Giovanni Pinto medical expenses & services
Donation protected
Hello family, friends and to whomever this reaches. My name is Vanessa. I am Giovanni’s aunt. Gio is 21 years old and had his whole life ahead of him. He was smart, funny, and kind. He has short curly hair, a smile that really lit up the room, good skin and always liked to dress nice. He has an amazing shoe collection, something he loves in addition to cars! His love and passion for cars lead Gio to attend UTI where he would have graduated from next month. He got straight A’s in his classes and was very enthusiastic about his future career working on cars and wanting to own his own mechanic shop. Most of his time was spent with his gf, working on the weekends with his godfather, being with family and wanting to play card games with us. His friends say he was someone that you could look up to. When his friends or anyone needed him he would drop what he was doing to help them. He was the type of person that made sure you put your seatbelt on before driving. Like most teens not knowing what life path to take he faced some challenges, but he was able to change his entire life and spirit around.
On Tuesday December 13th Giovanni was driving home from school as he would normally. On his way home Gio was involved in a tragic accident leaving him fighting for his life.
According to the witnesses, a car ran a red light and hit Gio full impact on the driver side. His car then landed on the sidewalk on top of a rock. Gio suffered from many injuries including collapsed lungs, a broken pelvic that punctured his bladder and a head injury which caused Gio to lose blood flow to his brain.
Gio is currently in the hospital on life support, where he awaits to bless families with the gift of life with his organ donation.
We are asking for donations that will go towards his memorial services and his medical expenses. My family and I are very much grateful for any contributions you are able to make even if it’s just a dollar your support means so much to us. We thank everyone for the love and support it is very much appreciated and may God bless you all ♥️
Hola familia, amigos y a quien llegue esto. Me llamo Vanessa. Soy la tía de Giovanni. Gio tiene 21 años y tenía toda la vida por delante. Era inteligente, chistoso y amable. Tiene el pelo corto y rizado, una sonrisa que realmente iluminaba un cuarto, buena piel y siempre le gustaba vestir bien. Tiene una colección de zapatos increíble, ¡algo que le encanta aparte de los coches! Su amor y pasión por los coches llevó a Gio a asistir a UTI, donde se hubiera graduado el mes que viene. Sacaba muy buenas notas en sus clases y estaba muy entusiasmado con su futura carrera trabajando en coches y queriendo tener su propio taller mecánico. La mayor parte de su tiempo lo pasaba con su novia, trabajando los fines de semana con su padrino, estando con la familia y queriendo jugar a las cartas con nosotros. Sus amigos dicen que era alguien a quien se podía admirar. Cuando sus amigos o alguien lo necesitaba, dejaba lo que estaba haciendo para ayudarles. Era el tipo de persona que se aseguraba de que te pusieras el cinturón de seguridad antes de conducir. Como la mayoría de los adolescentes que no saben qué camino tomar en la vida, se enfrentó con algunas dificultades, pero pudo cambiar por completo su vida y su espíritu.
El martes 13 de diciembre, Giovannie volvía a casa del colegio en coche, como hacía normalmente. En su camino a casa Gio estuvo involucrado en un accidente trágico dejándolo luchando por su vida.
De acuerdo a los testigos, un coche se saltó un semáforo en rojo y golpeó a Gio con todo el impacto en el lado del chófer. El coche cayó sobre la banqueta, encima de una roca. Gio sufrió muchas lesiones, como colapso pulmonar, fractura de pelvis que le perforó la vejiga y un golpe en la cabeza que le hizo perder el flujo de sangre al cerebro.
Gio se encuentra actualmente en el hospital con ventilación asistida, donde espera bendecir a las familias con el regalo de la vida con su donación de órganos.
Pedimos donativos que se usarán para sus servicios funerarios y sus gastos médicos. Mi familia y yo estamos muy agradecidos por cualquier contribución que usted es capaz de hacer, incluso si es sólo un dólar su apoyo significa mucho para nosotros. Agradecemos a todos por el amor y el apoyo que es muy apreciado y que Dios los bendiga a todos ♥️
