My name is Carmen, and I want to tell you my story.
In November 2024, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor known as petroclival meningioma, located on the right side of my brain. Since then, I have faced one of the greatest challenges of my life.
Between February and March 2025, I underwent three surgeries. Although the doctors were able to remove part of the tumor, during the surgery, my heart stopped, and my brain experienced severe swelling, which prevented them from fully removing the tumor.
Today, my health is still at risk. I am facing new neurological complications and urgently need another surgery. Unfortunately, the waiting time in the public health system is too long, and this delay could lead to irreversible brain damage.
For this reason, we are seeking care in the private sector. However, the high costs of hospitalization, medical equipment, specialists, and everything necessary for the operation and my recovery completely exceed my family’s resources.
This has been a long road, but I have not lost hope. I want to live, I want to recover my health and move forward. That’s why today I’m asking for your help.
Any donation, no matter how small, is a huge help. And if you can’t donate, I would really appreciate it if you shared this campaign with your loved ones. Your support can change my life.
Thank you for reading, for your solidarity, and for joining me in this fight.
