Hello, my name is Angie Santiago, and I am making this fundraiser to try to help my uncle, Geraldo Luciano (most of you know him as Eddie). He is a loving and caring man who would always be there for anyone if they needed it. Whether it was to help fix a car, provide a plate of food, or offer some friendly advice, he was always a very compassionate man.
He has been dealing with many different medical issues, from diabetes for more than 25 years to dialysis 4x a week, and now he has to undergo a foot amputation on Thursday, June 12, 2025, due to a foot and ankle fusion that failed. He went back for revision, and doctors could not revise it due to erosion of the bone from aggressive Charcot foot. He has been hospitalized in Boston since Friday, June 6, 2025, and could possibly be there for another week.
With him having to go through all these medical situations, he has been unable to work and has been financially unstable. It’s very hard to see my uncle struggle, and his wife is the only one working to try to keep up with all the bills and medical expenses but can only do so much while trying to be there for him, as she and I are his only support team right now. We are not asking that you empty your bank account by helping him, but if you could possibly help him in any way, it would absolutely be appreciated. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this, and may God bless you all.
