Hi, my name is Maribel , and I’m starting this GoFundMe for my uncle, [Angel Torres], who recently suffered a serious medical event that turned our world upside down.

The last few weeks have been filled with uncertainty, hospital stays, and tough decisions. While we are incredibly thankful that he’s stable and showing signs of improvement, the road ahead is long and challenging. The next step in his journey is inpatient rehabilitation—an intensive process that could last for months. Unfortunately, this level of care is extremely expensive, and my uncle doesn’t qualify for insurance due to his income, even though he’s currently unable to work.

As you can imagine, the medical bills are already piling up. Between the cost of his ongoing treatment, the upcoming rehab stay, travel expenses, and the financial impact on his daughter Kaity—who has taken time away from work to help care for him—our family is feeling overwhelmed.

If you know my uncle, you know he’d give the shirt off his back to someone in need. He’s helped countless people over the years, without ever asking for anything in return. Now, we’re hoping to return the favor and rally around him in his time of need.

Any amount you can give would be such a blessing and would go directly toward his medical care, rehab costs, and helping our family stay afloat as we support him through this recovery. And if you’re not in a place to donate, your prayers and words of encouragement mean the world to us.

From the bottom of our hearts—thank you”
