Help Mary Carmen Get Urgent Brain Surgery

English:
Hi, my name is Mary Carmen Cordero Castillo. I’m 56 years old and I live in Venezuela. In January 2025, I suffered my second stroke (CVA), and doctors later diagnosed a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) in my brainstem. I urgently need brain radiosurgery to reduce the risk of another stroke or a life-threatening hemorrhage. Unfortunately, this treatment is not available in Venezuela’s public hospitals, and the private center that can perform it has quoted $18,400 USD, which I cannot afford. Any donation—and even sharing this fundraiser—can make a real difference.

Hola, mi nombre es Mary Carmen Cordero Castillo, tengo 56 años y vivo en Venezuela. En enero de 2025 sufrí un segundo evento cerebrovascular (ECV) y luego me diagnosticaron una Malformación Arteriovenosa Cerebral (MAV) en el tallo cerebral. Necesito una radiocirugía cerebral para reducir el riesgo de una hemorragia grave u otro ECV, pero en Venezuela no está disponible en centros públicos y en el sector privado el costo es de 18.400 USD, un monto que no puedo cubrir. Cualquier ayuda y el simple hecho de compartir esta campaña puede marcar la diferencia.
