The life of Juan Diego, a little “warrior” of just 4 years old who has lived with a disability since birth, currently depends on citizen solidarity. Since early today, the minor has not been able to receive any type of food because his gastrostomy button was damaged, a critical situation given that he also suffers from hypoglycemia.

A wait that puts your health at risk

Although the child has already been transferred to a healthcare center and his EPS issued authorization for the new device, the medical response has left the family in distress: the equipment will not be available until Friday due to the lack of the required size in the current inventory. For a child with his condition, waiting two days without receiving nutrients is a risk that his body cannot take.

How to help?

Juan Diego’s family makes a desperate call to the community, foundations or people who may have the device or the means to obtain it immediately.

Technical reference: FR 16 x 1.5 gastrostomy button.

Direct contact: 300 163 85 99 (Ruth, mother of Juan Diego).

Any donation or information that allows this medical supply to be obtained before Friday will be vital to stabilize the minor’s health and allow him to eat normally again.
