Hello, I'm Gus Mendoza I'm reaching out to all my friends, and whoever else feels inclined to help . I never thought I would have to do this for myself. I have done this for many people and other causes making a big impact in their situations.

I'am reaching out to you today because I found myself battling an overwhelming financial burden for the last six months. I was suddenly force to move while also preparing for a crucial hip replacement surgery. I am humbly seeking your support to help me go through these challenging times.

Six year ago I found myself making the decision of leaving the US because of a promise I made to my mother, That when she'll needed me I would be there for her, we had an icredible six month till she passed away in June 2018.

By then I had become reacquanited with my birth country and considering that my living stadart here in Argentina would be good, I decided to stay. Unfortunatly everything change in last six month, and everything turned upside down. My standart of living changed drastically due to the changes that was brought on by the new government taking office (long awaited for many) I personally feel that this change in government will eventually help my country recover financially, but it will take time.

Altough Im basically retire I was still doing massages to supplement my imcome... for me being a Massage Therapist is not just work it is my vocation that I enjoy doing it. My diagnosis of Osteoartrhitis of the hip came in the early part of 2017, I learn to live with it by using alternative medicine until last year. When the pain started to limit me, no being able to enjoy a good quality of life. I had to stop dancing Tango my favorite past time, but my condition worsened to the point now , going for walks, running errands or even walking my dogs is a challenge, I cannot even do work as Massage Therapist any longer due to these extreme limitations

Financial breakdown

Medical bills for the surgery:

$7500,00

Your generous donation can make a world of difference to me. Every dollars counts and brings me closer to alleviating my financial burden and insures that I will be able to have this much need procedure. I humbly ask all of you so I like to encourage all of you who have had a meaning precense in my life to act and help me in this endeavor so in a future we will still be able to keep enjoying our momentos together it be in the dance floor, me giving you a great massage, going for a walk or just simply enjoy each other's company

I am so incredibly grateful for any support you can provide me, It will help me overcome these challenges and look foward to a brighter, healthier future. Thank you from the bottom of my Heart.

With much gratitude.
