Hi, my name is Cynthia Silva. I am the niece of Trinidad, but many of you may know him as "Trini" or as he likes to be called "Big T".
Trini has been the glue to hold us together for many years, especially after losing his father, our Papa Chon. He has his baby girl Luchiana, his 4-legged son Otis, 17 bonus kids, his sisters, brothers, and mother who are waiting for him to come home healthy and ready for a second chance at life.
Unfortunately, my Tio has been in the ICU since 01/07/26, battling a life-threatening/altering medical emergency. He was on life support for 5 days following an emergency surgery that caused him to hemorrhage and lose a massive amount of blood, leading to cardiac arrest and life-saving measures. He was then transferred to another ICU where they are better equipped to continue giving him the best care! Since he was transferred, he has been fighting for his life in back-to-back surgeries and countless blood transfusions.
While we are hopeful he will recover and come out of this stronger, there is still a long road to recovery, and due to the severity of his health, working is currently off the table until doctors' approval. In this economy, with bills or any unforeseeable expenses, especially with rehabilitation/therapies in the future, we are asking for some help to support Trini during this time.
We are so grateful for all the prayers, healing thoughts, and even just reaching out to our family and sending positive vibes! God is big and with Him, anything is possible!
Thank you kindly,
Cynthia Silva
