Tijuana Toddler Eren Dies After Transplant Complications

The family is seeking help to cover funeral costs.

Overview

  • Eren Mael Villalobos Flores died after a period of critical multiorgan failure, his family announced on social media.
  • The family plans a farewell in Tijuana and shared an HSBC account under Martina Bravo Rodríguez for donations to cover funeral expenses.
  • Earlier, his parents said doctors reported his body was no longer responding, and they began to withdraw life support to prevent further suffering.
  • Eren was diagnosed as an infant with biliary atresia, a rare blockage of bile flow, and underwent two liver transplants, with his father donating in the second surgery.
  • Following post-transplant complications, he returned to surgery to remove a clot in the portal vein, and the family had turned to a clinic in Guadalajara and a GoFundMe drive that raised more than 150,000 pesos due to limited IMSS specialist care in Baja California.
