Help Ariana give René the support and care he needs to recover from a major surgery in early August.  In light of this, Ariana will be leaving NYC for SF for a few weeks.  The cost of living in the Bay has gone up exponentially over the years and outside of the cost of medical expenses, she needs financial support for housing. It is important for their family to be together at this crucial time for Rene's healing. We all know and love René and how much he loves and cares for his daughters and granddaughter. Let’s show them we support his health and wellbeing.

Costs include: 
$3000+ for an Airbnb for the month of August. Because if René’s age, he is vulnerable to COVID-19 and would need a safe place to recover where both he and Ariana can quarantine together.

In addition to this, they will need  an estimated $2,500, just for in-hospital care, physical therapy, a nutritionalist (mandatory) and medication. They will also need $1,500 for costs of his needs prior the procedure. This is excluding post-op follow ups, which we don’t know full cost of yet. 


Since the matter is urgent, if we don’t make enough for Ariana’s trip, we will use ALL money to pay for bills and after care.


Other ways to help: it goes without saying that many of us may be struggling financially. If you would be so kind, please pass this along.

If you would like to donate for food and provisions needed during his recovery, René has a taste for French bread, croissants and strong coffee. This might not fit into his new diet , but if you happen to work at a bakery or grocery store, they’ll take gift cards too lol. 

In addition, if you possess or know of any affordable housing for them to stay during the recovery process, please let us know. 


Thanks so much for your love and support, everything counts! *please share <3


PS. We don’t want to freak out grandma!
