This is the letter I sent out to friends and family this week.
1/14/11
My husband, Abel Torres, desperately needs a liver transplant and we just found out last Friday. We had no idea until November that anything was wrong. All the sudden he began turning yellow. He had no symptoms until this happened. Turns out he has nonalcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. He has been very healthy up until this point but has started to decrease in health. Insurance has not declined payment, but they are saying it is a pre-existing condition. If insurance declines his surgery, we have VERY LITTLE TIME to raise $250,000. This money would be used to save his life. Any amount raised over that amount would be used for expenses like previous doctor’s appointments and housing for the 3 month stay in Dallas after surgery.
My husband is an absolutely AMAZING husband. He is very giving and has such a good heart. People meet him and they just love him immediately. He has a great personality and loves people. Our daughter Karla, is 18 year s old and attends Amarillo College. She moved here (to Amarillo) and attended Fannin Middle School and last year graduated from Caprock High School.
We have been active in our church (Paramount Baptist Deaf Church) for many years. Our pastor (Darrell Bonjour) and his wife (GayLynn Bonjour) have been very supportive of our family over the years and especially recently. We are strong Christians and believe that God can and will heal Abel. Our prayer is that he will be healed here on this earth. We know that God is a good God and a faithful God. We have no doubt that God is using this trial to increase our faith. We will stand strong with God’s help.
We are asking that if you can spare even 10 dollars that you could deposit into to an account we have set up at Education Credit Union and say his name. The account will come up and they will know which account to deposit it into.
