Help support the family of Mathew Rolando

On Saturday, March 23rd, during a vacation in Cabo San Lucas with family and friends, Mat experienced a medical emergency while scuba diving. He was promptly hospitalized in the ICU, where he remained in a medically induced coma until he was stable enough for transfer to the United States. Late on Wednesday, March 27th, he was airlifted to UC San Diego for ongoing evaluation and treatment. Throughout this harrowing ordeal, Sara has remained by his side. Mat's mother and sister are now in San Diego as well. Their children are now back home with family.

Many have reached out and expressed wanting to assist the Rolando family, prompting us, with Sara's approval, to create this fundraiser. Although the Rolandos have medical insurance, the costs associated with Mat's care have proven overwhelming. They were unexpectedly required to make upfront cash payments to cover Mat's ICU hospitalization in Mexico, as well as for his medical evacuation to the United States.

Your contributions will directly assist in easing the financial burden caused by Mat's medical expenses, ensuring he receives the care he urgently needs without further financial stress for his loved ones.

Updates will be provided as new information becomes available. We kindly ask for your continued thoughts and prayers for the entire Rolando family during this trying time.

With Sara's permission, this fundraiser is being organized by Dr. Thomas Scheider, a colleague and close friend of Mat Rolando. Tom is currently with Mat and his family in San Diego and all funds will be directly transferred to Mat's wife (Sara).
