Help needed to support my Sister & my mom with brain injury

Donation protected

Hello everyone, my name is Juan, and I am currently facing the most difficult moment of my life. My sister and my mother, who live together in El Campello, Spain, are facing a devastating medical situation. My sister suffered an aneurysm that triggered a stroke, leaving half of her brain non-functional and resulting in total disability. My mother, for her part, is suffering from very advanced Alzheimer's disease. Both depend completely on constant care and require 24-hour assistance for their well-being—including feeding, hygiene, mobility, and continuous medical attention.

Until now, I have done everything in my power to cover these expenses, using my personal savings and managing their care remotely from the United States. However, I have reached the absolute limit of my financial means. The process for obtaining public assistance in Spain is slow, yet the need is immediate. My greatest fear is no longer being able to cover the essential care they require every single day.

That is why I am reaching out to the kindness and generosity of anyone who can help us. The funds raised will go toward paying for caregivers, home health services, medical expenses, medications, food, basic necessities, and ongoing healthcare support. Any contribution—no matter how small—will make a real difference for my family. If you are unable to donate, simply sharing this campaign would also be a tremendous help to us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support and solidarity.

Hola a todos, mi nombre es Juan y me encuentro en el momento más difícil de mi vida. Mi hermana y mi madre, que viven juntas en El Campello, España, enfrentan una situación médica devastadora. Mi hermana sufrió un aneurisma que provocó un derrame cerebral, dejando la mitad de su cerebro sin función y causándole una discapacidad total. Mi madre, por su parte, padece Alzheimer en estado muy avanzado. Ambas dependen completamente de cuidados permanentes y necesitan asistencia las 24 horas del día para su bienestar, incluyendo alimentación, higiene, movilidad y atención médica constante.

Hasta ahora he hecho todo lo posible para sostener los gastos, utilizando mis ahorros y gestionando el cuidado a distancia desde Estados Unidos. Sin embargo, he llegado al límite de mis posibilidades económicas. Los procesos para obtener ayudas públicas en España son lentos y la necesidad es inmediata. Mi mayor temor es no poder seguir cubriendo los cuidados esenciales que ellas necesitan cada día.

Por eso recurro a la solidaridad de quienes puedan ayudarnos. Los fondos recaudados se destinarán a pagar cuidadoras, atención domiciliaria, gastos médicos, medicamentos, alimentación, artículos básicos y apoyo sanitario. Cualquier aportación, por pequeña que sea, marcará una diferencia real para mi familia. Si no puedes donar, compartir la campaña también nos ayuda mucho. Gracias de corazón por tu apoyo y solidaridad.
