Dear friends, family, and compassionate supporters,

I hope you're doing well and staying healthy. I am writing to you with a heartfelt plea for help on behalf of my beloved grandmother Marina Santoyo. She is currently facing a significant health challenge, and we are rallying together as a family to ensure she receives the care she needs as well as to help out with her medical expenses.

On December 20th, Marina was admitted to Carle Foundation Hospital for a Brain Aneurysm ( a weak blood artery that ballooned and filled with blood). After a risky surgery, on December 21st, with a positive outcome, she will be recovering in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for the next two weeks, to prevent other Brain Aneurysms and seizures from developing. Following the two weeks (16 Days), there is a strong possibility of her having to spend one or more weeks in the hospital, to prevent future episodes.

During this time a skilled team of ICU staff and neurologists will be providing care for her and an immediate family members will also be present to translate for Marina. During this time one family member will be there in the day followed by one staying overnight with her. Daily CT and ultrasounds are being performed to ensure healing. If a new brain aneurysm does develop, we have been notified by medical staff that invasive and risky surgery would be required once again.

Despite the emotional strength and resilience that Araceli Espinoza & Ilda Ontiveros have shown throughout this journey, the financial burden associated with medical treatments, medications, and other related expenses has become overwhelming. As a family, we are doing everything we can to support them, but we recognize that we cannot do it alone.
We are reaching out to you, our extended family, friends, and the community, with a humble request for financial assistance. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in Marina's journey toward's recovery. If you are unable to contribute financially, your thoughts, prayers, and shares of this campaign are equally appreciated.

We are grateful for your time, compassion, and support. Your generosity will not only help alleviate the financial strain but will also provide comfort and strength to Marina. We will keep you updated on their progress, and please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or would like more information.

Thank you for being a source of hope and healing in our family's time of need.

With heartfelt gratitude,
Espinoza, Ontiveros & Santoyo Families
