Support Urgent Surgery for Silvia's Brain Tumor

Help Silvia, a Loving Mother of 5, Battle a Life-Threatening Brain Tumor

My wife, Dora Quinteros Weber, and I are raising funds to support her sister, Silvia Quinteros. Silvia is a devoted mother of 5 and urgently needs your help in her fight against a life-threatening brain tumor.

On the morning of Monday, March 31, Silvia saw a doctor, and a CT scan revealed a large brain tumor—59x61mm, about the size of an egg. For months, she had been treated for migraines, but this scan finally revealed the true cause of her suffering.

Silvia was initially taken to a hospital, but soon after, she was transferred to a larger hospital that could better address her needs. When she first arrived, she was incoherent and unable to speak clearly. However, just yesterday, she showed signs of improvement and was coherent again. The swelling has gone down a little, but Silvia is still undergoing more tests to prepare for surgery.

She Needs Urgent Surgery—Every Donation Helps

Silvia urgently needs brain surgery to save her life, followed by possible chemotherapy or radiation. The initial cost of her surgery is over Q50,000 (~$7,000 USD), but much more will be needed for ongoing medical expenses, tests, treatment, medications, hospital stay, and travel for her care. Every donation will help cover these critical expenses, giving Silvia a better chance of survival and recovery.

Silvia is only 38 years old, and her children—especially her youngest (5, 9, and 11 years old)—desperately need their mother. She has worked tirelessly while going to school to build a better future for her family, and now they need her to fight for her life.

Please donate and share this fundraiser. Every dollar counts and helps bring Silvia closer to recovery. Your support gives her the chance to be there for her children. We will continue posting medical updates, and we have attached her official CT scan report in Spanish for full transparency.

Thank you for your kindness, support and prayers.
