Rallying Together with Lorenzo Avila in His Time of Need

Dear Friends,

I'm reaching out to share a story that has shaken our lives to the core. On Saturday, April 13th, 2024, my beloved boyfriend, [Lorenzo Avila], encountered a nightmare on his usual ride home—a deer, a fleeting moment, and a life-altering collision.

[Lorenzo Avila] is not just a man; he's a force of nature. His passion for motorcycles runs deep, a love affair since childhood that made him feel as free as a bird in flight. But beyond the throttle, he's a man of many talents—an adventurous spirit who thrives on mastering the art of barbering, playing in pool tournaments, shredding the slopes on his snowboard, and crafting culinary masterpieces in the kitchen. He's also a devoted friend, family member, and caregiver to our two fur babies, his patience and guidance shaping their journeys as much as ours.

The accident robbed him of everything he held dear. The list of injuries is as daunting as it is heartbreaking—a Broken lower back vertebrae , broken ankles, knees, shoulder, and a myriad of road rash scars, each telling a tale of pain and resilience. Despite wearing proper riding gear, fate dealt a cruel hand, leaving him unable to even lift himself out of bed without assistance. His once-active lifestyle now reduced to a painful, immobilized existence.

As he focuses on healing, the financial burden weighs heavily on his shoulders. With monthly bills totaling $3700, including essentials like rent, utilities, and groceries, the prospect of maintaining financial stability during his recovery seems daunting. That's why we're turning to you, our community, for support. Our goal is to raise $35,000 to cover [Lorenzo's] expenses for the next few months as he rebuilds his strength and gets back on his feet—literally and figuratively. Your generosity will provide him with the peace of mind he needs to focus on his recovery without the added stress of financial uncertainty.

Your support is not just a donation; it's a lifeline, a beacon of hope in our darkest hour. Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us navigate this arduous journey together.

Thank you for your compassion, your empathy, and your willingness to stand by us in our time of need.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Marisela Valenzuela
