<div>Hi,
</div>
<div>My name is Andrea Fabre, and I’m Ricardo Fabre’s sister. I’m organizing this campaign to ask for your support during one of the most difficult moments our family has ever faced.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> A Life-Saving Surgery</strong>
</div>
<div>On August 7, 2025, Ricardo will undergo a delicate open-heart surgery. Doctors will perform the Ross procedure, which involves:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Replacing his aortic valve with his own pulmonary valve
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Placing a donor valve in the pulmonary position
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Removing his entire aorta, which has grown to twice its normal size and can no longer function
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Replacing it with a synthetic aorta to restore proper blood flow and heart function
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is a highly complex and high-risk procedure, but it is absolutely necessary to save Ricardo’s life and give him a chance at a better quality of life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> A Long and Challenging Recovery</strong>
</div>
<div>After surgery, Ricardo will face a long and delicate recovery. For several months, he won’t be able to work and will need to attend regular therapies and medical follow-ups. This will take a huge toll on him physically, emotionally, and financially.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>❤️ Who Is Ricardo?</strong>
</div>
<div>If you know Ricardo, you know how amazing he is.
</div>
<div>He is full of life, joyful, funny, a loyal friend, and a nature lover—he loves camping and exploring beautiful landscapes, just like I do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is my brother, my best friend, my confidant, and my life companion. And now, more than ever, he needs the support of those who love him and believe in him.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Why We’re Asking for Help</strong>
</div>
<div>The costs of surgery, hospitalization, recovery, medication, therapy, and follow-up care are extremely high. As a family, we’re doing everything we can—but we can’t do it alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why I’m asking for your help. Any donation, no matter how small, will truly make a difference for Ricardo and for our family.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Can’t Donate? Please Share</strong>
</div>
<div>If you’re not able to donate right now, sharing this campaign with others who might be able to help also means the world to us. Together, we are stronger.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading, for your support, and for helping give Ricardo another chance at life.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and hope,
</div>
<div>Andrea Fabre
</div>

</div>
<div>Hola,
</div>
<div>Mi nombre es Andrea Fabre y soy la hermana de Ricardo Fabre. Estoy organizando esta campaña para pedir su apoyo en uno de los momentos más difíciles que estamos atravesando como familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Una cirugía que puede salvarle la vida
</div>
<div>El próximo 7 de agosto de 2025, Ricardo se someterá a una delicada cirugía de corazón abierto. Los médicos realizarán el procedimiento de Ross, el cual consiste en:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reemplazar su válvula aórtica con su propia válvula pulmonar
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Colocar una válvula donante en la posición pulmonar
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Extraer toda su aorta, ya que ha crecido al doble de su tamaño y ya no cumple su función
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Reemplazarla con una aorta sintética para restablecer el flujo sanguíneo y el funcionamiento correcto del corazón
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Es una cirugía sumamente compleja y de alto riesgo, pero totalmente necesaria para salvarle la vida y brindarle una mejor calidad de vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> Una recuperación larga y desafiante
</div>
<div>Después de la cirugía, Ricardo enfrentará una recuperación larga y delicada. Durante varios meses, no podrá trabajar y deberá asistir a terapias y controles médicos frecuentes. Esto representa un gran reto físico, emocional y económico para él y para toda nuestra familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>❤️ ¿Quién es Ricardo?
</div>
<div>Quienes conocen a Ricardo saben lo increíble que es.
</div>
<div>Es una persona llena de vida, risueño, gracioso, buen amigo y amante de la naturaleza—le encanta irse de campamento y disfrutar de los paisajes, igual que yo.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Es mi hermano, mi mejor amigo, mi confidente y mi compañero de vida. Y ahora, más que nunca, necesita del apoyo de quienes lo queremos y creemos en él.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> ¿Por qué pedimos ayuda?
</div>
<div>Los costos médicos, quirúrgicos, hospitalarios, de recuperación, medicamentos, terapias y seguimiento son muy elevados. Como familia estamos haciendo todo lo posible, pero no podemos solos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Por eso les pido con el corazón en la mano que nos ayuden. Cualquier donación, por pequeña que sea, hará una gran diferencia para Ricardo y para nuestra familia.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div> ¿No puedes donar? ¡Comparte!
</div>
<div>Si no puedes donar en este momento, compartir esta campaña con otras personas también es de gran ayuda. Juntos, somos más fuertes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por leer, por su apoyo y por ayudarnos a darle a Ricardo una nueva oportunidad de vida.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con cariño y esperanza,
</div>
<div>Andrea Fabre
</div>
