Nuestro hermano KP4KSL necesita de nuestra ayuda urgente » COMPARTELO»

Saludos a todos, nuestro hermano, Federico Torres KP4KSL, necesita cirugía de emergencia para que pueda caminar en un futuro. Lamentablemente, la gran parte del costo de la cirugía no está cubierto por el plan médico. Hace varios días atrás, su doctor le diagnosticó que necesita una cirugía de emergencia, para reemplazar y reconstruir, la cadera artificial de su primera operación y en adición, un injerto de fémur. Sin esta cirugía, Federico perdería la habilidad de caminar y estaría destinado a utilizar una silla de ruedas por el resto de su vida. En estos momentos, no puede caminar ni guiar por órdenes médicas. Federico tiene plan médico; pero el mismo no cubre todos los gastos de la segunda operación de reemplazo de cadera, a pesar que esta es una cirugía de emergencia por órdenes del doctor. Para poder hacerse la cirugía en los próximos días, el proveedor de la prótesis requiere un pago inicial de $15,034 dólares, sin ningún tipo de plan de pago. Exhortamos su cooperación para poder pagar la prótesis y gastos de recuperación que son un total de $20,000.

Estaremos eternamente agradecidos por cualquier ayuda que puedan proveer y por favor compartan esta historia con otras personas para así amplificar las posibilidades de Federico poder caminar en un futuro.

Federico needs emergency surgery to save his ability to walk, and the costs are not covered by insurance.

My 58-year-old disabled brother Federico Torres has been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease since 1990. As a consequence of the disease, he underwent a hip replacement in 1997. A few days ago, he was told something unexpected by his doctor: that he needs emergency surgery to replace the initial artificial hip along with a femur replacement graft. Without this surgery, he will end up in a wheelchair. At this point he cannot walk or drive by doctor’s order.

Federico has insurance, and they had reassured him that they could cover the costs apart from the normal copay. But, today they told him they would cover nothing. Why? Because this is his second hip surgery and they only cover the first — despite the fact that this is an emergency surgery under doctor’s orders, without which he will never walk again.

Unfortunately, the surprises did not stop there. In order for the surgery to happen within the next few days as needed, the prosthetic supplier is requiring the entire payment of $15,034 upfront without a payment plan. However, all of Federico’s savings has been used up during Hurricane Maria, the recents earthquakes, and now with the Covid pandemic. Needless to say, all of this news has been devastating to Federico and our family.

Our family’s goal is to raise $20,000 to pay for the implants and recovery costs. My brother is a lovely and talented father and husband who always puts the needs of others before himself. For this reason, I am asking kindly if you can help with his financial situation to cover his medical expenses and future rehabilitation.

I would be incredibly grateful for any help that you can give, and please feel free to spread the word.

Thank you so much for your help.

God Bless you all.
