The morning of January 29th, 2017, my father woke up early in the morning as usual preparing food for his business. As he prepared his food, he experienced two strokes and a heart attack in between. He was quickly transported to the ER and was admitted to ICU. He became unresponsive and was medically induced into a coma. After a week, he experienced two other strokes. Which he had swelling of the left side of his brain and internal bleeding in his head that caused temporary paralyzation on his left side. He has been slowly recuperating in the hospital and it's still unknown if he will ever completly regain mobility in his left side. 

My family was called by the doctor and was recommended that he go to a care facility but due to a lack of finances and insurance the family does not have that as an option at this moment.

My family is desperately trying to come up with the funds to admit him into the care facility but between hospital bills, prescriptions, medical supplies (wheel chair/ramps/bathroom railings), rent, and all other living expenses we are unable to provide my father with the necessary treatment so that he can fully recuperate.

My father is expected to be medically discharged as of next week and we are expected to come up with over $10,000 just to admit him. This does not include all other medical bills to provide the adequate care.

My father has had a rough life and has always been a sole provider for his family. He has never depended on anyone and has always given his shirt off of his back to those who need it the most. He has stated multiple times that he wishes to continue to work even after he recuperates and refuses to give up on life. We desperately ask you on his behalf to give him a second chance in life by donating or by saying a prayer for health.

La mañana del 29 de enero de 2017, mi padre se despertó temprano en la mañana como de costumbre preparando comida para su negocio. Mientras preparaba su comida, experimento dos derrame cerebrales y un ataque cardiaco. Fue rápidamente transportado a la sala de emergencias y fue admitido en la ICU. Se quedó sin respuesta y fue inducido médicamente en coma. Después de una semana, experimentó dos derrame cerebrales. Que tenía hinchazón del lado izquierdo de su cerebro y hemorragia interna en su cabeza que causó parálisis temporal en su lado izquierdo. Se ha estado recuperando lentamente en el hospital y todavía se desconoce si algun dia recuperará completamente la movilidad en su lado izquierdo.

Mi familia fue llamada por el médico y se le recomendó que fuera a un centro de rehabilitacion, pero debido a la falta de finanzas y seguro medico no podra ir atender sus necesidades.

Mi familia está tratando desesperadamente de obtener los fondos para admitirlo en el centro de rehabilitacion, pero entre las facturas del hospital, las recetas, los suministros médicos, el alquiler y todos los demás gastos de subsistencia mi padre no podra recivir el tratamiento adecuada. 

Se espera que mi padre sea dado de alta a partir de la próxima semana y se espera que pague más de $10,000 dolares sólo para admitirlo. Esto no incluye todas las otras facturas médicas para proporcionar la atención adecuada.

Mi padre ha tenido una vida dura y siempre ha sido un proveedor único para su familia. Nunca ha dependido de nadie y siempre ha dado su camisa de su espalda a los que más lo necesitan. Ha dicho varias veces que desea seguir trabajando después de que se recupere y se niega a renunciar a la vida. Le pedimos desesperadamente  que le dé una segunda oportunidad en la vida donando o con una oracion.

Muchisimas gracias y que Dios se los multiplique al cien por uno.  - La Familia Montiel
