosed with Colon cancer on 01/2023, he received an emergency surgery to remove the tumor and get a colostomy bag, for the past 10 months my Dad has had other medical complications as he developed a hernia as a result of that surgery, he had to go thru Chemotherapy and attend many doctor’s appointments and with all these he was able to overcome his cancer, however, other complications persisted. On Saturday 10/27 my Dad had a surgery to revert his colostomy and give him back his quality of life, however, he had many complications while in surgery due to his hernia as they cannot close his stomach, he also got a bacteria while in surgery and has a respiratory complication, which led to him being in the ICU for the past 10 days, he needed to be intubated and has been fighting for his life since then.
Being his only child and living in the US while he is in Colombian going thru all these is very heartbreaking and not pleasant at all, this is why I decided to catch a last minute flight to Colombia to be with him as I know he really needs my love and support right now.
Unfortunately we are not always prepared for these unexpected events, and any medical conditions always bring unexpected expenses, this is why I’m found raising to help cover all his medical expenses and also the big gap that being here with him and not working will leave for me as I’m not getting paid for the days I’m in Colombia, and I honestly don’t know when I’m going to be able to return to the US and continue with my regular activities.
I’m really doing everything I can to help my Dad overcome these challenging times, I’ve noticed some improvement on his health since I got here as they were able to remove the tube, even though they needed to put it again after his second surgery on 11/04 and this really fills my heart to see how my love and company is giving him strength to keep fighting for his life.
He continues to be in delicate condition and still needs to get some surgeries and procedures, I would really love to stay here and continue to support him during these hard times until he can make it out of the ICU or even better until he goes back home healthy and strong. This takes a big emotional and mental toll on me being in another country and knowing my Dad is in this condition.
We would really appreciate the help, the prayers and the support
