This is the story of Andrés, Azahar and their little baby, a family that, in just 40 seconds, lost almost everything because of the terrible earthquake that occurred on June 24 in La Guaira, Venezuela.
When the shaking began, in a desperate attempt to exit their apartment and evacuate the building, Andrés received a strong impact to his head from one of the metal beams that broke loose from the structure due to the violent shaking from the tremor. He fell instantly unconscious to the floor, while Azahar, with superhuman effort, dragged him as best she could with one of her hands, while carrying their little baby in her other arm.
Andrés suffered a cranioencephalic fracture and had to be transferred in the early morning of June 25 to the Central Hospital of Maracay, where he went into surgery to undergo an emergency operation in which a piece of skull that was severely affected by the impact and putting his life at risk had to be removed.
Today, he is resting in Maracay, accompanied by Azahar and little Andrés, while waiting to be admitted again to the operating room so that a titanium implant can be placed in his skull and in this way, he can protect the affected area that is currently vulnerable.
If you wish to help them or support them with any donation, whether in national or foreign currency, you can write to me privately to put you in direct contact with them.
Any contribution you want to make to them, however small it may be, can make a difference for this family that lost almost everything, except hope.
