Help Ricardo Rebuild His Ear After a Violent Atack
My husband, Ricardo Camargo, was the victim of a violent act on October 9th while leaving home on his way to work. In just seconds, a brutal attack resulted in a severe bite injury that tore off a large portion of the upper cartilage of his left ear, leaving him with a serious wound and deep trauma. During the initial medical care, doctors attempted to reattach the amputated piece, but unfortunately the tissue did not respond as expected and they were unable to save it. To prevent serious infections and further loss, they had to remove all the damaged cartilage. As a result, his ear is now very small and irregularly shaped, making a full reconstruction absolutely necessary. Since then, my husband —a hardworking, responsible, and noble man— has lost many workdays due to pain, wound care, medical appointments, and the emotional impact of his condition. He is the main provider for our home, and this has been very difficult for us, especially because I am pregnant and we need stability during this time. The images you will see below are not easy… But they are necessary. They show the pain, the severity of the attack, and the difficult journey he has been forced to face. Since that day, Ricardo didn’t just lose a piece of his ear: He lost his peace. He lost his confidence. He lost his ability to work. I have watched him struggle with physical pain, emotional shock, and the impact on his dignity. Doctors in Panama confirmed that his case is complex. The type of reconstruction he needs can only be performed by a highly specialized surgeon. After searching for solutions, we contacted an expert reconstructive surgeon in Colombia, well known for her work in trauma-related ear reconstruction. She evaluated him and confirmed that Ricardo needs two surgeries: Medical details and costs: 🔹 First surgery – $10,000.00 Extraction of costal cartilage Carving and construction of a new ear framework Initial implantation under the skin 🔹 Second surgery – $7,000.00 Lifting and defining the ear Refining folds, contour, and projection Total surgical cost: $17,000.00 This does not include travel, lodging, medications, or follow-up care. For our family, this amount is impossible to cover on our own. I am pregnant, and despite doing everything I can, this situation has become emotionally and financially overwhelming. Today, we don’t loose the hope, we are opening our story to the world, hoping for compassion and support. We are not asking for pity. We are asking for a chance: ✨ A chance for Ricardo to see himself without pain again. ✨ A chance for him to return to work with dignity. ✨ A chance for our family to regain stability and peace. Every donation, every dollar, every share brings us closer to that hope. Thank you for taking a moment to look at our photos, for reading our story, and for any help you can offer. May God bless you and multiply your kindness. Sincerely, Yarizel Esta es la realidad que estamos viviendo. Mi esposo, Ricardo Camargo, fue víctima de una agresión física el 9 de octubre cuando salía de casa rumbo a su trabajo. En solo segundos, un ataque brutal le arrancó gran parte del pabellón superior de la oreja izquierda debido a una mordedura, dejándolo con una lesión severa y un trauma profundo. En la atención médica inicial, los doctores intentaron reimplantar el pedazo mutilado, pero lamentablemente el tejido no reaccionó como debía y no pudieron salvarlo. Para evitar infecciones graves y que se perdiera aún más estructura, tuvieron que retirar todo el cartílago afectado. Como consecuencia, su oreja quedó muy pequeña y con una forma irregular, lo que hace indispensable realizar una reconstrucción completa. Desde entonces, mi esposo —un hombre trabajador, responsable y profundamente noble— ha perdido muchos días de trabajo debido al dolor, las curaciones, las citas médicas y la vergüenza que siente por su apariencia actual. Él es el principal sustento del hogar y esta situación ha sido muy difícil para nosotros, especialmente porque yo estoy embarazada y necesitamos estabilidad. Las imágenes que verán a continuación no son fáciles… Pero son necesarias. Son la prueba del dolor, de la gravedad del ataque y del proceso difícil que