Help Manuel Mendez Get Life-Saving Medication

We are reaching out with heavy hearts to ask for help for our beloved Manuel Mendez.

Manuel is 60 years old and currently battling several serious health conditions, including Hepatic Encephalopathy, Cirrhosis of the Liver, COPD, and Diabetes. Despite everything he is facing, he continues to fight every single day.

Right now, Manuel does not have insurance coverage. We have been fighting for over 2 years to get him approved for Social Security benefits, and the past 6 months trying to secure Medicaid — but unfortunately, nothing has come through yet.

In the meantime, he urgently needs a medication called Rifaximin, which is critical to his survival. The cost is overwhelming — $3,679 per month — and it is placing an enormous financial burden on the family.

We are asking for your help to bridge this gap until his insurance is approved. No one should have to lose their life because they cannot afford medication.

Every donation, no matter the amount, will go directly toward Manuel’s medication and care. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this with others — your support means everything to us.

Thank you for helping us give Manuel a fighting chance.
