YOU CAN HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Dear Friends and Family,
As many of you know, about four years ago, Miguel unexpectedly lost all kidney function. As a result, Miguel has been on dialysis, three days per week, four hours per day.
Despite the time requirements of dialysis and the toll that this process has taken on Miguel’s health, he has continued to work and maintained his commitments as a volunteer at El Centro de la Raza, at Youth Eastside Services with the Latino H.E.A.T. Youth Group, and most recently as volunteer youth soccer coach at Tacoma’s YMCA.
In order for Miguel to lead a more normal life, and give him an opportunity to pursue his aspiration to become a Drug and Alcohol Counselor, he must receive a kidney transplant. Fortunately, during the month of September, Miguel will receive the gift of life from his sister, Lucero Cueva-Estrella, through a living donor kidney transplant. Transplants, however, are extremely expensive, and costs can be devastating.
Even though his insurance company will cover most of the procedure, many of his medical needs are not covered and must be paid out-of-pocket. We anticipate substantial uninsured costs such as lifelong immunosuppressant medications. Additionally, Miguel and his sister will not be able to work during the recovery period, which is likely to last about two months. All living expenses will need to be covered out-of-pocket, adding to the already staggering costs of transplantation.
To help with such expenses, a fundraising campaign in Miguel’s honor has been established with HelpHOPELive, a nonprofit organization that has been assisting the transplant community for 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible, are held by HelpHOPELive in the Northwest Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by HelpHOPELive for transplant-related expenses only. Please, if you can, make a donation today.
At times like this, the help of family, friends and the community is crucial to help ensure a successful outcome. Your financial gifts and prayers are greatly appreciated.
With sincere gratitude,
The Cueva Estrella family

USTED PUEDE AYUDAR A HACER UNA DIFERENCIA
Queridos Amigos y Familia,
Como muchos de ustedes saben, hace unos cuatro años, Miguel inesperadamente perdió toda función renal. Como resultado de ello, Miguel ha estado en tratamiento de diálisis, tres días por semana, cuatro horas por día.
A pesar de los requerimientos de tiempo de diálisis y la carga que este proceso ha sido en la salud de Miguel, él ha seguido trabajando y ha mantenido su compromiso como voluntario en el Centro de la Raza, en Youth Eastside Services con el grupo de jóvenes Latino H.E.A.T. y recientemente como entrenador voluntario de fútbol de niños en el YMCA de Tacoma.
Para Miguel, para que pueda llevar una vida más normal, y le dé la oportunidad de continuar su aspiración a convertirse en un consejero especializado en drogas y alcohol, debe recibir un trasplante de riñón. Afortunadamente, durante el mes de septiembre, Miguel recibirá el don de la vida de su querida hermana, Lucero Cueva-Estrella, a través de un trasplante renal de donante vivo. Los trasplantes, sin embargo, son extremadamente caros, y los costos pueden ser devastadores.
A pesar de que su compañía de seguro cubrirá la mayoría del procedimiento, muchas de sus necesidades médicas no son cubiertas por su seguro y deben ser pagadas de su bolsillo. Prevemos importantes costos a lo largo de toda su vida, los medicamentos inmunosupresores que no son totalmente cubiertos por su aseguranza. Además, Miguel y su hermana no podrán trabajar durante el período de recuperación, que es muy probable que sea cerca de dos meses. Todos los gastos de vida tendrán que ser pagados de su bolsillo, añadiendo a la ya inmensa lista de costos del trasplante.
Para ayudar con los gastos, una campaña para recaudar fondos en honor de Miguel ha sido establecida con HelpHOPELive, una organización sin fines de lucro que ha estado ayudando a la comunidad de trasplante durante 30 años. Todas las donaciones son deducibles del impuesto, se llevaran a cabo por HelpHOPELive a través dela fondo de ayuda para trasplante de riñón en el Noroeste, y también son administrados por HelpHOPELive con relación a los gastos del trasplante del riñón. Por favor, si pueden ayudarnos con una donación se los vamos a agradecer.
