I am starting this GoFundMe to help ease some financial burden on our family so we can focus our attention on Lola G (my mother) and Tito V (my brother) who will need all our time and support these trying times. They have been through so much. I hope this undertaking can somehow lift them and let them know they are not in this alone.
Our family has always taken life as light and as easy as we can but unfailingly fought through tough times (which does not happen a lot). I always thought that we are that blessed and will never get to this level of being weak and helpless. It’s an irony that the heart they used in helping others is the same heart that needs help from others.
My mama (mother) who devoted her life to raising me and my brother by herself, never remarried after my father died 7 years after their marriage is currently being cared in the Intensive Care Unit of AUF Medical Foundation because of heart and liver concerns. She hasn’t been given a final diagnosis, but doctors informed us of multiple mild heart attacks and fluid buildup in her body with a possibility of Dialysis. She is scheduled for an Angiogram today (6/9). She has been in and out of the hospital since 5/21.
My brother who I look up to as a man and as a father is currently at the Heart Center for his second Heart Bypass at age 49. He was admitted on 5/13, had surgery on 5/15 and had to reopen sutures on 5/27 to treat the infection from surgery. He is a strong but stubborn man (runs in the family) who I know will never ask for help (esp. financially). But this one time, I know we need some help to ease some pain away from Mama and V and to make their situation less stressful.
I am my mother’s son and my big brother’s little brother, who also carries the stubbornness DNA and would never ask for help. But this once, please help with anything you can. Even if it is just kind words. Thank you!
