United for Luisito

Don protégé

Luis Rangel (22) was in a terrible motorcycle accident on 10/14/2018 in which he suffered traumatic brain injury, structural fractures of facial and frontal cranial bones, internal bleeding to the chest and a broken femur. Because of the sociopolitical climate in Venezuela, where Luis lives, he wasn't operated on until 10/20/2018. In that surgery they removed a piece of his skull to relieve the pressure on his brain and stopped the leaking of the femoral fat to avoid infection. This was the first of many surgeries because his facial structure has been broken in several places. Unfortunately he's also caught a form of bacterial pneumonia most likely because they reused medical equipment on him.

Unfortunately the health care system in Venezuela is struggling and doctors don't have the basic supplies needed (which is why they reused some of the medical equipment). Family is expected to provide all the supplies. The inflation rate is through the roof in Venezuela and so it's extremely difficult and expensive for my family to find these items, and so if we can round up some money for the family, we'll be able to help provide basic necessities to provide Luis a better chance to recover from his life altering injuries. EVERY DOLLAR HELPS.

The money would be sent to our family in order to help them purchase the supplies needed. Unfortunately there isn't a good way to send supplies into Venezuela and so for now the best way to help is to send money so they move him to a better clinic and so they can buy the supplies needed for his hospital stay . 

The supplies that the money would go to:
   - Cetriaxona  (antibiotics)
   - Gloves
   - Face masks
   - Syringes
   - Gauze
   - Alcohol
   - Cotton
   - Dextrose Solution (for the IV)
   - Saline Solution
   - Norepinephrine
   - Sutures
   - Potassium Chloride
   - Magnesium Sulfate

The list can change as his needs change, but this is what is needed for now. 

I'm Andrea Giovanini, his cousin who lives in the United States and am organizing this with my parents and on behalf of my family in Venezuela, the Rangel's.
