Raymond Mesa (Chito) has been hospitalized at the Hospital at Stanford. What started out as the flu turned into pneumonia, and then quickly became a rare lung infection. He has been relying on breathing treatments to provide oxygen to his blood. Chito now requires a double lung transplant, he has been placed on the lung transplant list and is awaiting a donor.
As you can imagine this has been quite a shock for chito and his wife Angela. They have had their hands full with medical test, doctors and insurance. They don't know what the total cost of treatment will be or how long chito will be out of work, but we felt we needed to start something to help alleviate any financial stress so they can focus on treatment and healing. The money donated will be used to pay for medical expenses not covered by insurance and to help with travel so Angela can be with chito, daily living expenses. Please keep Chito and Angela in your thoughts and prayers and thank you for your support. Your thoughts, prayers and generous donations are sincerely appreciated.
