Help Luca, a 13 year boy from Jersey City, NJ

Donation protected
Luca Gonzalez, a 13-year-old student at Cordero School, Jersey City NJ, is currently facing a serious life threatening illness. The unfortunate events began during him visiting his family in Geneva, Switzerland, where he fell critically ill and had to be urgently hospitalized. He was diagnosed with Spontaneous Pneumothorax, requiring immediate medical attention. Luca has already undergone one surgery but now requires a second procedure to remove part of his lung.

Luca's mother, is big giver who need our support now! Rene, the former owner of Bambino Chef, Community supporter who created many food pantris across the city and the current Mrs New Jersey, has flown to be by his side during this challenging time. However, due to Luca being an American citizen, the Swiss hospital is unable to accept his insurance. This has placed Luca's family in an unexpected situation, as they are now faced with unanticipated medical expenses.

Switzerland boasts an exceptional socialized medical system for its residents and citizens of the European Union. However, Luca's case highlights the difficulties faced by those who do not fall under these categories. Currently, the medical bill has reached $20,000 and continues to grow each day, leaving Luca's family in a position they never thought they would find themselves in.

The purpose of reaching out to you is to humbly request your assistance to save a life of a child by raising funds to so they can afford the second surgery. This situation could happen to anyone, and any support provided would make a significant difference. Your help would go a long way in easing the financial burden that Luca's family is currently facing.

Let us come together and support Luca in his fight. Please consider contributing to his medical expenses. No amount is too small, and every donation will be greatly appreciated. Together, we can make a positive impact on Luca's journey toward recovery.
