Fernando Hernandez Medical Fund

Viviana Teston has been Administrator for the Amapas Neighborhood Assn for several years, helping build it into the successful organization we are today.  Very sadly, after suffering the recent loss of Tom Swale, our ANA President, Viviana learned that her husband Fernando Hernandez had a brain tumor and needed immediate surgery.

Fernando himself was ANA's office assistant until recently.  He has always been a helpful, smiling and very capable presence and (among many other things) helped manage many of our construction projects like the rebuild of Calle Hortensias.

Fernando had a successful operation in Guadalajara on Saturday, June 1 to remove the tumor. He is recovering and awaiting pathology results to learn more about his prognosis.  Viviana and Fernando have two kids, and Viviana is taking time off from ANA and between PV and GDL to deal with this.

Many of our members and Viviana's and Fernando's friends have expressed interest in helping offset the medical costs which are already over $250,000 pesos (more than $12,500 USD).  The ANA Board voted to establish this fund to help the Hernandez/Teston family in its time of need.
