Help Us Honor Francisco's Final Wishes

Donation protected
My father, Francisco (Chele) was born in Managua, Nicaragua. He was the eldest of 5 siblings(Linda Mayorga , Danilo, Jorge & Luis). At the age of 16 he joined the military, there he met the love of his life with who he had 4 kids (Rolando, Emma, Maria & Monica).

He was a social butterfly and made good long term friends easily. He was an honest mechanic and would always drop what he was doing to help when it was needed without any hesitation.

Later in life as a result of being a former smoker, he was diagnosed with COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis. This past year he was placed on a waiting list for a lung transplant  and just recently due to the severity of his condition he was admitted in hopes of expediting the surgery.

However, shortly after being admitted he discovered that he was dealing with a blocked artery and prostate cancer. Which resulted in no longer qualifying for the lungs transplant. He remained positive and optimistic and kept fighting. He showed us all what having faith really meant and always had a smile to go along with that. Unfortunately he has passed away.

We will be honoring his wishes of being buried (with his mother) and we sincerely appreciate your support in these difficult times.

Mi padre, Francisco (Chele), nació en Managua, Nicaragua. Era el mayor de 5 hermanos (Linda Mayorga , Danilo, Jorge y Luis). A la edad de 16 años se unió al ejército, allí conoció al amor de su vida con quien tuvo 4 hijos (Rolando, Emma, María y Mónica).

Era una mariposa social y hacía buenos amigos a largo plazo fácilmente. Era un mecánico honesto y siempre abandonaba lo que estaba haciendo para ayudar cuando era necesario sin dudarlo.

Más tarde en la vida, como resultado de ser un exfumador, le diagnosticaron EPOC y fibrosis pulmonar. El año pasado fue colocado en una lista de espera para un trasplante de pulmón y recientemente, debido a la gravedad de su condición, fue ingresado con la esperanza de acelerar la cirugía.

Sin embargo, poco después de ser admitido, descubrió que estaba lidiando con una arteria bloqueada y cáncer de próstata. Lo que resultó en que ya no calificara para el trasplante de pulmones. Se mantuvo positivo y optimista y siguió luchando. Nos mostró a todos lo que realmente significaba tener fe y siempre tenía una sonrisa para acompañarlo. Desafortunadamente, ha fallecido.

Honraremos sus deseos de ser enterrado (con su madre) y apreciamos sinceramente su apoyo en estos tiempos difíciles.
