**URGENT UPDATE** After months of medical neglect in detention, Arturo’s condition has deteriorated. Please help Maricel cover the cost of his life-saving surgery (details below).
Arturo was detained by ICE just days before he was scheduled to have surgery to repair a large hernia. After nearly two months in detention under inhumane conditions and being deprived of medical care, Arturo was deported to Guatemala. This weekend, he was rushed to the ER. Due to the medical neglect he suffered in detention his condition has deteriorated. The doctors say his intestine is on the verge of rupture and needs immediate surgery. Arturo will require over a month of hospitalization, and two surgeries. The total cost is $12,000. His family is able to cover $5,000 from modest savings, but they need our help to for the remaining $7,000. His family misses him deeply and are heartbroken not to be by his side. Please donate what you can to help Arturo get the care he needs
