Disabled Vet former Police officer in need of help
Donation protected
Hi, I'm Tamra Duarte, and I’m fund raising for my most awesome neighbors and friends Chris and Kathryn Martinez. Chris is a disabled Veteran, former Marine, Former BCSO Deputy and Former VIA Transit Police Officer who went in for a hernia operation August the 7th of this year and he is still in the hospital. His small intestine was perforated during the initial surgery, and now He has had to have 5 major abdominal surgeries. He became sepsis and had an abscess develop in his abdominal cavity due to the perforation. He has had 6 JP tubes placed to drain the abscesses in adding to 4 additional surgeries. He now has an ostomy bag, a tube, and a pic line with 3 lumens and bilateral hernias. He's on TPN Total Parenteral nutrition currently that is the only thing sustaining him and he is still in the hospital. They are paying out of pocket 300.00 per week just for his antibiotics alone, and the medical bills are growing. Kathryn hasn’t been able to work either trying to take care of him and their family. They are in need of immediate financial help! Any amount would be so very appreciated and of course your prayers are much appreciated! Just $5 to $20 from each person I know and work with would be an enormous help! Thank you so much!!
