The Story: A Bridge to Survival for a Chilean-Venezuelan Family
My name is Juan Carlos. I am a 69-year-old Chilean translator and tech enthusiast currently living in Valencia, Venezuela. I am the sole pillar for a household of six, including my three grandchildren: ages 15, 12, and 8.
We are facing a crisis that has pushed us to the edge of survival. Despite having a house and a small pension in Chile, we are trapped in a "logistical lockdown". After my phone and wallet were stolen, I was locked out of my Chilean bank accounts due to two-factor authentication. While I work toward the 2027 expiration of my documents to return to Chile and resolve this, my family cannot wait.
Currently, my grandchildren are facing malnourishment—breakfast is a luxury we often skip. My 12-year-old granddaughter manages epilepsy, and I personally live with Lupus. The combination of medical needs and food scarcity in an economy with daily devaluations has created a monthly gap of US$2,000 that we simply cannot bridge alone.
Your support will provide:
Nutritional Recovery: Protein, milk, and supplements for three growing children.
Medical Stability: Continuous medication for Lupus management.
A Bridge to the Future: Security for one year while I navigate the legal hurdles to regain my financial autonomy.
Mi nombre es Juan Carlos. Soy un traductor chileno de 69 años que vive en Valencia, Venezuela. Soy el único sostén de un hogar de seis personas, incluidos mis tres nietos de 15, 12 y 8 años.
Estamos enfrentando una crisis que nos ha llevado al límite de la supervivencia. A pesar de tener una casa y una pequeña pensión en Chile, estamos atrapados en un "bloqueo logístico". Tras el robo de mi teléfono y mi billetera, quedé bloqueado de mis cuentas bancarias chilenas debido a la autenticación de dos factores. Mientras trabajo para resolver esto cuando mis documentos expiren en 2027, mi familia no puede esperar.
Actualmente, mis nietos sufren de desnutrición; el desayuno es un lujo que solemos saltar. Mi nieta de 12 años padece epilepsia y yo vivo con Lupus. La combinación de necesidades médicas y la escasez de alimentos en una economía con devaluaciones diarias ha creado una brecha mensual de US$2,000 que no podemos cubrir solos.
Su apoyo proporcionará:
Recuperación Nutricional: Proteínas, leche y suplementos para tres niños en crecimiento.
Estabilidad Médica: Medicación continua para la epilepsia y el tratamiento del Lupus.
Un Puente hacia el Futuro: Seguridad por un año mientras supero los obstáculos legales para recuperar mi autonomía financiera.
