Tavo´s heart needs us!!

Donation protected
El pasado jueves, 22 de septiembre, Tavo se dirigía, en el tren, a su trabajo en Australia (País al que llegó, buscando nuevos sueños, hace 3 meses). Durante el trayecto, sufrió un infarto y algunas personas corrieron a auxiliarlo mientras lograban llegar a la estación más cercana, entre ellas Alanah, una joven de 18 años que le estuvo brindando los primeros auxilios hasta la llegada de la ambulancia. Tardó una hora para que el corazón de Tavo pudiese reaccionar de nuevo, lo cual le generó problemas de irrigación sanguínea, que afectó, principalmente, su cerebro, pulmones, hígado y ambos riñones. En el hospital fue sedado y entubado. Los médicos esperaban lo peor.

Toda la familia, amigos y conocidos nos unimos en oración pidiendo por un milagro.

El fin de semana, empezaron a retirar, poco a poco, la sedación para poder evaluar sus órganos.
Ya puede respirar por sí solo y come de a poquitos, presenta movimientos lentos, aún con dificultad para moverse y con un cansancio que siempre lo acompaña.

En este momento, sus riñones no han podido recuperarse , por lo que se encuentra en tratamiento con Diálisis.

Se espera que el próximo 4 de octubre se le realice un stent cardíaco.

Tavo es padre de un niño de casi 14 años, que aunque no vive con él, siempre ha estado a cargo de sus gastos. Hasta tiene la intención de llevarlo a vivir a Australia.

Por el poco tiempo que lleva en su nuevo país de residencia, el seguro de salud no cubre en la totalidad sus gastos médicos, los cuales se van incrementando día a día.

Sabemos que su amor por el deporte y su compromiso por el mismo, durante toda su vida, le ayudará a superar todas estas adversidades, pero necesita estar tranquilo en el aspecto económico.

Actualmente, su hermano, mellizo, se está haciendo cargo de sus gastos, pero él también tiene los propios.

Su pareja, Diana, está a su lado todo el día, para darle bienestar psicológico.
Son varios meses los que Tavo tendrá que pasar en rehabilitación y no podrá trabajar.

Por tanto, cualquier ayuda será de gran alivio para él y su familia. Muchas gracias.

Tavo's heart needs us.
Last Thursday, September 22, Tavo was on his way to work in Australia on the train (Where he just moved, 3 months ago to pursue his dreams). During the journey, he suffered a heart attack, and some people ran to help him while they managed to get to the nearest station, including Alanah, an 18-year-old young lady who performed CPR until the arrival of the ambulance. It took an hour for Tavo's heart to react again, which caused blood supply problems, which affected his brain, lungs, liver, and both kidneys. At the hospital he was sedated and intubated. The doctors expected the worst.
In the meantime, all his family, friends, and acquaintances joined in prayer asking for a miracle.
Over the weekend, doctors began to gradually withdraw the sedation so they could assess his organs. He can now breathe on his own, eat small bites, and can perform slow movements, but still has with difficulty moving, and is always fatigued.
At this moment, his kidneys have not been able to recover, so he is undergoing dialysis treatment.
He is also expected to receive a heart stent procedure on October 4th.
Tavo is the father of an almost 14-year-old boy who, although is not currently living with him, has always been responsible for his expenses. He even intends to bring his son to live in Australia with him, in the near future.
Due to the short time that he’s been in Australia, his new country of residence, health insurance doesn’t fully cover his medical expenses, which are increasing daily.
We are confident that his love for sports and his commitment to them throughout his life, will help him overcome all these adversities, but he also needs to have peace of mind in the financial sense.
Currently, his twin brother, is taking care of all of his expenses, but he also has his own personal responsibilities.
His partner, Diana, is by his side all day, to support him emotionally and psychologically.
Tavo will have to spend several months in rehabilitation and won’t be able to work during this time. Therefore, any help will be of great relief to him and his family.

Thank you very much.
