On behalf of my Grandparents,

My uncle Ivan (Pudge to many) is currently fighting in the hospital after complications from cirrhosis placed him on a ventilator. This has been an incredibly difficult and emotional time for our family as we watch someone we love so dearly battle through such a critical condition.

Anyone who knows Ivan knows his kind heart, sense of humor, and the way he always shows up for the people he loves. Now, he needs us to show up for him. The medical expenses, along with the challenges of supporting his care, have created a heavy burden on our family especially my mother and grandmother who have been his round the clock care. We are reaching out to ask for prayers, support, and any financial help you can give during this difficult time.

Every donation, no matter the size, will go directly toward his medical costs and care needs. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, generosity, and compassion. Please keep Ivan in your thoughts and prayers as we hope for his recovery.

De parte de mis Abuelos,

Mi tío Ivan (Pudge para muchos) está luchando en el hospital después de que complicaciones de la cirrosis lo pusieran en un ventilador. Este ha sido un momento increíblemente difícil y doloroso para nuestra familia al ver a alguien a quien amamos tanto enfrentar una condición tan crítica.

Quienes conocen an Ivan saben de su gran corazón, su sentido del humor y la manera en que siempre está presente para las personas que quiere. Ahora, él nos necesita a nosotros. Los gastos médicos, junto con los desafíos de su cuidado, han creado una carga muy pesada para nuestra familia en especial para mi Mama y Abuela que estan a su cuidado 24/7. Por eso, recurrimos a ustedes para pedir oraciones, apoyo y cualquier ayuda económica que puedan brindar en este momento tan difícil.

Cada donación, sin importar el tamaño, irá directamente a cubrir los costos médicos y las necesidades de su cuidado. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por su bondad, generosidad y compasión. Por favor, mantengan a Ivan en sus pensamientos y oraciones mientras seguimos teniendo fe en su recuperación.

Gracias.

Update…

It is with great sadness to inform everyone that my uncle Ivan Medrano has been called home on 9/18/25. He is now reunited with his big brother and although he leaves a big hole in our hearts we find comfort knowing he is no longer suffering. Thank you so much for everyone that has reached out and checked on my family. With all of our hearts we appreciate every donation, prayer, or share yall have given us. We are now fundraising to ease the burden for my family and be able to give Ivan the proper resting he deserves ❤️‍

thank you.
