Pastor Jorge Caballero Family

Donation protected
My father, Jorge Caballero, was a beloved pastor, father, brother, uncle and friend. He brought so much joy to people whether it was from his funny, sometimes even corny, jokes to his helping hand. He always put others before himself and not once while he was sick, did he ever let go of his ministry. He loved teaching others about God's word and bringing people closer to Him.
He had been struggling with his health for some months. He had a rare blood disorder called ITP.  After treatments failing for months, doctors decided that the best route was to remove his spleen. After the surgery he spent over two weeks in the hospital and today was his final day. He suffered from multiple heart attacks and ultimately they weren't able to bring him back.
We are all devestated but we find comfort to know that he is no longer in pain. Instead, now he is in Heaven watching over us with God. He knew how much all of us loved him and how much everyone prayed for him. I'm sure he would have wanted you all to know how grateful he was to meet each and everyone of you and how much he loved you all.
My father was the sole provider for our family of 5 and with medical bills and day to day bills its going to be tough getting by. So we decided to start this gofundme for those of you who want to donate to support my family during these tough times. We have set the goal to $1 because we are not asking to meet a goal or deadline. We believe that not only this family has been a witness to Jorge's generosity, but many others. However the fuel behind this generosity was our dad's ability to Give with JOY. We are not expecting everyone to give but only those who can give joyfully without minding the amount.
Thank you everyone!

Mi padre, Jorge Caballero, era un querido pastor, padre, hermano, tío y amigo. Llevaba tanta alegría a la gente, ya fuera por sus bromas graciosas, o por su mano amigable. Él siempre puso a otros antes de sí mismo y nunca dejo que su enfermedad afecte el trabajo que el hacia en la iglesia como pastor. Amaba enseñar a otros acerca de la palabra de Dios y acercar a las personas a Él.
Llevaba meses luchando con su salud. Tenía un trastorno sanguíneo raro llamado ITP. Después de que los tratamientos fracasaran durante meses, los médicos decidieron que la mejor ruta era remover su bazo. Después de la cirugía pasó más de dos semanas en el hospital y hoy fue su último día. Sufrió de múltiples ataques cardíacos y en última instancia no fueron capaces de traerlo de vuelta.
Todos estamos devastados, pero encontramos consuelo saber que ya no está sufriendo. En cambio, ahora está en el Cielo cuidándonos con Dios. Él sabía lo mucho que todos lo amábamos y cuánto oraban todos por él. Estoy seguro de que habría querido que todos sepan lo agradecido que estaba de conocer a cada uno de ustedes y cuánto los amó a todos.
Mi padre era el único proveedor para nuestra familia de 5 y con facturas médicas y cuentas del día a día va a ser difícil de conseguir. Así que decidimos comenzar este gofundme para aquellos de ustedes que quieren donar para apoyar a mi familia durante estos tiempos difíciles. Hemos fijado la meta a $ 1 porque no estamos interesados en cumplir alguna meta o plazo. Sabemos que no solo esta familia fue testigo de la generosidad de Jorge, pero muchas otras. No esperamos que todos den pues el motivo de la generosidad de nuestro papa siempre fue el dar con alegria. Apreciamos cualquier ayuda, pero aun mas aquella ayuda que con ella trae un sello de gozo.
