The family of María Milagros Díaz Rosario, a 66-year-old patient who underwent a kidney transplant at Auxilio Mutuo Hospital in Hato Rey, is urgently requesting blood donations due to post-surgical complications.

Díaz Rosario has been hospitalized for more than a month and has undergone surgery three times, which has generated a critical need for blood.

Lorena Sánchez Vargas, Díaz Rosario’s granddaughter, shared her anguish on social networks and appealed to the heart of the community: “She is my grandmother, a dialysis patient. We have been in the hospital for a month after the transplant. She has already undergone three operations. The blood bank continues to ask us for donors. Anyone who can donate or share this information, my family and I will thank you.”

Pablo Adán Díaz Cosme, the producer and host of the podcast “Discútelo con Pablito,” who is a nephew of Díaz Rosario, also called for solidarity: “My aunt is fighting for her life. Today she needs something that many of us can give without losing anything: blood. Every drop can make a difference.”

The Blood Donor Center, located in front of Auxilio Mutuo Hospital, is coordinating the necessary donations. Those interested in donating can contact Ms. Irizarry at (787) 467-8919, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and should mention the patient’s name.
