Mommy, Keep Fighting

To our PalAmerican Security team staff, we are asking for your support for Jon Rega’s daughter, Alyssa, and his grandson, Santiago, during an incredibly heartbreaking time for their family.

Alyssa is only 21 years old and is currently in a coma and on a ventilator due to a sudden, unexplained illness. While doctors continue searching for answers, her family is holding on to hope and doing everything they can to care for Santiago, her seven-month-old son.

Alyssa’s greatest joy in life is her seven-month-old son, Santiago.

While most babies his age are learning to crawl, explore the world, and reach for their mother’s embrace, Santiago is spending these precious moments separated from Alyssa, the person who loves him most. He may be too young to understand what is happening, but those who love him know how desperately he needs his mom, and how desperately she would want to be by his side.

Jon has been a dedicated member of the PalAmerican Security family, and now his family needs our support. Anyone who knows Jon knows how much he cares for his loved ones and the people around him. During this painful time, any support we can offer will mean so much.

Donations will help ease the financial burden of medical expenses, daily needs, and care for Santiago while Alyssa continues to fight. If you are unable to give, please consider sharing their story and keeping Alyssa, Santiago, Jon, and their family in your thoughts and prayers.

Together, as the PalAmerican Security team, we can help carry this family through one of the hardest moments of their lives and hold on to hope for Alyssa’s healing and her return home to Santiago. ❤️
