Support Legal Battle to Save Luis Diaz Jr.
Donation protected
Hello Everyone,
I’ve made an update to this post to streamline the message while providing more context and keeping it focused on the cause. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
My name is Michelle Diaz, and I am reaching out on behalf of my brother, Luis Diaz Jr. We need your help to save Luis’s life—he is a beloved brother, uncle, and friend to many.
Luis is not suffering from a terminal illness; he is mentally clear, fully coherent, and deeply wants to live. However, due to ongoing legal issues, he is unable to make his own medical decisions. Despite being healthy, Luis’s life is at risk because of individuals who are not acting in his best interests.
Recently, decisions were made to stop all medications that prevent him from having seizures, and his medical chart was marked as "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR), even though Luis is fully aware and has expressed his strong desire to live. To make matters worse, he has been placed in hospice care, which has intensified our concerns about his well-being.
Several years ago, Luis suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, which we believe may have been triggered by significant stress at the time. Despite no longer being a part of his life, certain individuals continue to control his medical decisions through an outdated and questionable healthcare directive, while Luis has signed new legal documents expressing his wishes. Unfortunately, these new documents are being disregarded in favor of the old directive.
Why We Need Your Help
Luis has full mental clarity and simply wants to come home. However, under California law, the outdated directive still gives certain individuals legal control over his medical care. Despite Luis’s wishes and his newly signed legal documents, the medical facility and social workers are refusing to honor them. They continue to prioritize the old directive, which claims that Luis is incapable of making decisions for himself.
Regaining control over a loved one's care in this situation is incredibly difficult, and we are fighting to ensure that Luis’s wishes are respected. This legal battle is emotionally and financially taxing, but we are determined to get him the care he deserves and bring him home.
Our Goal
We have hired a lawyer to fight for Luis’s rights, but legal fees are high, and we need your support. Your donations will go directly toward covering the costs of his legal representation, which is crucial to stopping this injustice and giving Luis the chance to live his life on his terms.
How You Can Help
Every contribution makes a difference. Your support will help ensure that Luis has the opportunity to fight for his life and secure the care he deserves.
We are deeply grateful for your kindness and support during this challenging time. Please consider donating and sharing this campaign with others who may be able to help.
Together, we can make a difference.
