Benjamin nació y creció en México junto con sus 11 hermanos donde él y su padre cultivaban maíz, frijoles y jicama. Él es un hombre orgulloso y trabajador duro, así que cuando se trasladó a los EE.UU. en 1981, comenzó a paisajismo para ganarse la vida. Toda su vida Benjamin era una persona físicamente activa, pero ahora él es completamente dependiente de la diálisis, que él sufre en casa cada día. Un trasplante es su única oportunidad de volver a tener buena salud.
Financiar este procedimiento es una tarea monumental, ya que habrá muchos gastos médicos no cubiertos por el seguro como copagos y los medicamentos anti-rechazo que Benjamín tendrá que tomar por el resto de su vida. Ese costo por sí solo es astronómico. Se le ha dicho que necesita tener $ 5000 para estos gastos antes de ser cotizados. ¡Él necesita nuestra ayuda!

Para ayudar con la carga financiera de los gastos no asegurados de Benjamin, una campaña de recaudación de fondos en su honor ha sido establecida con Help Hope Live, una organización sin fines de lucro de confianza que ha proporcionado orientación comunitaria a los pacientes y sus familias durante más de 30 años. Todas las donaciones son deducibles de impuestos, son mantenidas por Help Hope Live en el South-Central Kidney Transplant Fund y son administradas por Help Hope Live solo para gastos relacionados con trasplantes. Por favor, considere una donación.

Benjamin Needs Our Help!

Benjamin Mendoza Bautista is just 53 years old and is very ill. Six months ago he was diagnosed with kidney failure and his doctors at St. David’s Hospital in Austin told him a kidney transplant is his only hope for survival. He needs the help of his family, friends and community to make it happen. Transplants are life-saving but very expensive. He cannot face this challenge alone.

Benjamin was born and raised in Mexico along with his 11 siblings where he and his father farmed corn, beans and jicama. He is a proud man and hard worker so when he moved to the U.S. in 1981, he started landscaping to earn a living. All his life Benjamin was a physically active person but now he is completely dependent on dialysis, which he undergoes at home every day. A transplant is his only chance to return to good health.

Funding this lifesaving procedure is a monumental task, as there will be many medical expenses not covered by insurance such as copays and the anti-rejection medications Benjamin will have to take for the rest of his life. That cost alone is astronomical. He has been told he needs to have $5000 set aside for these expenses before being listed. He needs our help!

To help with the financial burden of Benjamin’s uninsured expenses, a fundraising campaign in his honor has been established with Help Hope Live, a trusted nonprofit organization that has been providing community based fundraising guidance to patients and their families for more than 30 years. All donations are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law, are held by Help Hope Live in the South-Central Kidney Transplant Fund, and are administered by Help Hope Live for transplant-related expenses only. Please, consider a donation.
