Medical funds for Marco Antonio Villarreal

Donation protected
Hello my name is Carolina De La Torre, I am starting this go fund me for my cousin, Marco Antonio Villarreal, who was in a terrible car accident and suffered life threatening injuries.

 On July 16, 2022, Marco was driving home on I-235 when he lost control of his vehicle, struck a guardrail, and was ejected out causing him to land more than 30ft below a bridge. It is a miracle that he is alive as his truck was completely destroyed and he sustained many injuries. He has over 22 fractured bones, including but not limited to both arms, fingers, left leg, ankle, ribs, hip, and skull. He also has multiple lacerations and blunt force trauma to his stomach that resulted in blood loss. He has undergone blood transfusions, several surgeries, and is currently sedated in the ICU battling all of his injuries. 
  Marco's family and friends are extremely devastated. Marco is only 20 years old with so much to give to this world & a wonderful person inside and out. He had dreams for his future and was very optimistic. He had recently started a new job at Super Car Guys and was beyond excited about his sales and how well it was going for him. Unfortunately, because he had just started, he did not have any disability benefits or health insurance.
 Marco has a long road to recovery as he is still undergoing several surgeries and will require ongoing medical treatment. It is estimated that he will remain in the hospital for 2 months. Once released he will need in home care and medical devices to function. His family will be in desperate need of help to cover all the expenses. Additionally, due to the severity of his injuries, Marco will be disabled and will be without income. 
 We are asking for support to pay his medical bills, funds for his recovery expenses (rehab/physical therapy), medical devices, loss of income, and aid for his family who will assist in caring for Marco. Thank you for any help you are able to give, no matter how small. We also ask that you keep him in your prayers.

 El 16 de julio de 2022, Marco conducía a su casa por la I-235 cuando perdió el control de su vehículo, golpeó una barandilla y salió expulsado, lo que provocó que aterrizara a más de 30 pies por debajo de un puente. Es un milagro que esté vivo ya que su vehículo quedó completamente destruido y sufrió muchas heridas. Tiene más de 22 huesos fracturados, incluidos, entre otros, ambos brazos, dedos, pierna izquierda, tobillo, costillas, cadera y cráneo. También tiene múltiples laceraciones y un traumatismo con objeto contundente en el estómago que provocó la pérdida de sangre. Se ha sometido a transfusiones de sangre, varias cirugías y actualmente está sedado en la UCI luchando contra todas sus heridas. 
  La familia y los amigos de Marco están extremadamente devastados. Marco tiene solo 20 años y mucho que dar a este mundo y es una persona maravillosa por dentro y por fuera. Tenía sueños para su futuro y era muy optimista. Recientemente había comenzado un nuevo trabajo en Super Car Guys y estaba más que entusiasmado con sus ventas y lo bien que le estaba yendo. Desafortunadamente, debido a que acababa de comenzar, no tenía ningún beneficio por discapacidad ni seguro médico. 
  Marco tiene un largo camino hacia la recuperación, ya que aún se somete a varias cirugías y requerirá tratamiento médico continuo. Se estima que permanecerá en el hospital durante 2 meses. Una vez dado de alta necesitará atención domiciliaria y dispositivos médicos para poder funcionar. Su familia necesitará desesperadamente ayuda para cubrir todos los gastos. Además, debido a la gravedad de sus lesiones, Marco quedará discapacitado y sin ingresos. 
  Estamos solicitando apoyo para pagar sus facturas médicas, fondos para sus gastos de recuperación (rehabilitación/terapia física), dispositivos médicos, pérdida de ingresos y ayuda para su familia que ayudará a cuidar a Marco. Gracias por cualquier ayuda que pueda brindar, por pequeña que sea. También le pedimos que lo tenga en sus oraciones.
