She is my sister, Diocelina Portillo, who lives in Caracas, Venezuela.
Diocelina is 63 years old. She is a single mother of two daughters and a loving grandmother to one grandson. She is a hardworking woman who, despite her health conditions, continues to work and do everything she can to support herself and her family.
She has been diagnosed with chronic ischemic and hypertensive heart disease. Recent cardiac testing performed at the University Hospital of Caracas showed myocardial ischemia affecting the inferior wall of her heart, along with abnormalities in the heart's contractility.
Based on her medical evaluation, her doctors have recommended that she undergo a cardiac catheterization and angioplasty with the placement of one drug-eluting stent.
The medical estimate for the procedure is $6.000 USD.
For Diocelina and our family, this amount is far beyond what we can afford. She also has ongoing medical expenses related to her hypertension and diabetes.
That is why we are reaching out to family, friends, and kind people who may be willing to help.
Every donation, no matter the amount, brings Diocelina one step closer to receiving the procedure she needs. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign with your friends, family, and social networks would also mean so much to us.
We are deeply grateful for every donation, every share, every prayer, and every message of support.
Thank you for helping Diocelina have the opportunity to continue being the mother, grandmother, and hardworking woman she has always been.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. May God bless you for your kindness and generosity.

Ella es mi hermana, Diocelina Portillo, quien vive en Caracas, Venezuela.
Diocelina tiene 63 años. Es madre soltera de dos hijas y una abuela cariñosa de un nieto. Es una mujer trabajadora que, a pesar de sus problemas de salud, sigue trabajando y haciendo todo lo posible para mantenerse a sí misma y a su familia.
Ha sido diagnosticada con cardiopatía isquémica crónica e hipertensiva. Estudios cardíacos recientes realizados en el Hospital Universitario de Caracas revelaron isquemia miocárdica que afecta la pared inferior del corazón, además de anomalías en la contractilidad cardíaca.
Basándose en su evaluación médica, los doctores han recomendado que se someta a un cateterismo cardíaco y a una angioplastia con la colocación de un stent liberador de fármacos.
El presupuesto médico para el procedimiento es de 6.000 dólares estadounidenses.
Para Diocelina y nuestra familia, esta cantidad supera con creces nuestras posibilidades económicas. Ella también tiene gastos médicos continuos relacionados con su hipertensión y diabetes.
Por eso recurrimos a familiares, amigos y personas bondadosas que deseen ayudar.
Cada donación, sin importar la cantidad, acerca a Diocelina un paso más a recibir el procedimiento que necesita. Si no puede donar, compartir esta campaña con sus amigos, familiares y en sus redes sociales también significaría mucho para nosotros.
Estamos profundamente agradecidos por cada donación, cada vez que comparten la campaña, cada oración y cada mensaje de apoyo.
Gracias por ayudar a Diocelina a tener la oportunidad de seguir siendo la madre, la abuela y la mujer trabajadora que siempre ha sido.

Desde lo más profundo de nuestros corazones, gracias. Que Dios los bendiga por su bondad y generosidad.
