Message from Paty Gonzalez
Doctors were able to stabilize Julio after a 40 minute attempt. They sedated him to prevent pain and they removed sedatives a day or so later.
Julio is no longer sedated yet he is still unconcious and in ICU. His prognosis is unknown.
This fundraising campaign is urgent because Julio is UNINSURED and UNEMPLOYED.
Julio, a video journalist and a father of two, was recently laid off from his Communications Specialist job at the University of Houston School of Public Health in Brownsville.
He was in the process of re-applying for disability benefits that were recently denied despite a recent heart attack.
When I spoke to Julio on Tuesday, his biggest concern was: "Who is going to pay for this?" I told Julio to focus on his recovery because it was very likely that his disability request would no longer be denied.

Julio is an avid Boy Scout and Girl Scout troop leader who loves to camp with his children, Bruno, 20, an Eagle Scout and college student, and Sara, 13, despite the sizzling heat in South Texas. He is also a gifted artist and an avid Beatles fan. His favorite Beatle: John Lennon.
Julio is very well-known, loved and respected in the Rio Grande Valley by people from all walks of life. He has held various jobs as a member of the media for outlets that include RGV Proud, Univision, Televisa and Vallevision.
But perhaps Julio is best known for his days as a young video journalist at KGBT-TV 4, where I had the pleasure of meeting him as a young reporter in the early 90s.
Thank you for keeping Julio and his family in your prayers.
Let's rally around Julio so we can help him in any way we can during this very difficult and uncertain time... If you can find it in your heart to help, go to:

Montoya has left channel 23 channel 5 and 4 and Boring Wightman and crazy Mchale in the dust. There should be a MONTOYA TV STATION AND KMON RADIO STATION because Juan Montoya is on fire, sincerely Mr. Pennaeus Vanemei and Mr Penaeus Azteca
It is amazing Captain Bob has Wonderwoman Amanda . it is a beautiful love story. They are perfect ambassadors for Brownsville and both have such charming personalities. I guess the haters are jealous. Oh well
Bob sanchez, grow up!
Tell him not to worry for just like the system picks up all the medical bills for the wetback who come over here to invade our hospitals for free, the hospital will certain see it only fair to support one of us from these United States for once. Let the TV channels starts a rally like they do with the fans that go out to people who go sell them at the flea markets or trade them for beer. Get well soon, Mr. Olivo, even if you can't read this right now.
Did he make it?
