Help Oscar Survive – A Father, Friend & Fighter Needs Us Now
Hi, my name is Torie, and I’m raising funds for someone incredibly important to me—Oscar Castano.
Oscar was in a horrific motorcycle accident and is currently in the ICU after enduring multiple surgeries to his femur, spine, and both arms. His injuries are extensive, and his road to recovery will be long, painful, and extremely costly.
To make matters worse, he has no health insurance. The hospital is preparing to discharge him in under 48 hours—even though he still requires critical care. His rehabilitation alone is projected to cost $15,000 every two weeks, and we are simply not equipped to cover these overwhelming expenses.
But Oscar is far more than a patient in a hospital bed—he is:
• A full-time single father to a beautiful autistic son who depends on him daily
• A devoted friend and provider for his extended family in Colombia
• A hardworking, selfless man who has always put others first
Earlier this year, Oscar was the victim of a hit-and-run accident that forced him into financial hardship and made it impossible for him to maintain insurance. Now, this second tragedy has left him completely vulnerable—with no income, no insurance, and no safety net.
When it rains, it pours—but this is our chance to be the sunshine in Oscar’s storm.

Your Support Will Help Cover:
• Life-saving surgeries and medical expenses
• Long-term physical therapy and rehabilitation
• Mental health support for trauma recovery
• Home modifications and medical equipment, if mobility is permanently affected
• Financial support for Oscar’s son while he is unable to work
Oscar would never ask for help—but right now, he truly needs all of us.
Whether it’s $5 or $500, every donation brings him one step closer to healing. If you can’t donate, please share this link. Help us spread the word and give Oscar a fighting chance.
Let’s show him that he is not alone. Let’s fight for him, the way he has always fought for everyone else.
With gratitude,
—Torie
