Stand with Alex in His Time of Need

Let's unite to support Alex!!

Hi, my name is Alex Yahir Martínez Zúñiga. I'm a 22-year-old boy, and I'm about to finish my degree at FIME. Last April 23rd, at the recommendation of my doctor after several days of having some breathing problems, I was hospitalized to have a CT scan because something wasn't right with my lungs. The result... A suspicious malformation between my heart and lungs, which only with surgery could know an exact diagnosis. I had the surgery on April 29th with a really discouraging outlook. Added to this, my body didn't coagulate, so they couldn't close me, and I remained for almost 3 days in intensive care. I have received about 46 blood transfusions, as many platelets, and plasma (by the way, God bless each and every one of the donors).

My dad used his medical expense insurance; however, that resource has already run out, and it is necessary to transfer me to another hospital (with the risk of not making it). While this is being carried out, the hospital bill continues to run. At the moment, without taking into account the cost of medical insurance, they are asking us for $200 thousand a day. We have already used the closest resources (medium insurance + $500 thousand); however, this has not been enough for us, and every day that passes, the bill increases.

I am extremely grateful to you, who took the time to read my story (which I summarized as best I could).
