Luis Mario, a hardworking husband and father from Miami, Florida, has always been dedicated to supporting his family and community. For years, he ran two coin laundries, working tirelessly to provide for his wife and daughter, Gabriela, who is 21 and currently in school. Six months ago, everything changed when Luis Mario suffered a severe stroke. The stroke left him completely dependent on others for daily care, including the use of a urine line, and he now faces a long and challenging road to recovery.

Since the stroke, Luis Mario’s wife has become the sole provider for the family, working as much as possible while also caring for him at home. Insurance has not covered the essential therapies and nursing care that Luis Mario needs, leaving the family struggling to afford even the most basic support. Physical therapy is especially critical right now, as it offers the best hope for Luis Mario to regain his ability to walk and reclaim some independence. His greatest wish is to walk again and return to work, supporting his family as he always has. The cost of a nurse for six hours a day and ongoing therapy sessions is overwhelming, and the family’s resources are stretched thin despite help from relatives.

Your support will help cover the cost of a nurse and vital physical therapy sessions, giving Luis Mario the chance to work toward recovery and allowing his wife to continue working to support their family. Every contribution will make a real difference in their lives as they navigate this difficult time and hope for brighter days ahead.
