<div>Friends, family and wider community,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We reach out today with an urgent call for help. Our dear brother Mauricio (“Mau”), suffered a heart-related shock incident on April 8th as he was watching his favorite soccer team, Chivas, at the Akron stadium in Guadalajara. After his heart gave in, Mau immediately had to be taken to the intensive care unit. He is currently in critical but stable condition, is under sedation, and is awaiting heart transplant surgery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since his first day, Mau has battled through heart-related complications, including three open heart surgeries, an operation to install a pacemaker, and several pacemaker replacements. Complicating things further is the fact that Mau is ineligible for health insurance in Mexico because of his pre-existing condition. As a result, our family had to pay out of pocket for all of the costs associated with these operations.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nevertheless, we are grateful for every dime we have spent on Mau’s health. Thanks to continuously evolving modern technology, our brother has been able to live a largely normal and active life filled with adventure.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As a DJ and wedding planner, Mau has always taken great joy in helping others celebrate life and love, and has played an essential role in countless memorable nights for newlyweds on their most important day. He has confronted adversity with resilience at every turn and has touched everyone in his community with his gentle demeanor and big heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But today, more than ever, Mau’s heart needs us. While his heart has been working for over 35 years thanks to his pacemakers and medicines, the day has come when his heart can no longer do the work demanded of it. Mau has been added to a transplant waiting list and we are now waiting for him to get strong enough to handle heart transplant surgery. Unfortunately, the cost of heart transplant surgery without health insurance is exorbitant.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are asking today for your help in supporting Mau, and our family, through this enormously difficult time. We need help paying for Mau’s medical bills. We estimate that it will cost roughly $170,000 USD.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We know our brother will continue to fight for his life, but his ability to keep fighting requires all of us to pitch in however we can. The best and most direct help you can give is through this GoFundme effort. Every dollar counts. If Mau has touched you in any way, please consider taking this time to show that love back in his time of need.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please share this GoFundMe far and wide: 10 dollars from a stranger matters. 20 dollars from one of your coworkers makes a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And finally, please hold Mau in your hearts and prayers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With our deepest gratitude,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mau's Family
</div>
<div><br />

<div>Amigos, familiares y comunidad,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Nos comunicamos hoy con una llamada urgente de ayuda. Nuestro querido hermano Mauricio (“Mau”) sufrió un incidente relacionado con el corazón el 8 de abril mientras veía a su equipo de futbol favorito, Chivas, en el estadio Akron en Guadalajara. 
</div>
<div>Después de que su corazón cediera, Mau tuvo que ser trasladado de inmediato a la unidad de cuidados intensivos del Hospital Puerta de Hierro. Actualmente se encuentra en estado crítico pero estable, bajo sedación y a la espera de una cirugía de trasplante de corazón.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Desde su primer día, Mau ha luchado contra complicaciones cardiológicas, incluyendo tres cirugías de corazón abierto, una operación para instalar un marcapasos y múltiples reemplazos de marcapasos. Para complicar aún más las cosas, Mau nunca ha sido candidato para cobertura médica en México debido a su condición congénita. Nuestra familia ha tenido que cubrir todos los costos asociados con estas operaciones a lo largo de su vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Claramente, estamos agradecidos por cada centavo que hemos gastado en la salud de Mau y el apoyo que hemos recibido de amigos y familiares durante todos sus momentos difíciles. Gracias a la tecnología moderna en constante evolución, Mau ha podido vivir una vida en gran parte normal y activa llena de aventuras.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como DJ y wedding planner, Mau siempre ha gozado ayudar a otros a celebrar la vida y el amor. Se ha enfrentado a la adversidad con resiliencia en todo momento y ha conmovido a todos en su comunidad con su comportamiento amigable y su gran corazón.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy, más que nunca, el corazón de Mau nos necesita. Si bien, su corazón ha estado trabajando durante más de 35 años gracias a sus marcapasos y medicamentos, pero ha llegado el día en que su corazón ya no puede hacer el trabajo que se le exige.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mau está en lista de espera para un transplante y estamos esperando que se estabilice y recupere fuerzas para soportar una cirugía más. Desafortunadamente, el costo de un trasplante de corazón sin seguro médico es exorbitante.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Sabemos que Mau seguirá luchando por su vida pero hoy pedimos de su apoyo para pagar la cirugía y su estadía en el hospital. Estimamos que tendrá un costo de aproximadamente $170,000 USD (3 millones de pesos).
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La mejor ayuda que pueden brindar es a través de este donativo de GoFundMe. Cada peso cuenta. Si Mau ha tocado tu vida de alguna manera, por favor considera tomarte el tiempo para demostrarle ese amor en este momento de necesidad.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ayúdanos a compartir este link de GoFundMe: 100 pesos de un extraño cuentan. 200 pesos de uno de tus compañeros de trabajo hacen la diferencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Y finalmente, pedimos que tengan a Mau en sus corazones y oraciones.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con nuestro más profundo agradecimiento,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>La familia de Mau
