Hola, me llamo César. Esta es mi mamá, Lizbeth, y esta campaña existe porque necesito ayuda para poder darle el tratamiento que necesita para recuperarse.
Lo que pasó
Hace 3 meses, Lizbeth sufrió un ACV (accidente cerebrovascular). Un ACV ocurre cuando se interrumpe el flujo de sangre al cerebro. Puede causar daños permanentes en cuestión de minutos, y lo que pasa después depende directamente de qué tan rápido y constante sea el tratamiento posterior. Ese día, la vida de mi mamá y la mía cambiaron por completo.
Cómo está hoy
Tres meses después, Lizbeth todavía convive todos los días con las consecuencias del ACV:
El lado derecho de su cuerpo quedó parcialmente paralizado. Su pie derecho no responde bien al caminar, lo que le hace perder el equilibrio y la expone a caídas. Su brazo izquierdo tiembla de forma involuntaria, un movimiento que ella no puede controlar ni frenar por sí misma. Además, tiene rigidez en el brazo que le dificulta el movimiento normal. También perdió el control de su postura, se inclina hacia un costado tanto sentada como parada, sin poder corregirlo sola, algo que la expone constantemente a caídas. Desde el ACV, también le da miedo caminar, incluso con ayuda.
Ninguna de estas cosas mejora sola. Todas necesitan tratamiento activo, constante, y guiado por profesionales.
Por qué esto es urgente
Los médicos son claros en algo importante: los primeros meses después de un ACV son los más determinantes para la recuperación. Es el período en el que el cerebro tiene mayor capacidad de recuperar funciones perdidas. Si el tratamiento se interrumpe o se retrasa por falta de recursos, se pierde una ventana de recuperación que no vuelve. Por eso esta campaña no puede esperar.
El tratamiento que necesita
Rehabilitación física intensiva (kinesiología neurológica) y terapia ocupacional, todos los días, con ejercicios específicos de equilibrio y control postural para que deje de inclinarse hacia un costado, y para que su cuerpo no pierda para siempre la movilidad que todavía puede recuperar. Sin este tratamiento constante, el riesgo es que la parálisis parcial de su lado derecho se vuelva permanente. Una órtesis de pie hecha a medida, para que pueda caminar con más estabilidad y menos riesgo de caídas. Evaluación y seguimiento con fisiatra y neurólogo, para tratar la rigidez y el temblor involuntario de su brazo, identificar la causa exacta de la pérdida de equilibrio, y monitorear su evolución neurológica. Apoyo psicológico, para ayudarla a superar el miedo a caminar que le quedó después del ACV. Medicación continua y controles médicos de rutina, para sostener su recuperación y prevenir un segundo ACV.
Este tratamiento no es opcional ni algo que pueda posponerse. Es lo que mi mamá necesita para volver a caminar con seguridad, recuperar el uso de su brazo, y recuperar su independencia.
Quién soy y por qué pido ayuda
Soy su único hijo . No tengo otro familiar cercano con quien compartir esta responsabilidad. Vivimos en Argentina, y el costo de este tratamiento supera lo que puedo cubrir solo con mis propios recursos.
No es fácil pedir ayuda de esta manera. Pero mi mamá necesita este tratamiento ahora, no cuando yo consiga juntar el dinero de a poco. Por eso decidí abrir esta campaña.
En qué se va a usar el dinero recaudado
El objetivo de esta campaña es reunir USD 15.000. Este dinero se va a usar exclusivamente para:
- Rehabilitación física intensiva (kinesiología neurológica) y terapia ocupacional
- La órtesis de pie hecha a medida
- Consultas y seguimiento con fisiatra y neurólogo
- Sesiones de apoyo psicológico
- Medicación y controles médicos de rutina
Voy a publicar actualizaciones periódicas sobre el progreso de ella y sobre cómo se está usando cada donación, para que quien colabore pueda ver el impacto de su apoyo.
Cómo puedes ayudar
Cualquier donación ayuda, sin importar el monto. Si no puedes donar, compartir esta campaña con tu familia y amigos también es una gran forma de ayudar — muchas veces esto llega más lejos de lo que uno imagina.
Gracias de corazón por leer hasta acá, y gracias por cualquier apoyo que puedas dar a mi mamá y a mí en este momento tan difícil.
Con todo mi cariño, César.
Hi, my name is César. This is my mom, Lizbeth, and we’re running this campaign because I need help to provide her with the treatment she needs to recover.
What Happened
Three months ago, Lizbeth suffered a stroke. A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted. It can cause permanent damage in a matter of minutes, and what happens afterward depends directly on how quickly and consistently she receives treatment. That day, my mom’s life—and mine—changed completely.
How She’s Doing Today
Three months later, Lizbeth still lives with the consequences of the stroke every day:
The right side of her body is partially paralyzed. Her right foot doesn’t respond well when she walks, causing her to lose her balance and putting her at risk of falling. Her left arm shakes involuntarily—a movement she cannot control or stop on her own. In addition, she has stiffness in her arm that makes normal movement difficult. She has also lost control of her posture; she leans to one side whether sitting or standing and cannot correct it on her own, which constantly puts her at risk of falling. Since the stroke, she has also been afraid to walk, even with assistance.
None of these issues will improve on their own. All require active, consistent treatment guided by professionals.
Why This Is Urgent
Doctors are clear on one important point: the first few months after a stroke are the most critical for recovery. This is the period when the brain has the greatest capacity to regain lost functions. If treatment is interrupted or delayed due to a lack of resources, a window of opportunity for recovery is lost—and it never returns. That’s why this campaign can’t wait.
The treatment she needs
Intensive physical rehabilitation (neurological kinesiology) and occupational therapy, every day, with specific balance and postural control exercises so she stops leaning to one side, and so her body doesn’t permanently lose the mobility she can still regain. Without this consistent treatment, there is a risk that the partial paralysis on her right side will become permanent. A custom-made foot orthosis, so she can walk with greater stability and a lower risk of falls. Evaluation and follow-up with a physiatrist and neurologist to treat the stiffness and involuntary tremor in her arm, identify the exact cause of her loss of balance, and monitor her neurological progress. Psychological support to help her overcome the fear of walking that she has had since her stroke. Ongoing medication and routine medical checkups to sustain her recovery and prevent a second stroke.
This treatment is neither optional nor something that can be postponed. It is what my mom needs to walk safely again, regain the use of her arm, and regain her independence.
Who I Am and Why I’m Asking for Help
I am her only son. I have no other close family members with whom to share this responsibility. We live in Argentina, and the cost of this treatment exceeds what I can cover on my own.
It’s not easy to ask for help this way. But my mom needs this treatment now—not when I manage to save up the money little by little. That’s why I decided to launch this campaign.
How the Money Raised Will Be Used
The goal of this campaign is to raise USD 15,000. This money will be used exclusively for:
- Intensive physical rehabilitation (neurological kinesiology) and occupational therapy
- A custom-made foot orthosis
- Consultations and follow-ups with a physiatrist and neurologist
- Psychological support sessions
- Medication and routine medical checkups
I’ll post regular updates on her progress and on how each donation is being used, so that everyone who contributes can see the impact of their support.
How You Can Help
Any donation helps, no matter the amount. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your family and friends is also a great way to help—often, this goes further than you might imagine.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading this far, and thank you for any support you can give my mom and me during this difficult time.
With love, César.
