Donate to Support Willie Abreu's Mother Rosie
A donation fund has been set up to help Miami Hurricanes junior outfielder Willie Abreu and his family recover after his mother Rosie suffered a stroke before the team’s postseason run to the College World Series in May 2015.
Rosie suffered a stroke on May 25th and remained hospitalized for months after undergoing emergency brain surgery. A constant presence at Miami Hurricanes baseball games both at home and on the road, Rosie was forced to watch on television while her son captained Miami to the College World Series. While she is now out of the hospital and on the road to recovery, the Abreu family needs support in medical costs and ongoing therapy.
In an effort to support Willie, Rosie and his family during the difficult time, a donation fund has been set up to help pay for the Abreu’s medical bills. Checks can be made out to Manuel Abreu, Willie’s father and Rosie’s husband, and must be delivered to assistant communications director Camron Ghorbi.
Checks can be sent to Camron at 5821 San Amaro Drive, Coral Gables, FL 33146 or may be delivered in person to the Hecht Athletic Center.
It is imperative that any member of the Miami community who wishes to donate money to the family follow the procedure above in order to ensure Willie’s eligibility is not put in jeopardy. Please make sure all money is provided to Camron Ghorbi or another athletics department staff member and not given directly to Willie or any member of the Abreu family.
The entire University of Miami family thanks you in advance for your generosity to Willie, Rosie and the Abreu family.
