Donations For The Acevedo Family

 

 

An unfortunate event had occur to our family on Monday October 18th 2021. What started out as a joyous family reunion to celebrate the youngest daughter's birthday had ended with heart wrenching tribulation.

 

At the age of 46 years old, my father, Jose Francisco Acevedo was admitted to Orlando Regional Medical Center Emergency room where he was diagnosed with an Ischemic stroke. For those who are unaware, an Ischemic stroke is caused by a blockage in an artery that supplies blood to the brain. The blockage reduces the blood flow and oxygen to the brain, leading to damage or death of brain cells. If circulation isn’t restored quickly, brain damage can be permanent.

 

 Medical staffs perform their job diligently and were able to locate and withdraw the hemorrhage from the parietal lobe of his brain. However, neurologists advised us that he isn’t clear to be in the safe zone yet.

Jose will undergo three more surgical procedures including a tracheostomy (A medical procedure that involves creating an opening in the neck in order to place a tube into a person's windpipe.) within the following week. For now he is currently in the intensive care unit in a critical state with his devoted wife, Gisella Acevedo and the rest of our family members.

 

Our family is facing a tremendous battle against this situation, and with that comes a financial battle to cover the costs. We are humbly asking for prayers and assistance from friends, families, and associates to help cover the costs he has incurred from the diagnosis, surgery, emergency transportation, and the on going treatment, medication, and appointments that he will experience in the upcoming months.

My father is a loving man. My parents  have been married for nearly three decades, and he still goes out of his way to make her smile. A man who wholeheartedly devoted in the Lord’s name. He is the man that people look towards for guidance. He has always been there to listen to you whenever you have a problem or when you have accomplished something. He’s a man that has a great sense of humor or always tries to crack his corny dad jokes. Overall, he’s the foundation to our family and a pillar to the community.

Watching him in this state is unbearable but despite the painful outcomes, our family is faithfully determined that we will overcome this. For we believe that with God, all things are possible.

With much love,
The Acevedo Family
