Help Noe Recover from his Injury
Donation protected
[Español abajo]
The Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition is looking for support for a beloved member of our community. Noe Mendoza is an activist, musician, and active member of the Athens community for more than 15 years. He and his brother, Beto, are founders of the immigrant rights movement here in Athens. It would be impossible to name all of Noe’s contributions to our community because he has helped so many people over the years. Now it is time for us to help him.
Noe, a car mechanic by trade, has been diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis, a condition in his lower spine that has made him unable to work. He is in a lot of pain and the use of his legs has been affected. Noe has had to visit the ER multiple times and doctors are now recommending physical therapy before considering an operation. As someone who is uninsured, Noe will have to pay for the medical costs of therapy in full, and living expenses as he is unable to make an income.
You may know Noe from seeing him at various protests and demonstrations - he is known for his enthusiasm - shouting through a megaphone and energizing the crowd. Or maybe you’ve seen him and his band, Incatepec, playing music at LatinxFest (which he also helped found). Your children may have met him at their school since he and his band have visited nearly all of them to share their music and culture with the kids.
Noe supports our community in so many ways. He needs our support now. Please donate whatever you can to help him as he recovers in these uncertain times.
You can donate here or to the AIRC Venmo, @AIRC_Athens. You can pay by check, made out to Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition, and mail to 452 N. Billups St. Athens, GA 30606. Please note it is for Noe Mendoza in the memo line. To offer other resources, please reach out to us on our website.
Thank you so much!

Noe Mendoza es activista, mecánico y músico. Desde hace casi 15 años ha sido un miembro activo de la comunidad de Athens. Junto con su hermano Beto es fundador del movimiento de derechos de los inmigrantes en Athens. Sería difícil enumerar todas las contribuciones que Noe ha hecho a nuestra comunidad. Desde que llegó a Athens ha ayudado a muchísima gente. Ahora nos toca ayudarlo.
Recientemente Noe ha sido diagnosticado con espondilolistesis, una condición muy dolorosa en la columna, que le impide trabajar y le ha afectado el uso de las piernas. Por esta razón ha tenido que ir a la sala de emergencias varias veces y los doctores le recomiendan ahora que haga terapia física, antes de considerar una operación. Noe no tiene seguro de salud y ahora que no puede trabajar se le hace difícil cubrir los gastos médicos.
Si alguna vez usted estuvo en alguna protesta o demostración en Athens, seguro que conoce a Noe. Suele ser el que tiene más entusiasmo y el que propone consignas con su megáfono para animar a los manifestantes. O quizás lo ha visto con su banda, Incatepec, tocando en LatinxFest (del que también es miembro fundador). Seguramente sus hijos lo conocen también ya que ha visitado junto con su banda casi todas las escuelas de Athens para compartir su música y su cultura.
Noe apoya a nuestra comunidad de muchas maneras. Ahora necesita que nosotros lo apoyemos. Por favor contribuya lo que pueda para ayudarlo mientras se recupera en estos tiempos inciertos.
Se puede mandar donaciones a través de Venmo @AIRC_Athens, o por cheque escrito al nombre de ‘Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition’ y mandado a la dirección: 452 N. Billups St, Athens GA 30606. Por favor, incluya que es para Noe Mendoza en el cheque. Para ayudar de otra manera contacte con nosotros en nuestro sitio web.
¡Muchas gracias!
