Dona para la Operación de Emergencia y Recuperación de Luia

El 6 de junio, a las 2 de la madrugada, Luia regresaba del otro lado de la isla de Cozumel porque estaba participando en un proyecto de investigación para marcar y recopilar datos sobre nidos de tortugas marinas en peligro de extinción. A un par de cuadras de su casa, una camioneta voló el alto y lo chocó a toda velocidad en su moto. Esto le rompió el fémur por la mitad y lo lanzó contra la ventana (que bien que siempre usa un casco). Actualmente se encuentra en el hospital esperando una operación de pierna y un largo camino hacia la recuperación. A pesar del dolor, se ha mantenido positivo e incluso quiso tener la oportunidad de conocer al hombre que lo atropelló para perdonarlo y comenzar a sanar de la traumática experiencia.

Solicitamos donaciones para ayudar a cubrir los costos de una cirugía de fémur para colocarle una varilla y tornillos en la pierna, y fisioterapia para una recuperación adecuada de este accidente. Cualquier contribución que pueda hacer esta semana ayudará a cubrir el costo inicial de la cirugía de 300,000 pesos, que debe programarse lo más pronto que posible. Todos los fondos adicionales se destinarán a cuidados posteriores y fisioterapia. Muchas gracias <3

————————

On June 6, at 2 am, Luia was on his way back from a research project to mark and collect data on endangered sea turtle nests in Cozumel, Mexico (on the other side of the island). He was hit full speed on his scooter by a car running a stop sign a couple blocks away from his home which broke his femur in half and sent him through the car windshield (thank goodness he always wears a helmet). He is currently in the hospital awaiting surgery on his leg and a long road to recovery. Throughout it all he has stayed positive even while in pain and even wanted the chance to reach out to the man who hit him to forgive him and start healing from the traumatic experience.

We are asking for donations to help cover the costs of a femur surgery to put a rod and screws in his leg and physical therapy to recover properly from this accident. Anything you can contribute this week helps towards the upfront cost of the $15,000 surgery which needs to be scheduled as soon as possible. All additional funds will go towards aftercare and physical therapy. Thank you so much in advance <3

We’re heartbroken to share that our dear friend Alex passed away far too soon. His light, his laughter, his incredible spirit — they touched so many, and his absence is deeply felt.
