Help Carlos Recover

Donation protected
As some of you may already know, my dad had to undergo a very serious surgery to replace his aortic arch. My dad had the surgery on April 24th and survived, but during the procedure he had a stroke in his brain stem and cerebellum -- areas essential for breathing, swallowing, and movement control. He is in critical condition and we still aren't sure how much and how quickly he will recover. As you can imagine, my family is struggling a lot emotionally but we have faith that we will get through this and are so grateful for everyone's messages. 

My dad will require a long time to recover and we are unsure when or if he will be able to go back to work. Unfortunately, as an Uber driver, my dad doesn't get paid sick leave, and my mom is also not getting paid as she takes time off to care for him. It would mean the world to me if you can help to take some of the financial stress off of my mom and dad right now so they can focus only on my dad's recovery. I am managing my parents' bills as a graduate student and it's been very hard for me. My dad's insurance has a $7,500 deductible and we have to keep up with rent and bills while not making an income.

Anything you can give would help us and if you are more comfortable donating by giving a gift card to a supermarket or something to cover basic needs, we would also really appreciate that.
