Hi everyone, my name is Marisol Ramos.

I normally wouldn’t share something so personal but right now my family is going through one of the hardest moments we’ve ever faced and I feel I have to reach out.

My grandpa, my world - who raised me like his own and has been my father figure my whole life — is in urgent need of open-heart surgery in Mexico. The cost is overwhelming. As a family, we are doing everything we can to cover what we can, but we are trying to raise at least half so that he can receive the care he needs.

It’s not easy for me to ask this, but if you feel moved to help in any way — whether through a donation, sharing this message, or simply keeping my grandpa in your thoughts and prayers — it would mean more than I can put into words. All funds will go directly to his medical expenses and hospital bills.

Thank you so much for reading this, for caring, and for any support you’re able to give — even if it’s just sending love and prayers our way. I am deeply grateful for each of you.
