<div><strong>Historia:</strong>

</div>

<div>El 5 de mayo de 2025, mi padre, Edgar Acosta, sufrió un derrame cerebral isquémico que dejó severamente dañada la parte derecha de su cerebro. Como resultado, todo el lado izquierdo de su cuerpo quedó inmóvil, y también se vieron afectadas su capacidad de hablar, su memoria y sus funciones cognitivas.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Con tan solo 55 años, ahora está reaprendiendo a:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Caminar

</li>

<li>Sostener objetos

</li>

<li>Cepillarse el cabello

</li>

<li>Tomar su medicina

</li>

<li>Comunicarse con claridad

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Ha sido desgarrador presenciar este proceso. Tareas que antes eran automáticas ahora deben enseñarse desde cero. Su recuperación está ocurriendo durante una ventana crítica de seis meses conocida como neuroplasticidad, en la cual el cerebro trabaja intensamente para crear nuevas conexiones y compensar las funciones perdidas. Sin el apoyo adecuado, esta ventana podría cerrarse sin darle la mejor oportunidad de recuperación.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Por Qué Necesitamos Ayuda:</strong>

</div>

<div>Debido a que Edgar trabajó por su cuenta durante muchos años, actualmente no califica para recibir beneficios del gobierno mientras no esté laborando. Mi hermano Geovanny y yo, junto con otros familiares, estamos cuidándolo a tiempo completo, sin apoyo externo. Yo dejé mi trabajo y mi hogar en California para estar con él las 24 horas del día. Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para mantenerlo seguro, motivado y en recuperación, pero no podemos afrontar este largo camino solos.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Estamos pidiendo su ayuda para recaudar $20,000 dólares que cubrirán:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Terapia física, ocupacional y del habla

</li>

<li>Insulina y otros medicamentos esenciales

</li>

<li>Acupuntura, masajes y posible tratamiento con células madre

</li>

<li>Transporte a sus citas médicas

</li>

<li>Suministros diarios de cuidado y equipo médico

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Quién Es Él:</strong>

</div>

<div>Edgar siempre ha trabajado muy duro para ayudar a los demás y mantener a su familia en México, incluso a costa de su propia salud. Aunque este derrame ha cambiado su vida para siempre, sigue siendo nuestro padre, y creemos en su fuerza para seguir luchando.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Sabemos que no todos pueden donar, pero incluso compartir esta página nos ayuda a acercarnos al cuidado que necesita. Cada oración, mensaje o contribución es profundamente agradecida.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Gracias por leernos y por estar a nuestro lado en este momento tan difícil.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Con gratitud,

</div>

<div><strong>History:</strong>

</div>

<div>On May 5, 2025, my father, Edgar Acosta, suffered an ischemic stroke that left the right side of his brain severely damaged. As a result, the entire left side of his body became immobile, and his speech, memory, and cognitive abilities were also affected.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>At just 55 years old, he is now relearning how to:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Walk

</li>

<li>Hold objects

</li>

<li>Brush his hair

</li>

<li>Take his medication

</li>

<li>Communicate clearly

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This has been heartbreaking to watch. Tasks that were once second nature must now be taught from scratch. His recovery is taking place during a critical six-month window known as neuroplasticity, when the brain works hard to create new pathways to compensate for lost function. Without the right support, this window could close without giving him the best chance at healing.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Why We Need Help:</strong>

</div>

<div>Because Edgar worked independently for so many years, he currently doesn’t qualify for government benefits while he’s not working. My brother Geovanny and I, along with other family members, are caring for him full-time, without outside help. I left my job and my home in California to be here with him 24/7. We are doing everything we can to keep him safe, hopeful, and progressing—but we cannot afford the long road ahead alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We are asking for your help to raise $20,000 to cover:

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<ul>

<li>Physical, occupational, and speech therapy

</li>

<li>Insulin and other essential medications

</li>

<li>Acupuncture, massage therapy, and possible stem cell treatment

</li>

<li>Transportation to and from appointments

</li>

<li>Daily care supplies and medical equipment

</li>

</ul>

<div><br />

</div>

<div><strong>Who He Is:</strong>

</div>

<div>Edgar has always worked hard to give to others and support his family in Mexico, even at the expense of his own health. Though this stroke has changed him permanently, he is still our father, and we believe in his strength to keep fighting.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>We know that not everyone can donate, but even sharing this page helps us get closer to the care he needs. Every prayer, message, or contribution is deeply appreciated.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for reading and for standing by us during this incredibly difficult time.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>With gratitude,

</div>

<div>Alma Lucero Acosta, Angel Geovanny Acosta &amp; the Acosta Family
