In the heart of Eleven Elevation Jiu Jitsu Academy we have a great coach, Ricky Bello. As a black belt and instructor, Ricky has always been a pillar for our community, offering guidance, support, and encouragement to students of all ages.

Unfortunately, Ricky is now facing serious health challenges. He has been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis and has spent the last two months in the hospital, struggling to keep down food and water. His illness has not only affected his health but has also left him unable to work and support his family. The stress of this situation is only making his condition worse.

As Ricky’s friends and teammates, we cannot stand by and watch him suffer. So we decided to launch fundraising efforts to help ease the financial burden on Ricky and his family, allowing him to focus on his recovery without worrying about immediate needs.

In addition to this GoFundMe, we will organize a car wash to raise more funds. Ricky is the type of person who never asks for help but always gives it freely. This is our way of showing him that his generosity and selflessness have not gone unnoticed.

We need your help by contributing what you can to make a significant difference in Ricky’s life. Please join us in supporting Ricky. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference. Together, we can help Ricky recover and get back to doing what he loves.

Thank you for your support!
