Support for My Dad's Medical & Family Needs

Donation protected
On March 4th, my dad Jose Estrella was hospitalized after experiencing pain on his left side near his ribs. He has a tumor of about 20 cm, but we still don't know if it's malignant or not. It's been almost three weeks since he was admitted, and the uncertainty has been incredibly hard on our family. About a week ago, my brother flew to Mexico to be by my dad's side and support him through this rough time. The doctors have told us that my dad's platelets are low and that he needs blood. They are planning to do a biopsy soon to determine the critical state of the tumor, and we are anxiously waiting for answers.

We are raising this GoFundMe to help my brother with the mounting medical bills, transportation costs (since it takes him two hours to get to the hospital where my dad is located), food, and all the necessities he needs while caring for our dad. Every day brings new challenges, and the expenses are adding up quickly. My brother is doing everything he can to support our dad, but it's a lot to handle alone.

We are grateful for any help you can offer, whether it's a donation, keeping my dad in your prayers, or lighting a candle in his name. These are difficult times, but we are trying to stay positive and trust that God will keep us strong. Thank you for your kindness and support—it truly means the world to our family.

El 4 de marzo, mi papá, José Estrella, fue hospitalizado después de sentir dolor en el lado izquierdo, cerca de las costillas. Tiene un tumor de aproximadamente 20 cm, pero aún no sabemos si es maligno o no. Ya casi se cumplen tres semanas desde que fue ingresado, y la incertidumbre ha sido increíblemente difícil para nuestra familia.

Hace aproximadamente una semana, mi hermano viajó a México para estar al lado de mi papá y apoyarlo en este momento tan duro. Los doctores nos informaron que mi papá tiene las plaquetas bajas y que necesita sangre. También planean hacerle una biopsia pronto para determinar el estado del tumor, y estamos esperando ansiosamente los resultados.

Estamos creando este GoFundMe para ayudar a mi hermano con los gastos que siguen aumentando: las cuentas médicas, los costos de transporte (ya que tarda dos horas en llegar al hospital donde está mi papá), comida y todas las necesidades básicas mientras cuida de él. Cada día trae nuevos retos, y los gastos se acumulan rápidamente. Mi hermano está haciendo todo lo posible para apoyar a nuestro papá, pero es mucho para manejar solo.

Agradecemos profundamente cualquier ayuda que puedan ofrecer, ya sea una donación, mantener a mi papá en sus oraciones o encender una vela en su nombre. Estos tiempos son muy difíciles, pero tratamos de mantenernos positivos y confiar en que Dios nos dará la fuerza para seguir adelante.

Gracias por su amabilidad y apoyo. Significa el mundo para nuestra familia.
