Help Ricardo Hylton Recover from Aneurysm

Donation protected
Hello community, my name is Marlon Weathers. I am urgently seeking immediate financial help to assist a family in Jamaica pay for surgery and medical expenses for a young 37-year-old father, who suffered a brain aneurysm early Wednesday morning of last week.

Ricardo Hylton is a single father of two young boys (Nichalos who is about 9 years old and Messiah who is just 2 ½). Rick or Cardo, as he is affectionately called, is a hardworking father who works as a mason alongside his uncle Oliver. Rick goes out on jobs whenever they are available. Oftentimes you see him walking to job sites with young Messiah on his shoulders, as he does not make enough to own a vehicle. Sometimes he has to walk several miles to get to a job location, as taxis are limited in the area in which he lives. I have known Rick for a number of years now, through his uncle who taught him his trade. He recently completed a small job for us along with his uncle. We got to know how good of a father he is when he brought his youngest son to work each day. Messiah is an amazing 2 ½ year old boy who idolizes his father, pretending to work alongside him with shovels and wheelbarrows. I have never seen another 2-year-old with such passion to learn hard work.

Rick is currently scheduled for urgent surgery at the University of The West Indies Hospital (UWI) in Kingston, Jamaica. The doctors had to make an urgent call this morning (11/10/24) to Rick's mother to make a decision to have the surgery done. The current estimated cost for surgery and medical expenses is 3,000,000+ JMD, which is roughly $20,000 USD. This is the amount I am prayerfully asking for to aid the family. Once out of surgery, Rick will also need rehab and medication, which will include physical therapy, in order to regain his mobility.

Please help Rick recover and be reunited with the children he loves so very much and ease the concern of his loving mom Patsy, as well as his father and sister. Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for considering contributing to this cause. Please also share this GoFundMe so that we can reach more people quickly. Sincere and urgent prayers are also especially needed. May God bless you all.
