<div>Hello everyone,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As many of you know, I am a first-time mom, and there’s a saying that babies bring many blessings, and mine certainly has. But as life and God often do, challenges are thrown our way to help us grow stronger and prepare us for something even greater. I know everyone has their own struggles, and today, I’m reaching out to see if anyone can help with a small donation. Even $1 (just a tiny seed, can grow into a beautiful flower and help create a thriving garden). It doesn’t hurt to ask, right?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Currently, I need to undergo surgery to remove my gallbladder, and I need to do it ASAP. I discovered I had gallstones during a sonogram at six months pregnant, enough to catch the doctor’s eye. At first, the symptoms were mild &amp; similar to pregnancy symptoms, so I dismissed them, but now the pain is sometimes unbearable, and the stones are worsening every day. It’s making my daily duties as a mom more and more difficult.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On top of that, my mom needs cataract surgery before she risks losing her sight altogether. I want to be there for her, just as she’s been there for me, once she has the funds (around $2230) for her procedure, not including all the medication they prescribe &amp; follow ups.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’ve gotten a quote from a state hospital, which is the most affordable option where I live. Approximately $1500, but if there are any concerns or complications and need extra days/tests about $1950. There’s also a public hospital, but the waitlist is thousands long, and tragically, there have been many cases where patients have died during or right after surgery because the necessary equipment wasn’t available, yet they still moved forward. I’ve included a couple of recent cases in the pictures. Feel free to look them up; it’s heartbreaking.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This isn’t just about me. If it was me alone, I’d tough it out and take my chances. But I have a son now, and I need to be around for him. Plus, my previous job went bankrupt, so things have been tough all around. I truly believe that even in difficult times, God’s plan is to prepare me for something greater.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even if you can’t donate, sharing this link a couple of times can make a huge difference. Maybe someone you know wants to “pay it forward,” has a little extra to give, or even wants to help for charitable tax purposes.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, your support means everything to us.

<div>Hola a todos,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Como muchos de ustedes saben, soy una madre soltera primeriza, y hay un dicho que los bebés traen muchas bendiciones, y el mío ciertamente lo a hecho. Pero como la vida y Dios a menudo hacen, los desafíos se lanzan a nuestro camino para ayudarnos a crecer más fuertes y prepararnos para algo aún más grande. Sé que cada uno de ustedes tiene sus propias luchas, y hoy, me estoy acercando para ver si alguien puede ayudar con una pequeña donación. Incluso $1 (solo una pequeña semilla, puede crecer hasta convertirse en una hermosa flor y ayudar a crear un jardín próspero). Entonces no duele preguntar.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Actualmente, necesito someterme a una cirugía para extirparme la vesícula biliar, y tengo que hacerlo cuanto antes. Descubrí que tenía piedras en la vesícula durante una ecografía a los seis meses de embarazo, suficientes para llamar la atención del médico. Al principio, los síntomas eran leves y similares a los del embarazo, así que los descarté, pero ahora el dolor a veces es insoportable y los cálculos empeoran cada día. Esto está haciendo que mis tareas diarias como madre sean cada vez más difíciles.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Además de eso, mi madre necesita una cirugía de cataratas antes de arriesgarse a perder la vista por completo. Quiero estar allí para ella, al igual que ella ha estado allí para mí, una vez que tenga los fondos (alrededor de $2230) para su procedimiento, sin incluir todos los medicamentos que recetan y los seguimientos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He pedido un presupuesto en un hospital estatal, que es la opción más asequible donde vivo. Aproximadamente 1500 dólares, pero si hay alguna preocupación o complicación y necesito días o pruebas extra, unos 1950 dólares. También hay un hospital público, pero la lista de espera es de miles y, trágicamente, han habido muchos casos en los que pacientes han fallecido durante o justo después de la cirugía porque no había el equipo necesario, y aun así los doctores siguen operando. He incluido un par de casos recientes en las fotos. Siéntase libre de buscarlos; Es desgarrador.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Esto no se trata solo de mí. Si fuera yo sola, me resistiría y me arriesgaría. Pero ahora tengo un hijo, y necesito estar aquí para él. Además, mi trabajo anterior fue a la bancarrota, así que las cosas han sido difíciles por todas partes. Realmente creo que incluso en tiempos difíciles, el plan de Dios es prepararme para algo más grande.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Aunque no puedan donar, compartiendo este enlace un par de veces puede marcar una gran diferencia. Quizá alguien que conoces quiera, como dicen los gringos “pay it forward” "hoy por ti, mañana por mí", o tengan un poco más para contribuir o incluso se quieran ayudar con fines tributarios caritativos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Muchas gracias por tomarse el tiempo para leer esto, su apoyo significa todo para nosotros.
</div>
