Help Pedro, my brother, Overcome Guillain-Barré.

Donation protected
Just a few weeks ago, life was ordinary for Pedro, filled with the everyday joys and challenges we all experience. As an avid soccer player and a doting father of four, his life was a beautiful tapestry of family moments and exhilarating games. His children, especially the three youngest with the eldest of them being only 8, adored him for his playful spirit and boundless energy. Pedro's life was vibrant, full of laughter, and soccer matches, painting a picture of a man truly in his element.

However, this vibrant picture was shattered when Pedro was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Now confined to a hospital bed, his world has narrowed down to endless medical tests and a looming uncertainty. Doctors have told us he faces a long road to recovery, with physical therapy that could extend for a year. The man who once chased a soccer ball with effortless grace now faces a daily battle for basic movements. His children miss their father's embrace, his laughter, and the shared joy of playing together. Our family is grappling with this heart-wrenching shift, as we watch a once vigorous life being eroded by this unexpected ailment.
