Help William Cartagena Heal & Keep His Medical Care

My name is [Your Name], and I’m reaching out on behalf of my brother, William Cartagena, who is going through one of the toughest battles of his life.

William lives in Texas and works for American Airlines at the DFW airport. Over three months ago, he developed a severe wound on the bottom of his foot. Because of his medical history — including both a kidney and pancreas transplant — his healing process has been slow and complicated. The wound is still open, and every step is painful. Despite multiple doctor visits, hospitalization and ongoing treatment, he has not been cleared to return to work.

William has been a loyal, hardworking employee for many years, but his short-term disability benefits have now run out. He is no longer receiving any income, his savings are gone, and he’s struggling to cover basic living expenses. To make matters worse, once his short-term disability ends, his medical coverage will be dropped unless he can pay to keep it — something he simply cannot afford right now.

Medical insurance is critical for William. Without it, he risks losing access to the specialized care and medications that are essential not only for his foot but also for maintaining his transplanted organs.

We’re raising funds to help cover:

• Medical expenses and wound care

• Insurance premiums to keep his coverage active

• Basic living expenses while he’s unable to work

William is a kind, hardworking man who has always been there for his family and friends. Now, he needs our help to get through this difficult time. Every contribution — no matter the size — will make a difference in his recovery and help him keep the medical care he urgently needs.
