Fund Marcela's Intubation

Beloved medicine woman and mother, Marcela Pantigozo, is suffering from pneumonia. Her lungs have stopped functioning, and she has been admitted to a hospital in Cusco, Peru. She is currently on intubation and may be in the hospital anywhere between one to three months. She and her family are in need of support to help sustain the costs of the hospital stay, which are estimated at 90,000 soles (~$23,000 USD) per month. The doctors say that the stay may extend from one to three months.

For those who don't know her, Marcela is a gift to this world. She is a healer and community organizer who has touched many lives through her medicine and spiritual work.

Two years ago, I stayed with Marcela's family for nearly six months and was deeply impacted by her and her family's generosity and kindness. They open their doors to all who show up in a good way, with a warm embrace of love, song and medicine. I have witnessed Marcela and her family's devotion to the healing and unification of their community and this world, and now they need our support.

We are asking for donations of whatever you can give -- every donation helps.

Marcela is married to David Aedo, and is the mother of Vanessa, Rodrigo, and Gonzalo Aedo Pantigozo. She is a spiritual guide to a community of people in the Sacred Valley and throughout the world.
