Dear friends and family,
Yesterday, my mom had to undergo emergency surgery due to the infection. She is now recovering in the clinic, where she will remain under careful observation for the next three days in intensive care.
This has been an incredibly difficult journey, but we are holding on to hope and trusting in her strength to get through this. Now, more than ever, we need your help to support her recovery. The medical expenses continue to add up, and any contribution—no matter how small—will make a difference.

Thank you for being here for us. We are deeply grateful for your love and support.
Ayuda Urgente para la Recuperación de Mi Mamá
Queridos amigos y familia,
Ayer, mi mamá tuvo que ser sometida a una cirugía de emergencia debido a la infección. Ahora se encuentra en la clínica, recuperándose, y deberá permanecer en cuidados intensivos por tres días bajo observación.
Este ha sido un camino muy difícil, pero seguimos aferrados a la esperanza y confiando en su fortaleza para salir adelante. Ahora, más que nunca, necesitamos su ayuda para apoyar su recuperación. Los gastos médicos siguen aumentando, y cualquier aporte—por pequeño que sea—hará una gran diferencia.
Desde el fondo de mi corazón, les pido su apoyo en cualquier forma, ya sea con una donación o compartiendo este mensaje. Su cariño, oraciones y generosidad significan el mundo para nosotros y nos dan fuerzas para seguir adelante.
Gracias por estar con nosotros en este momento. Estamos profundamente agradecidos por su amor y apoyo.
A Difficult Turn – We Still Need Your Help
Dear friends and family,
I wish I were writing with better news. Still, after the relief of hearing that no cancerous cells were found, today we received another challenge—my mom needs another surgery due to an infection that has not healed correctly.
We are doing everything we can to ensure she gets the care she needs, but this additional procedure brings new financial strain. We still need $1,600 to cover the costs, and I humbly request your support again.
If you can contribute, even in the smallest way, it would mean the world to us. If you can't donate, please consider sharing our GoFundMe link. Every bit of help, every prayer, and every kind word strengthens us.
Thank you for standing with us through this journey. Your love and generosity give us hope and strength.
With all my heart,
Ybette Inojosa
Un Giro Difícil – Aún Necesitamos Su Ayuda
Queridos amigos y familia,
Ojalá estuviera escribiendo con mejores noticias, pero después del alivio de saber que no encontraron células cancerígenas, hoy nos enfrentamos a otro desafío: mi mamá necesita otra cirugía debido a una infección que no ha sanado correctamente. Esto fue inesperado y, como pueden imaginar, es un golpe muy duro para nosotros.
Estamos haciendo todo lo posible para que reciba la atención que necesita, pero esta nueva cirugía representa una carga económica adicional. Aún necesitamos $1,600 para cubrir los costos, y humildemente les pido su apoyo una vez más.
Si pueden contribuir, aunque sea con una pequeña cantidad, nos ayudaría enormemente. Si no pueden donar, por favor consideren compartir nuestro enlace de GoFundMe. Cada gesto de apoyo, cada oración y cada palabra de aliento nos da fuerza.
Gracias por acompañarnos en este camino. Su amor y generosidad nos llenan de esperanza y fortaleza.
Con todo mi corazón,
Ybette Inojosa
Mi mamá es una mujer fuerte, amorosa y llena de vida. Hoy enfrenta una de las batallas más difíciles: el cáncer de colon. A pesar de la distancia, mi hermana ha estado a su lado en Venezuela, asegurándose de que reciba la mejor atención posible, y ahora mi sobrina viajará desde España para estar con ellas durante la cirugía.
Gracias a su apoyo, hemos encontrado un médico y una clínica más accesibles, pero aún necesitamos cubrir los costos de la operación: hospitalización, médicos, exámenes pre y postoperatorios, biopsia y material quirúrgico. La cirugía ya está programada para el 7 de marzo, y estamos haciendo todo lo posible para reunir los fondos a tiempo.
Cada donación, cada mensaje de apoyo, cada compartida significa más de lo que las palabras pueden expresar. Nos ayudan a sostenernos en este momento tan difícil y a darle a mi mamá la oportunidad de seguir adelante con su vida.
Si puedes ayudar de cualquier manera, te lo agradeceremos infinitamente. Juntos, podemos hacer la diferencia.
A Family’s Strength & Gratitude
Being far from my mom during this time has been one of the hardest things I’ve ever faced. She is an incredibly strong and loving woman, and as she prepares for surgery, I am grateful she is not alone.
My sister has been by her side every step of the way, facing every challenge with so much courage and love. And now, my niece is taking a leave from work in Spain to travel to Venezuela and be there for the surgery. Knowing they will be together gives me some peace, even though the distance remains painful.
The preoperative exams are going well, and we continue to hold onto hope. To everyone who has donated, shared, or sent words of support—thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your kindness means more than I can say.
Please keep my mom in your thoughts as we approach surgery day. Every bit of help makes a difference.
Urgent Help Needed for My Mom’s Surgery
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,
I never imagined I’d be in this position, but I need your help. My mother has been diagnosed with colon cancer and urgently needs surgery. Without it, her condition will worsen, and time is running out.
My niece, who is in Spain, and I are doing everything we can from afar, but it is heartbreaking to be so far away while my mother and family face this battle alone in Venezuela. We feel helpless, and despite our efforts, we simply cannot come up with the $7,000 needed for her surgery.
Healthcare in Venezuela is extremely difficult to access, and without financial help, my mom won’t receive the treatment she needs. She is an incredible woman—kind, selfless, and full of life. She has always given everything for others, and now, she is the one who needs help.
Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. If you are unable to donate, please consider sharing this campaign. Your support means everything to us during this incredibly difficult time.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for your kindness, generosity, and prayers.