ha tenido que enfrentar. Desde ese día, Ricardo no solo perdió una parte de su cuerpo: Perdió su tranquilidad. Perdió su seguridad. Perdió la posibilidad de trabajar. He sido testigo de su lucha contra el dolor físico, la angustia emocional y el impacto en su autoestima. Los médicos en Panamá confirmaron que su caso es complejo. La reconstrucción auricular que necesita solo puede realizarla un cirujano con experiencia especializada. Después de buscar opciones, logramos contactar a una cirujana experta en Colombia, reconocida por su trabajo en reconstrucciones auriculares por trauma. Ella evaluó el caso y confirmó que Ricardo necesita dos cirugías: Detalles médicos y costos: 🔹 Primera cirugía – $10,000.00 Extracción de cartílago de su costilla Modelado de la nueva estructura de la oreja Inserción inicial bajo la piel 🔹 Segunda cirugía – $7,000.00 Levantamiento y definición de la oreja Ajustes de pliegues, contorno y proyección Total de cirugías: $17,000.00 Sin incluir gastos de viaje, estadía, medicamentos y controles. Para nuestra familia, esta cantidad es inalcanzable en este momento. Estoy embarazada, y aun así hago todo lo posible para mantenernos firmes, pero esta situación nos ha sobrepasado emocional y económicamente. Hoy no perdemos la esperanza de que podemos salir de este triste y doloroso momento con su ayuda, por lo que abrimos nuestra historia al mundo con la esperanza de recibir una mano amiga. No pedimos lástima. Pedimos una oportunidad: ✨ Una oportunidad para que Ricardo pueda verse nuevamente sin dolor. ✨ Una oportunidad para que pueda volver a trabajar con dignidad. ✨ Una oportunidad para que nuestra familia recupere paz y estabilidad. Cada aporte, cada dólar, cada vez que compartes esta campaña, nos acerca más a esa esperanza. Gracias por ver nuestras fotos, por leer nuestra historia y por cualquier ayuda que puedas brindarnos. Dios te bendiga y multiplique tu bondad. Sinceramente, Yarizel

Lifesaving NICU Care for Baby Kwasi (Sunday Born)
Kwasi's Battle for Life ​On [26-october 2025, we welcomed our precious Sunday-born baby, Kwasi, into the world. It was a day of immeasurable joy that quickly turned into a fight for survival. Kwasi was born extremely premature at 30 weeks / with a critical birth defect / needing immediate respiratory support and was rushed straight to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). ​The images show the reality of his first moments: a tiny fighter, weighing only 3 lbs 10 oz, connected to numerous tubes and monitors, yet holding on with incredible strength. Seeing our little Kwasi hooked up to life support is the hardest moment a parent can face. He is a warrior, but the cost of his specialized care is staggering and threatens to overshadow our hope. ​🙏 Reasons We Need the Money ​Kwasi requires an extended and critical stay in the NICU to stabilize his condition and ensure he can grow strong enough to come home. The financial burden of this specialized care is overwhelming, and we cannot manage it alone. ​We are seeking $70,000 USD to cover the following urgent needs: ​Extended NICU Stay: Funding the daily costs of his bed, continuous monitoring, and the specialized, round-the-clock nursing care he requires. ​Specialized Equipment: Covering the rental and use of essential life-support equipment, including incubators, ventilators, and infusion pumps necessary for his survival. ​Essential Medication & Treatment: Paying for daily critical medications, specialized feeding solutions, blood work, and necessary scans or procedures. ​Neonatology & Surgical Fees: Covering the fees for the highly specialized doctors, neonatologists, and potential surgeons overseeing his critical treatment. ​Post-Discharge Care: Funding necessary follow-up appointments, physical therapy, and specialized medical equipment needed for his transition home. ​🌟 What Your Donation Will Be Used For ​Every dollar you donate directly funds Kwasi's next breath, his next day of care, and his best chance at a healthy future. ​We dream of the day we can finally take our Sunday-born miracle home to begin his life. Please help us lift this impossible financial burden so we can focus solely on Kwasi's fight. Thank you for giving our son the gift of life.
