    Please donate or share if you can. His daughter is in need of a crucial surgery. I know the guys here on BD can really rally to help our people down south. No little girl should have to go through this.

    Thank you pascuale for bring this to light. I don't know Capt Fernando personally, but the Diaz family has been in LA Bay from the beginning.
    Bahia de Los Angeles is an absolute paradise IMO but it would be a difficult and isolated place to live if you have medical needs. My heart breaks for that beautiful little girl and just a little bit of help from a lot of people would make a big difference in her quality of life. I'm sure the folks on BD will show some love!

    Do they have enough money yet? I saw that the Gofundme has only raised $3795 of the needed $10,000.

    This great news that the surgery has been scheduled. Thanks to all the generous BD'ers for your help!

    I know it’s getting late in the game on this, I noticed you said you brought him 1k. The gofundme is right at 7350 now. Did he tell you how far off he was? We donated 1k and our kids put in another 200 I hope all goes well
