Help the Benasa Family in Their Time of Need

Hello everyone,

We are reaching out to you with heavy hearts to share the story of Carlos Benasa, a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished member of our community. Carlos has been bravely battling a severe heart condition that has drastically impacted his health and well-being. Despite his unwavering spirit and determination, Carlos's health has rapidly declined, leaving his family in a dire situation.

Carlos's Medical Journey
Carlos has been under regular care from his cardiologist and primary doctor. On March 26, 2024, he was admitted to the hospital in Covina due to severe shortness of breath and swelling in both legs. After six days, he was discharged, only to return a short time later, more ill and weak. He suffered from difficulty breathing, excruciating abdominal pain, bloating, and severe edema.

Despite receiving extensive medical care, including hemodialysis to manage the accumulation of fluids in his body, Carlos's condition worsened. His organs began to fail, and the doctors exhausted all treatment options available to them. On May 3, 2024, outpatient hemodialysis began, but Carlos's blood pressure continued to drop, leading to a critical incident where he became unresponsive and was rushed to the emergency department.

The Fight for Better Treatment
Determined to seek better treatment, Carlos's family worked tirelessly to get him seen by a specialist in one of LA's finest hospitals. On June 3, 2024, Carlos was admitted with hope for a potential transplant. His spirit was lifted, and his fight against the illness remained strong, despite the physical and emotional toll it had taken.

While in the hospital, Carlos underwent several treatments to remove excess fluid and support his failing organs. Despite the medical team's best efforts, his condition continued to deteriorate. The devastating news came when doctors informed the family that his kidneys and liver were too damaged, making further treatment or a transplant impossible. With only 3-4 weeks left, Carlos and his family are now facing an unimaginable reality.

The Family's Urgent Need
Carlos's condition has left his wife and two young children facing a future without their beloved husband and father. The medical bills are overwhelming, and the family is struggling to make ends meet. The emotional and psychological distress is immense, but they remain hopeful and are fighting to support Carlos in his final days.
