Support Antonio Lechuga's Road to Recovery
Donation protected
My name is Evelyn and I am doing a GoFundMe for my dad. My dad, Antonio Lechuga (or Tony), has been a barber in the community for over 25 years. My dad has recently faced some hardships. His health has taken a decline. In the last few weeks, he’s had hernia surgery and was also diagnosed with severe migraines and a brain tumor. It grew to about 1 1/2 inches. It started to push on his pituitary gland, which is part of the brain that controls every part of your body, and it squished his vision nerves. He could not see, and one eye was completely shut. In the other, his vision looked like "shattered glass." The surgeons were not sure whether he'd get his vision back. They also basically said that with all those things, it is a miracle he never got a fever because if he did, he would've died. Thank God he is here, and surgeons said his surgery was FANTASTIC. It was done through the nose to the middle of his brain. So, we're working on getting him back to normal.
Considering the circumstances, our family has been facing financial hardships since he has been the provider for our family. We’re reaching out to the community and would appreciate any help that can be given to get us through the next few months or so, while he is on his way to recovery.
