<div>Gisela Akiyama Gutiérrez is not only a mother of three. She is a woman who has dedicated her life to serving God and serving others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For over 30 years, she has given her heart to helping those in need. As a child psychologist, she has supported children through difficult moments. As a Christian pastor since 2015, she has guided many people to rediscover faith, hope, and purpose in their lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, Gisela needs us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the end of December 2025, she began experiencing tingling on the right side of her body and episodes of dizziness. Over time, these symptoms became more severe. She started having difficulty walking and speaking, something she never imagined facing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In March 2026, after undergoing medical tests, she received life-changing news: a 3 x 3 cm tumor on the left side of her brain.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Doctors have been clear. The surgery is urgent. Every day that passes, the tumor continues to affect her motor skills and overall quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gisela has always been there for others. Today, she finds herself in a position where she needs help to keep living, to continue being a mother, and to keep serving as she has done her entire life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The cost of the surgery exceeds 500,000 pesos, an amount that is beyond what her family can afford.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That is why we turn to you.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every donation, no matter the amount, brings her one step closer to receiving the surgery that can change her future. If you are unable to donate, sharing this campaign can also make a meaningful difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, we have the opportunity to be there for her, just as she has been there for so many others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My mother, Gisela Akiyama, is the one in need of urgent surgery. The beneficiary of the transfers will be my father, who is in charge of her medical care and is coordinating every aspect of this difficult process for our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I, Joanna, along with my three siblings, live with them and are supporting our mother’s care at home every day, as well as taking on all household responsibilities during this challenging time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All funds raised will be used directly to cover the costs of my mother’s urgent surgery, as well as her hospitalization and recovery process. This surgery must take place within no more than one week, making time a critical factor in protecting her health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The purpose of this campaign is to reach the amount estimated by the medical specialist, which is necessary to proceed with the surgery as soon as possible and provide my mother with the care she urgently needs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and for being part of this story of hope.

</div>
<div>Gisela Akiyama Gutiérrez no es solo una madre de tres hijos. Es una mujer que ha dedicado su vida a servir a Dios y a servir a los demás.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Durante más de 30 años, ha entregado su corazón a ayudar a quienes más lo necesitan. Como psicóloga infantil, ha acompañado a niños en momentos difíciles. Como pastora cristiana desde 2015, ha guiado a muchas personas a reencontrarse con la fe, la esperanza y el propósito en sus vidas.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy, Gisela necesita de nosotros.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A finales de diciembre de 2025, comenzó a sentir hormigueo en el lado derecho de su cuerpo y episodios de mareo. Con el paso de las semanas, estos síntomas se volvieron más graves. Empezó a tener dificultades para caminar y para hablar, algo que jamás imaginó enfrentar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>En marzo de 2026, después de varios estudios, recibió un diagnóstico que cambió todo: un tumor de 3 x 3 cm en el lado izquierdo del cerebro.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Los médicos han sido claros. La cirugía es urgente. Cada día que pasa, el tumor sigue afectando sus capacidades motrices y su calidad de vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gisela siempre ha estado para los demás. Hoy, ella se encuentra en una situación donde necesita ayuda para poder seguir viviendo, para poder seguir siendo mamá, para poder seguir sirviendo como lo ha hecho toda su vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El costo de la operación supera los 500,000 pesos, una cantidad que está fuera del alcance de su familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por eso acudimos a ti.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cada donación, sin importar el monto, representa una oportunidad para que Gisela pueda acceder a esta cirugía que puede cambiar su destino. Si no puedes donar, compartir esta campaña también puede hacer una gran diferencia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy podemos ser ese apoyo que ella ha sido para tantos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Mi mamá, Gisela Akiyama, es quien necesita una cirugía urgente. El beneficiario de las transferencias será mi papá, quien está a cargo de toda su atención médica y de coordinar cada aspecto de este proceso tan difícil para nuestra familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Yo, Joanna, junto con mis tres hermanos, vivimos con ellos y estamos apoyando día a día en el cuidado de nuestra mamá en casa, así como en todas las responsabilidades del hogar mientras atravesamos esta situación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Todos los fondos recaudados serán destinados directamente a cubrir los gastos de la cirugía urgente de mi mamá, así como su hospitalización y proceso de recuperación. Esta cirugía debe realizarse en un lapso no mayor a una semana, por lo que el tiempo es un factor crucial para poder salvar su salud.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>El objetivo de esta campaña es alcanzar el monto estimado por el especialista médico, necesario para poder realizar el procedimiento lo antes posible y darle a mi mamá la atención que necesita.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por tu ayuda, por tu generosidad y por ser parte de esta historia de esperanza.
</div>
<div><br />
