Huichol Man On the Mend from Broken Back In Need

Want to help Kutemay,  Miguel Carrillo de la Cruz from the Huichol indigenous tribe of Mexico, heal his broken back and play with his children again?   We are thankful he is alive after a heavy tree limb snapped and fell on top of him, crushing his spine, damaging his lungs and paralyzing this devoted husband and  father from the waist down.  The accident that broke his body, and our hearts, happened in early October, and he is just now being released from the hospital where he had spinal cord surgery.  The surgery cost over $6500 and we were miraculously able to get loans and donations to cover that huge amount.

The outpouring of love from people like yourselves, in addition to family, friends, tribal members and our non-profit organization, the Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts  all joined together in prayer and action to garner the funds needed for the surgery, medicines and care that saved his life.  We are now in the process of helping Kutemay restore not only his badly damaged bodily functions but his faith in his future.  His strong, indomitable spirit, and your help,  will  allow him to continue in his role as a highly esteemed Huichol spiritual practitioner, a valued community leader and most of all,  a loving husband and family man.  Let's make this happen together. We can do it.  Your kind donation of any amount will be put towards his continued round the clock care as the healing process makes him both physically and spiritually whole again.  Tax deductible contributions from people from all walks of life can help provide the care needed for Kutemay to step into his new life.

The Huichol Center for Cultural Survival and Traditional Arts was founded in 1991 and is located in Huejuquilla el Alto, Jalisco, and operates in service to the  Huichol culture and people,  the conservation of their spiritual traditions, language, indigenous education, permaculture, health and well being,   In 2019 the organization was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
