Reynaldo Emergency Heart Surgery

Our family friend Reynaldo has worked as a self employed home maintenance and repair man for our family in Mexicalli, MX for over 11 years.  He is 51 years old and he has worked 7 days a week his whole life and currently earns ~ $20 (USD) per day for his work for our family and anyone willing to hire him on a daily basis. His modest wages are barely enough to put food on table for his family of three daughters. He recently recieved an eviction notice from his house for being two months late on rent after a slow holiday work season and recession in Mx Peso.  This weekend he suffered a severe heart attack requiring imediate surgery to replace damaged veins and artereis.  He remains unconcious in intensive care at a Mexicalli hospital.  Our family doctor in Mexicalli was able to secure a MX Gov't subsidy 310,000 Peso ($14,400 USD) of the 340,000 Peso ($15,800 USD) bill for the surgery required by Monday PST for him to survive.  With other medical expenses from the emergency care and follow-up we are seeking to raise $3,000 USD to cover his medical costs and a few months rent ($115 USD/mo).  My Wife Carolyn and I are commiting to match any donations through this account up to $1,000 USD to meet the $3,000 goal.  Small donations can go a long way with the strong value of USD vs Peso right now and the very humble living expenses of Reynaldo's family.  Please help Reynaldo and us save his life.  

My family also regularly donates clothing, shoes, and school supplies to his three daughters.  If anyone local to Mexicalli, Calexico, El Centro area wishes to support his family with donations, please send us a message.
