Help Jefferson Castro Recover from Tragic Accident

Donation protected
Hello! We are Stephanie, Betsy, and Carmen. We created this GoFundMe to help our brother and cousin, Jefferson Castro (25), who is fighting for his life at Stony Brook Hospital. Unfortunately, he got into a tragic accident at work in Long Island, NY, on Monday, September 9th, 2024.

Jefferson had gone to work like any other person. While he cleaned heavy mechanical equipment, a latch of the machine fell on his body, causing severe injuries. Jefferson was found in the position of a split where half his body was crushed, causing his head to split open, a broken nose, and several more injuries.

He was immediately flown to Stony Brook Hospital by helicopter. As he tried to stay awake throughout the helicopter ride, all he thought about was his 9-year-old son. The surgeon themselves told us it was a miracle that he was alive.

We are still uncertain about the exact medical expenses, but looking at Jefferson’s health situation, it is very evident that it is going to be a huge medical fare and he has no insurance coverage. We are praying that his surgeries are successful.
We are very appreciative to anyone who donates and supports our family.

from the bottom of our hearts thank you .





¡Hola! Somos Stephanie, Betsy y Carmen. Creamos este GoFundMe para ayudar a nuestro hermano y primo, Jefferson Castro (25), quien lucha por su vida en el Hospital Stony Brook. Desafortunadamente, sufrió un trágico accidente de trabajo en Long Island, Nueva York, el lunes 9 de septiembre de 2024.

Jefferson había ido a trabajar como cualquier otra persona. Mientras limpiaba equipo mecánico pesado, un pestillo de la máquina cayó sobre su cuerpo, causándole graves lesiones. Jefferson fue encontrado en una posición dividida donde la mitad de su cuerpo fue aplastado, lo que provocó que su cabeza se abriera, le rompieran la nariz y varias lesiones más.

Fue trasladado inmediatamente en helicóptero al hospital Stony Brook. Mientras intentaba permanecer despierto durante el viaje en helicóptero, lo único que pensaba era en su hijo de 9 años. Los propios cirujanos nos dijeron que era un milagro que estuviera vivo.

Todavía no estamos seguros de los gastos médicos exactos, pero al observar la situación de salud de Jefferson, es muy evidente que será una tarifa médica enorme y que no tiene cobertura de seguro. Estamos orando para que sus cirugías sean exitosas.
Agradecemos mucho a cualquiera que done y apoye a nuestra familia.
