<div>My name is Ruby Ortiz Schramm, and I am reaching out on behalf of my youngest son, Gabriel Martinez. Gabriel’s two kidneys have completely shut down. I have already lost my eldest son, Danny Martinez Jr., to kidney failure, and now we are facing this heartbreaking battle once again.

</div>

<div>Last year, Gabriel was admitted to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital due to complications with a medical port that needed to be replaced. During that stay, his heart stopped at one point, and at another, his breathing stopped. These serious health challenges have taken a heavy toll on our entire family.

</div>

</div>

<div>Gabriel has now applied for a kidney transplant, and we will be traveling to UCLA in December for consultations and preparation. We expect to make this trip three to four times a week. I am setting up this GoFundMe to ask for support in helping us cover travel, medical, and living expenses throughout this process.

</div>

</div>

<div>Any donation—no matter the amount—would mean so much to us and would be a great blessing to our family. We are deeply grateful for your kindness, prayers, and generosity.

</div>

</div>

<div>With sincere thanks,

</div>

<div>Ruby Ortiz Schramm
