Our Pastor Ernesto Rafols has been in and out of hospitals since May 2, 2017. What started out as stomach cramps turned out to be ulcerative colitis (UC) in a severe state.This is an inflammation of the colon that has caused him to have intense abdominal cramps with bloody diarrhea. Doctors have tried 2 different treatments, but have failed. He has lost a considerable amount of weight and muscle mass. His body is not tolerating any kind of food and his immune system has weakened.Doctors have tried several treatments. He has also had several surgeries, but his condition remains critical as many complications have risen as a result of his weakened body.

As a church we feel for the need of our Pastor who has served for 16 years in our church. He and his wife have helped many families in their times of need, both physically and spiritually. They are committed to serving families and communities.

Our Pastor's medical insurance does not cover the cost of the treatment for ulcerative colitis. Add to that the cost of many surgeries and basic needs. Since Hurricane Maria passed his home has not had power in over 100 days, making his care increasingly hard on his family. That is why we're trying to help with both medical expenses and other expenses.

We are doing all we can to raise funds for our Pastor, but we need your help.

Thank you!

Nuestro pastor Ernesto Rafols ha estado entrando y saliendo de hospitales desde el 2 de mayo de 2017. Lo que comenzó como calambres estomacales resultó ser colitis ulcerosa (CU) en un estado severo.Esta es una inflamación del colon que le ha causado cólicos abdominales intensos con sangrados. Los doctores han intentado tratamientos diferentes. Ha perdido una cantidad considerable de peso y masa muscular. Su cuerpo no tolera ningún tipo de alimento y su sistema inmunológico se ha debilitado. Ernesto ha tenido varias cirugias, pero su condición permanece critica debido a las complicaciones que han surgido por su cuerpo debilitado.

Como iglesia, sentimos la necesidad de nuestro Pastor que ha servido por 16 años en nuestra iglesia. Él y su esposa han ayudado a muchas familias en sus momentos de necesidad, tanto física como espiritualmente. Están comprometidos a servir a las familias y comunidades.

El seguro médico de nuestro Pastor no cubre el costo del tratamiento para la colitis ulcerosa. A eso se suma el costo de las cirugias y necesidades básicas para su cuidado. Luego del paso del Huracán Maria su casa no ha tenido servicio de Energia eléctrica en mas de 100 dias. Esto dificulta su cuidado aun mas para su familia. Es por eso que deseamos ayudarle para cubrir sus gastos médicos y otros gastos para su cuidado.

Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para recaudar fondos para nuestro Pastor, pero necesitamos su ayuda.

Gracias

Pastor Rafols is has received the first two doses of the medical treatment needed to stabilize ulcerative colitis. At this point, he still has bleeding and is still weak. Therefore, he needs to be in isolation. The high cost of the treatment keeps adding up. He needs your help to
