With breadwinner ill, family gets help On a warm day last June, Sergio Hernandez felt a slight pain in his belly - not quite a stomachache, and not quite a cramp. [...] by the fourth day, the pain was so intense that there was no ignoring a trip to the emergency room. [...] the throbbing was so severe that Hernandez was given pain medication even before a doctor examined him. The medical examination showed Hernandez's gall bladder was inflamed and would have to come out. With no income, Hernandez worried how he would buy school supplies, pay utilities, keep up with the rent and feed his family. Jose Hernandez also told the family about The Chronicle's Season of Sharing program, which ending up paying the family's rent for a month.
