An amazing family in need
Donation protected
My name is TJ and I am trying to raise money for my daughter's uncle on her father's side. His name is Humberto Almanza and I just got the go ahead to update with name and the only photo we could currently get. There is more in the updates. Please take time to read! Huberto is an amazing man with a hard story and has many kids waiting for him to come home!
Her uncle just had a stroke 2 days ago, following a heart attack about a year ago. He is 32 years old and has 3 kids. He and his brother and sister are the only 3 left of their immediate family residing in the country. Their sister was born here but their mom brought them across illegally from Mexico when they were 3 and 4 years old. They have since lost one parent to health issues and deportation and another to deportation. It's taken A LOT of effort, time, money, blood, sweat and tears for them, but the 2 brothers have since obtained legal residency through work and maintained it financially and legally every 2 years to be sure they can stay here for their children and the only life they have ever known themselves. They just finally got themselves, and their children, a nice house in Johnstown by banding together under 1 roof and 4 incomes, and the night they started moving in, is when the stroke happened. He is currently in Aurora, sedated with a blood clot in his brain. It's a sit and wait situation that doesn't appear to be progressing well. He will be undergoing at least 1 surgery to help relieve pressure in his brain. Even with the very best result that we can hope for, this will obviously leave him out of work for an undetermined amount of time and needing a lot of help and care. I am scared for them and my daughter, as well as the other children, that they may be forced to move right back out and have nowhere to go now, due to not being able to handle it without his income and their missed work due to being with him. I am trying to figure out the best way to get the word out and raise money to help them hang on to their achieved goals, and new home.
This family has always worked as hard as they can and as much as they can and have always taken care of each other and the kids so well no matter the circumstances. They deserve to be able to take care of each other in this time of sadness, need and worry and not have to choose between their brother and money. My hope is that this money will help them be able to do this and get them through whatever other expenses may arise from this sad tragedy.
