Nelson's Knee Surgery
Donation protected
Hello!
For those who don't know me, my name is Nelson Rojas, I'm 27 years old and I'm from Costa Rica. I'm a passionate skater who enjoys the adrenaline of this sport and loves to explore the world while doing it. Inclusive, in January 6 of 2017, I was in Guatemala, in a DH Skate competition. Sadly, while I was in first place during the entire race, I had a fatal crash with a motorcycle that got me severely injured. This situation occurred while the road was supposed to be closed and no motorized vehicle was allowed in the road. Because of the accident, I lost a lot of blood, and after two blood transfusions, my body and me are fighting to keep my left leg.
As you already now I'm an adventurous person and this is a very hard situation for me, especially because the surgery cost $35,000, and I don’t have that kind of money. I really don't know how much time I'm going to be in the hospital, because of how severe are my injuries, but I'm really looking forward to get better and be able to have an almost normal life.
Even though it was a negligent action from the people that organized the competition this could take months to prove or even years. I would really appreciate anything you can help me with at this moment. Right now it's a miracle that I'm alive and I can't be more grateful for that.
And last but not least, I just want to finish with thanking you so much in advance and I would be forever thankful for you appreciation and support.
Like people would say in my country "PURA VIDA"
Thank you
Nelson Rojas
