Thiago Limeira Spinal Injury Surgery and Rehab

Thiago Limeira is a talented bodyboarder, rider from Brazil and resident at the North Shore of Oahu in Hawaii. He has been living in the Ohana community since 2016 with his wife Jessica. He is a  very loved  person by the community and all of those around him, always bringing joy and positive vibes wherever he goes.




Unfortunately he suffered a serious accident while surfing the Pipeline wave during the April 15th swell. He had to undergo a long and delicate emergency surgery with important procedures to reconstruct and stabilize his spine in order to decompress the spinal nerves caused by two broken vertebrae which caused partial immobility in his legs.
Now he has a long journey ahead seeking for his recovery, starting with four weeks with intensive rehabilitation at the Pacific Rehab Hospital where he will be in the hospital 24/7 until he is able to go home.

Regrettably this tragedy occurred during a period when he and his wife are unemployed due to Covid-19 virus and their monthly income is not enough to budget with all necessary treatment.
Most of you know how amazing Thiago is and how he has impacted so many people through his generosity, kindness and pure joy. We want to support him and his wife in this tough time, so that they can focus is his road to recovery without any stress or worry about their medical bills.


Your prayers are reaching out to him, and there are no words to express how thankful Thiago and Jessica are for all of your kind messages and support during this difficult time. They would like to ask everyone to keep praying for Thiago as he fights to recover.


Please reshare this anywhere you can, we believe faithfully that we can reach this goal! MAHALOS for all you are doing for them!
