Jonex Oslan

Family and friends of Jonex Oslan are raising money to cover medical expenses uncovered by insurance associated with his liver transplantation. When we first started this journey, we had no idea the amount of money that would be needed, pre- and post-transplant, above and beyond what insurance and our savings cover! Please know how much we appreciate your generosity and support during this challenging time.

Jonex came to the US from Puerto Rico in 1967 at 17, hoping to improve his life. The oldest of 12 children, he was independent, working since he was 11 years old, to take care of himself. Once he arrived in the US, he was able to go to college and help some of his siblings who decided to relocate to the US as well.

Although the majority of his professional life has been in the home improvement industry, he has been a substitute teacher in the Lowell School District, worked in the Lowell Court System, has been a veterinary lab tech, phlebotomist, medical lab technician and a Spanish Language medical interpreter. Jonex has 4 children, 10 grand children and 7 great grand children. He loves raising farm animals and has raised chickens, goats, rabbits, quails and doves while living in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

In 2002, Jonex started having health issues, which continued to worsen, despite undergoing the treatments and consultations with doctors. In 2020, his condition progressed to the point where it became necessary for him to be evaluated for a transplant. The decision was made to relocate to Florida to be close to Mayo Clinic, where he will receive the transplant.

Currently, Jonex lives in Florida with his wife, Jessie and their pets, Zoe, (pictured) and two cats, Tortie and Oreo.
