Ayuda a Maria Victoria a luchar contra el cancer

Queridos amigos y familiares:

Nunca pensé que haríamos una campaña de Gofundme para mi madre y aquí les comparto su historia, escrita por mi hermana Irene:

El 15 de febrero de 2020 se ha levantado como un día normal de la cama y ha ido al baño (como regularmente lo hace) pero nota que tiene un sangramiento, para ella es una gran sorpresa pues a su edad 68 años y siendo postmenopáusica estas cosas saltan la normalidad.  
Con mucha calma coge el teléfono y pide ayuda a un amigo médico Ginecólogo para que la observe en su consultorio y tan pronto pudo se dirigió a la clínica.  El médico al examinarla, se encuentra  el endometrio engrosado, una lesión polipoidea en fondo uterino y otra lesión que por su experiencia no le agrada. La remite a otro colega para un examen mas riguroso, profundo y a la vez costoso.  Al realizarse la  Histeroscopia diagnosticada y después de varios minutos consiguen mirar de cerca y dar con el diagnostico final, un CA Villoglandular Focal que no es otra cosa  que un Cancer de utero localizado en su etapa inicial.

Ella vive en Venezuela , un país en donde la situación política , económica y social está desbordada cada día.  Lo que hace que cada día se  les haga mas difícil cubrir los gastos requeridos  para esta emergencia.  La recomendación de su médico es hacerle una Histerectomía Total que será realizada por el Dr. Manuel Meneses Guevara en la Clínica Leopoldo Aguerrevere en Caracas, Venezuela.

Los presupuestos operatorios en Venezuela varían debido a la inflación que sufre el país  y tienen una validez de 5 días hábiles, dejándonos con poco tiempo para la recaudación y expuestos al cambio. Tanto ella como mi padre  se han vistos forzados a cancelar su póliza de seguros porque no cubren lo necesario y son excesivamente costosas para poder pagarlas.  Esto nos deja desafortunadamente, como lo sospechamos, con un costo de $11.000 por la operación y honorarios médicos incluidos que no podemos costear en este momento. a parte de los costo de la operación debemos pagar su post operatoria, medicamentos, chequeos  y revisiones posteriores.

Le pido a cada persona que conoce y quiera a mi mamá  que por favor done y la ayude con su aporte  para  llevar a cabo la cirugía que requiere y emprender su viaje a la sanación.  

Desde mi corazón y el de nuestra familia agradezco a todos por su ayuda.

Dear friends and family,



I never thought I would have to create a go fund campaign to help my mum, but sadly I am now having to share her story.


On the morning of 15 th February my mum woke up and went to the bathroom as she usually does, and she noticed that there was blood in her urine. Being a postmenopausal woman at the age of 67, this was certainly not normal and came as a big surprise.


She kept calm and picked up the phone in order to call her friend, who is also a trained gynaecologist. She asked for help immediately and went straight to the clinic where they performed a transvaginal echocardiogram. The exam revealed an enlarged endometrium, and a tumour at the end of her uterus. She was referred to another colleague for a more in depth exam, costly exam. The hysteroscopy enabled them to see closer inside and identify the problem. It was at that particular moment when my mum heard the doctor's words "You have cancer". Her children could not be with her when she received the diagnosis of the uterine cancer, only my father, who was accompanying her.


The news was heartbreaking for me, and hearing it made me frightened as it is the only mum I have who, for seven years, I have been unable to see due to the situation in our country. She lives in Venezuela, where the political, economic and social situation is overwhelmed and every day life for a average citizen is increasingly difficult. Public hospitals don't work as they should due to lack of medical supplies, and private clinics are dollarised, which, despite the fact that the currency is still the Bolívar and the population earns their salary in Bolívares, makes it almost impossible to cover the required expenses.


She now begins her journey through cancer and will need an abdominal hysterectomy and further hospitalisation, performed by Dr. Manuel Meneses Guevara at the Leopoldo Aguerrevere clinic in Caracas, Venezuela. The budgets for medical operations in Venezuela fluctuate due to intense inflation suffered in the country and are valid for only 5 business days, leaving us with very little time for collection and exposed to change. Both she and my father have been forced to cancel their insurance policy as they no longer can afford the monthly payments. This unfortunately leaves us with an estimated cost of $ 10,000 for the operation and associated medical fees that we cannot afford at this time.


Aside from the operation, we must pay a carer to help her with the post-operation process as she will be unwell for several days, as well as medication and subsequent check-ups.



I would like to ask everybody that knows and loves Maria Victoria to please donate and help her to recover from this awful illness.



We are with you Mum! We will make it together!

From my heart and that of our family, thank you for your help!
