Benefit dance

• To help defray medical costs, the Martinez family is planning a benefit dance with three bands from 7 to 11 p.m. June 29 at the Elks Lodge in Santa Fe, 1615 Old Pecos Trail.

Matt's recovery process has had complicating factors that he is challenged to overcome. The recovery for this GIFT OF LIFE will take many months. Medical out of pocket co-pay costs continue to grow. Matt's follow up care is to prevent rejection of the kidney transplant and to ensure a healthy functioning kidney. The major medical lifesaving surgery occurred on January 17, 2018. The call Matt Martinez had been waiting on for the past five years finally came. They had a kidney donor and Matt needed to report to University of New Mexico Hospital the next day. The transplant was a success!!! Matt's amazing wife, Jessica Martinez, is the families sole support and is tirelessly enduring the stress of this miracle with deep faith and love for her family.
