Support “Spike” Robert Villegas' Medical Recovery

Help Me Recover and Get Back on My Feet

Dear Friends, Family, and Kind Strangers,

Life can change in an instant, and recently, I’ve experienced just how true that can be. On November 17, I was hospitalized due to a severe bladder infection. I was unable to pass any urine and the infection led to complications, requiring me to be fitted with a urinary catheter. After a week of hoping things were improving, the catheter was removed by an internal medicine doctor but that same day, I found myself back in the ER, unable to pass urine.

When I was in the ER the doctors discovered that my bladder was dangerously full—over 1200 mL of fluid—and at risk of rupturing. Another catheter was placed, and now I’m waiting to see a urologist to determine the next steps.

This has been an incredibly challenging time, both physically and emotionally. I’ve been unable to work or manage daily tasks, and my life has been put on hold. While I remain hopeful that this is a temporary setback, the financial strain is overwhelming. Medical bills, daily living expenses, and the uncertainty of how long this will last have left me in a difficult position.

I’m reaching out for help during this tough time. Any contribution, big or small, would mean the world to me and would help cover:

• Medical expenses and follow-up appointments with specialists.

• Basic living costs while I’m unable to work.

• Transportation to and from medical appointments.

If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with others would be just as meaningful. I’m truly grateful for your support, kindness, and generosity.

Thank you for helping me focus on recovery and getting back to living a healthy, active life.

With gratitude,

Robert “Spike” Villegas
