The lung transplant will require a 4 month recovery stay near the hospital in Houston, 6 hours away from home. Valentin and his wife will need to pay for temporary lodging during the surgery and recovery period but lodging and transportation to and from the hospital is not covered by insurance. There are many other medical expenses that might not be paid by insurance – the anti-rejection medication itself will cost more than their monthly fixed income combined. So, the family has chosen a fundraiser through Help Hope Live to help pay for all these upcoming expenses to provide a safe channel for anyone to donate safely and have peace of mind knowing all donations will go towards any related medical expenses not covered by insurance. All donations are tax deductible and no amount is too small. Thank you so much to everyone for your support and for sharing this link for anyone who might feel called to donate.

A la edad de quince años Valentin tuvo que crecer rápididamente después del fallecimiento de su padre. Él y sus hermanos empezaron a trabajar jóvenes para ayudar a la familia. Desde entonces no ha parado. A sus 57 años el ha trabajado en construcción para proveer a su familia. A los 71 años fue diagnosticado con Fibrosis pulmonar que ha afectado mucho su cuerpo. Con la mente de guerrero pero con un cuerpo queriendo parar tiene la lucha mas grande de su vida.
Un transplante de pulmón necesita una etapa de recuperación de tres meses en un hospital a seis horas de su casa. Él y su esposa viven con un salario fijo y eligieron pedir dinero con Help Hope Live porque la organización asegura la contabilidad del dinero de los donadores y las deducciones del seguro de donaciones. Los contribuyentes se pueden asegurar que sus donaciones se van a usar para gastos médicos. Las medicaciones de antirechazo cuestan más de un mes de su salario mensual.

Gracias por su ayuda.
It's been a while since we last updated, but wanted to put it out there that Dad has been doing great and that we are in recovery near the hospital. We've gone from barely able to walk on a walker so walking without a walker and just a cane. His recovery has been nothing short of miraculous and everyday his body gets a little stronger. He misses his family his children and grandchildren but he knows this will take a month or two so he can spend the next years enjoying their company.
Quick update here, today our Pops come's "home" and is being released from the hospital as a patient. After today he will have weekly checkups for the next few months. We will still be living in Houston but good news is that dad is strong enough to come out of the hospital and to sit in the trailer away from any viruses. This will be tough living in a trailer away from home and from his kids and even worse his grand kids. However he knows once this is over with, he will live a long life and see his grand babies grow old.
Dad is doing great, he's hooked up to less machines and started doing some exercises to help gain his strength. He is completely off of Oxygen and only using his new lung to breath. He was moved to another room but again visitation is minimal because of the current state of the US. Paul is with him today but he looks to be in great spirits.
Dad was up and walking today with the help of nurses and staff. He's in some pain however as tough as he is, he's pushing through the pain, read stubborn/machismo. However he's in great spirits and appreciates all the support and love he's received through all of this.
Dad is up talking and even joking around with the nurses and doctors. His recovery be a long battle but he's in great spirits and already is surpassing what the doctors expected day after a surgery. We got to video chat with him early and he sends nothing but love to everyone who has donated and/or shared a comment on here or on Facebook.
Dad is awake and sitting comfortably with some pain. He did give a thumbs up this morning although he still has his breathing tube inside of him they're thinking of removing it around noon today. Please take the time to look at the pictures as you'll see him giving a thumbs up.
Surgery went well, dad is resting and according to the docs his vitals all look good. There's not much else I can say right now other than thank you everyone for your support your donations and your thoughts and your prayers. It means so much to my family to see the support we receive from the community in South Texas and all over the US.
Lungs have checked out and Dad was being prepped for surgery. The Doctors will think it will take around 5 hours and with COVID-19 they are limiting visitors to 1 adult. Keep the Valentin in your thoughts today he has a long fight ahead of him.
Mom received a call minutes ago letting her know they have potentially found lungs for Dad and they must leave to Houston asap. Our oldest brother Paul is driving them up tonight and will get into town early tomorrow morning. If everything goes as planned Dad will have surgery Friday morning.
To everyone that has donated or kept Dad in their prayers, he wants to send you all a message.
