Help pay Maribels medical bills

Donation protected
On October 7, 2022, my mother, Maribel Torres-Diaz, suffered a 12 foot fall onto concrete from her pergola while trimming the vines. She then spent four days in the hospital before going to live with her daughter Gloria where she is now recovering; dealing with a broken shoulder, fractured skull, and three vertebrate breaks on her upper upper spine/neck.
Before the accident my mom was working at The Colonnades Senior Living Center making $13.50 as a house keeper, well known and loved by the residents and employees. This was her only form of income, as she has recently separated and become financially independent; even before this accident, it was hard to make ends meet, supporting her daughter, Betzayra, who is still in high school, in addition to living costs.
This unexpected misfortune has not only taken away my mothers ability to work, she is also not able to live on her own until she is fully recovered. She has no savings and the medical bills are stacking up to be a lifetime of debt.
Any amount you are able to donate is greatly appreciated by our whole family. By donating you are helping Maribel get back to living her life comfortably. 

El 7 de octubre de 2022, mi madre, Maribel Torres-Diaz, sufrió una caída de 12 pies sobre concreto desde su pérgola mientras podaba las enredaderas. Luego pasó cuatro días en el hospital antes de irse a vivir con su hija Gloria, donde ahora se está recuperando; lidiando con un hombro roto, un cráneo fracturado y tres roturas de vertebrados en la parte superior de la columna/cuello superior. Antes del accidente, mi madre trabajaba en The Colonnades Senior Living Center ganando $13.50 como ama de llaves, muy conocida y querida por los residentes y empleados. Esta era su única forma de ingresos, ya que recientemente se separó y se volvió financieramente independiente; incluso antes de este accidente, era difícil llegar a fin de mes, manteniendo a su hija, Betzayra, que todavía está en la escuela secundaria, además de los costos de vida. Esta inesperada desgracia no solo le ha quitado la capacidad de trabajar a mi madre, sino que tampoco puede vivir sola hasta que esté completamente recuperada. No tiene ahorros y las facturas médicas se están acumulando para convertirse en una deuda de por vida. Cualquier cantidad que pueda donar es muy apreciada por toda nuestra familia. Al donar, estás ayudando a Maribel a volver a vivir su vida cómodamente.
