¡Hola! Me gustaría que conozcas a mi tío Reinaldo, un ángel viviente. Desde su nacimiento en 1959, debido a negligencia médica, mi tío sufre de parálisis cerebral con cuadraplegia espástica, ha vivido toda su vida entre su silla de ruedas y su cama, completamente dependiente, requiriendo atención personalizada para satisfacer sus necesidades básicas como comer, sentarse, acostarse y baño. Mi abuela lo cuidó todo el tiempo que pudo, pero murió el año pasado, por lo que mi madre, su hermana, desinteresadamente lo está cuidando. En Venezuela, la situación económica es terrible y transportar a mi tío es prácticamente imposible ya que necesitamos un vehículo especialmente adaptado para una persona en su condición. Debido a esto, mi madre vive encarcelada en su propia casa, totalmente dedicada a hacer que su hermano tenga una vida decente, feliz y placentera, por supuesto con las limitaciones que implica la seriedad del caso. La idea es que con la ayuda de todos ustedes, por muy poco que parezca a primera vista, podamos comprarle a mi tío un vehículo adecuado, como una camioneta con el mecanismo para que Rey entre y salga fácilmente, y hacer su transporte más facil. Considero necesario enfatizar que mi tío nunca recibió ayuda de ningún gobierno en mi país, ni antes, ni ahora, y realmente dudo que los gobiernos que vendrán en el futuro serán diferentes. Otro hecho para hacer especial hincapié es que no hay servicios de transporte público o privado para personas con discapacidades, que es normal en cualquier país desarrollado. Estamos agradecidos de que existan iniciativas como Indiegogo y pensar que hay personas en el mundo dispuestas a tender una mano a los necesitados es alentador. Para obtener información adicional, evidencia e informes médicos, no dude en contactarnos. Los amo y quiero lo mejor para el resto de sus vidas. Gracias de antemano por su atención a esta historia, estaremos eternamente agradecidos.

Hi! I would like you to meet my uncle Reinaldo, a living angel. Since his birth in 1959, due to medical malpractice, my uncle suffers from spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy type, he has lived a life within a wheel chair and his bed, completely and utterly dependent, requiring personalized attention to meet his basic needs like eat, lie down, sit and bathe. My grandma took care of him for as long as she could, but she died last year, so my mother who is also his sister, selflessly is taking care of him. In Venezuela, the economic situation is terrible and also carrying my uncle is practically impossible as we need a vehicle specially adapted  for a person in his condition. Because of this, my mom lives imprisoned in her own home, fully dedicated to make her brother have a decent, happy and pleasant life, of course with the limitations that implies the seriousness of the case. The idea is that with the help of all of you, as little as it might seem at first glance, we can get my uncle a proper vehicle, such as a van with the mechanism to get Reinaldo in and out easily, and make his transportation more confortably.  I consider it necessary to emphasize that my uncle has never received any help from any government in my country, neither before, nor now and I really doubt that governments to come in the future will be any different. Other fact to make special emphasis is that there are no private or public transportation services for people with disabilities as it is normal in any developed country. We are grateful that initiatives as Indiegogo exist and to think that there are people in the world willing to extend a hand to those in need is encouraging. For additional information, evidence and medical reports do not hesitate to contact us. I love them and want the best for the rest of their lives.

​Thanks in advance for your attention to this story, we shall be forever grateful.
