¡Hola! Estamos reuniendo dinero para costear los gastos médicos de Leo.
Nuestro amigo tuvo un accidente el día lunes 23 de junio donde se electrocutó con un poste de luz y cayó desde una altura de 2 metros , causando un traumatismo craneoencefálico y fracturas en la segunda vértebra cervical (Fractura de apófisis odontoides grado ll y fracturas en el cuerpo vertebral del axis), una zona de alto riesgo donde un mal manejo puede perjudicar la movilidad de todo su cuerpo, e incluso su vida.
Te platicamos un poco sobre nuestro amigo: Leo es una persona de 27 años de edad con un enorme corazón y mucha vida por delante. Es licenciado en rehabilitación, se dedica a tratar a pacientes con alguna discapacidad. Siempre ha sido una persona alegre, deportista y atenta con sus familiares, amigos y pacientes; y nos gustaría poder regresarle la atención y el cariño que siempre ha brindado.
De igual manera queremos hacerles saber que el tiempo es determinante para hacer esta intervención. Agradecemos de todo corazón cualquier apoyo, por más pequeño que sea.
¡Gracias!

We’re raising funds for our beloved friend Leo. He’s 27 years old—full of life, energy, and kindness. He’s a passionate soccer player, a gym enthusiast, and someone deeply committed to living a healthy lifestyle. Just recently, he completed his degree in Rehabilitation and had begun his professional journey, dedicating his time and heart to helping people with disabilities regain movement, strength, and hope.
Just days ago, after playing a semifinal soccer match where he scored 3 goals, *Leo was electrocuted by a lighting pole near the field. He fell from two meters, suffering a traumatic head injury and a serious cervical spine fracture (specifically a Grade II odontoid process fracture and fractures in the vertebral body of the axis C2). These are extremely delicate, high-risk injuries. A single misstep could result in permanent paralysis—or even cost him his life.* It’s a miracle he survived. But the road ahead is long and uncertain.
Now, *Leo urgently needs surgery* to place a halo immobilization device —a frame that will be screwed into his skull to completely stabilize his neck and prevent spinal cord damage. Without it, his life and mobility are at serious risk.
If all goes well, he’ll face months of bed rest and rehab—becoming his own patient on the road to recovery.
Time is critical.
Let’s come together to support someone who has always shown up for others—with kindness, strength, and a smile. Let’s help Leo heal. Please consider donating or sharing. No contribution is too small.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
