Struggling to Provide for Our Son with Autism and Diabetes – Please Help

My name is Hector, and I never imagined I’d be writing something like this. But today, I’m reaching out with an open heart, asking for your help.

My wife and I are parents to a loving 9-year-old boy named Sebastian who has both autism and type 1 diabetes . Every day is a balancing act between managing his complex medical and emotional needs—and simply trying to survive.

We are drowning financially.

His care requires constant medical attention: insulin, glucose monitors, therapy sessions , special education needs, and a highly structured routine. These aren’t optional—they’re essential for his health and safety. But they come at a cost we just cannot keep up with.

Why We’re Asking for Help
We are asking for your support to help us:

Catch up on rent and avoid eviction

Pay down medical-related debt

Cover basic living costs like groceries, utilities, and transportation

Give our son consistent access to therapy, insulin, and the care he depends on

We are hardworking people. We’re not giving up. But we can’t do this alone anymore. If you've ever struggled to stay afloat while trying to give your child everything they need, you know the helplessness we feel.

Every Donation Matters
No amount is too small. Whether it’s $5 or $500, your gift is a lifeline for our son and our family. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with someone who might. You have the power to help us breathe again.

From our family to yours—thank you for caring.


Luchando por Cuidar a Nuestro Hijo con Autismo y Diabetes – Ayúdanos por Favor

Mi nombre es Hector, y nunca pensé que tendría que escribir algo así. Pero hoy, con el corazón en la mano, pido tu ayuda.

Mi esposa y yo somos padres de un niño Sebastian de 9 años lleno de amor, que vive con autismo y diabetes tipo 1. Cada día es una lucha para atender sus complejas necesidades médicas y emocionales—y al mismo tiempo, simplemente sobrevivir.

Estamos ahogados financieramente.

Su cuidado requiere atención médica constante: insulina, monitores de glucosa, necesidades educativas especiales y una rutina altamente estructurada. Nada de esto es opcional—es vital para su salud. Pero todo tiene un costo que ya no podemos sostener.


¿Por Qué Pedimos Tu Ayuda?
Estamos buscando apoyo para poder:




Cubrir los gastos básicos como comida, servicios, y transporte

Darle a nuestro hijo acceso constante a terapias, insulina y cuidados vitales

Somos personas trabajadoras. No nos rendimos. Pero ya no podemos con todo solos.

Cada Donación Cuenta
Ninguna cantidad es pequeña. Ya sea $5 o $500, tu ayuda puede marcar la diferencia.

De nuestra familia a la tuya—gracias por tu compasión.
