: Urgent Help for Alexia: Therapy, Surgeries, and a Futu

Donation protected
Hello, my name is Robert Ramírez Méndez, father of Alexia del Carmen Ramírez Villalobos, a 9-year-old girl from Costa Rica who was born with a severe disability (spina bifida) and has been fighting enormous health challenges since birth.

In 2019, by order of the Costa Rican Child Protection Agency (PANI), Alexia was placed in a shelter called "Fundación Manos Abiertas." Unfortunately, during her stay, she suffered mistreatment and serious physical injuries, including a head wound that required stitches and hospitalization in critical condition at the National Children's Hospital.

After nearly 5 years of legal and administrative struggle, I was finally able to bring Alexia back home on May 30, 2025. However, her physical and emotional health has been deeply affected.

(Hola, soy Robert Ramírez Méndez, padre de Alexia del Carmen Ramírez Villalobos, una niña costarricense de 9 años con una condición severa de discapacidad (espina bífida) que ha luchado desde su nacimiento contra enormes desafíos de salud.

En 2019, por decisión del PANI (autoridad estatal de protección de la niñez), Alexia fue internada en un albergue llamado "Fundación Manos Abiertas" en Costa Rica, donde lamentablemente sufrió malos tratos y lesiones físicas graves, entre ellas una herida en la cabeza que requirió sutura y hospitalización en estado crítico en el Hospital Nacional de Niños.

Después de casi 5 años de lucha legal y administrativa, logré que Alexia fuera restituida a mi cuidado el 30 de mayo de 2025, pero su salud física y emocional ha quedado profundamente afectada.)
