<div>Hola, soy Cristina Gerlach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Les escribo con el corazón en la mano para contarles que mi mamá, Natalia Laiziaga, está atravesando uno de los momentos más duros de su vida: le han diagnosticado cáncer de vejiga en etapa III.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Después de un mes hospitalizada, tuvo que ser operada dos veces para remover gradualmente un tumor que ocupaba gran parte de su vejiga. Ha pasado por una serie de exámenes exhaustivos, resonancias magnéticas, tomografías, biopsias, ecos, que nos han llevado finalmente a este diagnóstico.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ahora enfrentamos una nueva etapa que implica una tercera operación, además de quimioterapia y radioterapia. Cada uno de estos pasos es urgente y requiere una cantidad enorme de recursos que, en Venezuela, deben ser asumidos en su totalidad por la familia: desde los insumos médicos y medicamentos, hasta los equipos, estudios y cuidados de enfermería.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Ante esta situación, he tomado la decisión de quedarme permanentemente en Caracas para cuidar de mi mamá. Esto también ha significado renunciar a mi trabajo actual y asumir los gastos de reubicarme en Venezuela.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi mamá, “Naty”, es una mujer luminosa, generosa, solidaria. Siempre ha estado ahí para los demás con una sonrisa y un corazón inmenso. Hoy nos toca a nosotros estar para ella.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por eso acudo a ustedes con humildad para pedirles ayuda. Toda contribución, por pequeña que parezca, suma y hace una diferencia inmensa. También pueden ayudarnos compartiendo esta campaña.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer, por apoyar y por acompañarnos en este momento tan difícil.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con todo mi agradecimiento,
</div>
<div>Cristina Gerlach
</div>

<div>Hi, I’m Cristina Gerlach.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m writing with my heart in my hands to share that my mom, Natalia Laiziaga, is going through one of the most difficult moments of her life: she has been diagnosed with stage III bladder cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>After spending a month in the hospital, she had to undergo two surgeries to gradually remove a tumor that was occupying most of her bladder. She has also had to go through a series of tests, MRIs, CT scans, biopsies, ultrasounds, which have led us to this diagnosis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are now facing a new and urgent phase that includes a third surgery, followed by chemotherapy and radiation. Each of these steps requires significant resources, and in Venezuela, families must cover 100% of the costs: medical supplies, medications, equipment, tests, and nursing care.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Given this situation, I’ve made the decision to stay in Caracas permanently to care for my mom. This also means stepping away from my current job and taking on the costs of relocating to Venezuela.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mom, “Naty,” is a bright, generous, and loving woman. She’s always been there for others with a smile and an open heart. Today, it’s our turn to be there for her.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I’m reaching out with humility to ask for your help. Every contribution, no matter how small, truly makes a difference. You can also support us by sharing this campaign.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read, for supporting us, and for being by our side during this incredibly difficult time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With all my gratitude,
</div>
<div>Cristina Gerlach
</div>
