An update on Jeffrey:
Hello Everyone,
We have a few updates to share about Jeffrey, including some encouraging news!
Jeffrey has been able to move two of his fingers a couple of times, and he has also begun experiencing pain and sensation in his knees. These are small but hopeful signs, and we are holding on to every bit of progress.
Unfortunately, Jeffrey has not been accepted into a rehabilitation facility because of insurance issues. He remains in the hospital without access to the specialized rehabilitation he desperately needs to give him the best possible chance at recovery. It is heartbreaking to see signs of progress while knowing he isn't receiving the therapy that could help him move forward.
This has been an incredibly difficult journey for both Jeffrey and his mom, Alicia. She has spent every single day and night by his side, advocating for him and doing everything she can to get him the care he needs.
Jeffrey has been suffering from severe headaches related to his medications, and emotionally, he is struggling. He is frightened and uncertain about his future. He understands the seriousness of his condition and knows that proper rehabilitation could make a tremendous difference in his recovery. Unfortunately, right now, they feel stuck in a situation with very few options.
So, what happens next?
The current plan is to transfer Jeffrey back to Colombia, where he can hopefully receive the specialized care and rehabilitation he needs.
Alicia has taken on the enormous responsibility of finding a hospital willing and able to care for him. She has been in contact with Clínica Universidad de La Sabana, which has received Jeffrey's medical records and is currently reviewing his case to determine whether they can accept him.
Meanwhile, the hospital where Jeffrey is currently being treated is working on arrangements for a medical flight to Colombia, pending acceptance by a receiving hospital.
Where will your donations go?
Every dollar donated will go toward Jeffrey's care and needs as he transitions to a hospital that can provide the treatment and rehabilitation he deserves. There are still so many unknowns, and the financial challenges ahead are significant.
And finally, a message from Alicia and Jeffrey.
They want everyone who has donated, shared Jeffrey's story, prayed for him, or sent words of encouragement to know how deeply grateful they are.
The outpouring of love and generosity has been overwhelming. During some of their darkest moments, knowing that so many people care about Jeffrey has given them strength and hope.
There is still a long road ahead, but we are not giving up on Jeffrey. He deserves every opportunity to recover, regain his independence, and have a future filled with possibilities.
Thank you for standing beside Jeffrey and Alicia. Please continue to share his story. Every donation, every share, and every act of kindness truly matters. ❤️
