Ferdz, a father of two, had a massive stroke on December 9th, 2016 and is just waking up from it now, but can’t move or talk yet and needs another surgery but the hospital has suspended the surgery because of unsettled medical bills.
He needs your help in his Ferdzraiser: a Wake up Aid for Ferdz Valencia’s coma treatment set up by his family. DONATE HERE.
