Por la completa recuperación Dr. Abelardo Yepez H.

(Spanish version below)
My father is a Pediatrician Urologist Surgeon & Transplantologist, known as Dr. Abelardo Yépez - born in Valencia, Venezuela, with Ecuadorian roots as well. His vocation, dedication, service and passion is and has been helping save as many children as possible, both in Venezuela and in Ecuador for the past 30 years.

He's loved by so many people, especially by his patients - for his spirituality, human warmth, the calm and peace he transmits with his expertise and kind words for any and all situations. My hero, and that of many others too.

When the pandemic started, despite his age (62) he never once thought of quitting.

From day one he's been in the Hospital, fighting alongside other young doctors, taking all necessary precautions.

Unfortunately, he contracted COVID in Quito, Ecuador, on Friday 12th of February 2021 during an emergency surgery and has spent 1 month in Intensive Care fighting for his life. He was able to leave ICU and little by little seemed to recover, until he was sent home recently. However, 48h after leaving the hospital there was a severe complication and almost lost his life.

The medical diagnosis was advanced Pulmonary Thrombosis (embolism), and he's currently in a critical state...he's holding on to dear life, again in ICU at the specialised Hospital where he's getting all the treatment and care necessary to save his life.

In order to continue his treatment, we need to raise 50k€ which will cover all expenses and will grant him a full recovery. I've created a GoFundMe so you can donate if you'd like.

Every little helps! We'll be eternally grateful for any amount.

Mi papá es cirujano urólogo pediatra y trasplantólogo, conocido como el “Dr. Abelardo Yépez”, nacido en Valencia, Venezuela y también con nacionalidad Ecuatoriana, su vocación, dedicación, servicio y amor es curar y salvar a todos los niños posibles tanto en Venezuela como en el Ecuador desde hace más de 30 años.

Es querido por muchísimas personas, especialmente por sus pacientes, por su espiritualidad, calidad humana, con ese don de calma y paz que transmite con sus palabras correctas y expertis para cualquier momento y circunstancia. Mi héroe y el de muchos.

Cuando comenzó la pandemia, a pesar de tener 62 años, nunca quiso desertar.

Desde el día uno está en el Hospital en la lucha con los médicos jóvenes, cada día tomando todas las precauciones. 

Se contagió de COVID en Quito, Ecuador, el viernes 12 de febrero de 2021 en una cirugía de emergencia. Estuvo 1 mes en terapia intensiva luchando por su vida donde pudo superar esta etapa hasta que fue dado de alta. Vuelve a casa con nosotros y luego de 48h tuvo una complicación severa y casi se nos va. 

El diagnóstico médico es una Trombosis Pulmonar avanzada, se encuentra en estado crítico, aguantando…. está internado en la Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos en un Hospital especializado, donde está recibiendo todos los servicios y procedimientos necesarios para salvar su vida. 

Para poder lograrlo necesitamos recaudar 50k€ para cumplir con todos los gastos de su tratamiento y completa recuperación a través de gofundme puedes hacer tu donativo.

¡Todo suma! estaremos eternamente agradecidos
