May 15 last year was the worst day for Mariano Águila Calderón. His father, a resident of San Pedro de Alcántara (Málaga), had a spectacular motorcycle accident. His prognosis was critical. At the hospital he was put into a coma due to the severity of his injuries. So he was 45 days until he woke up. Mariano has released a campaign on the Gofundme platform to raise money to pay for his father’s rehabilitation.
“Due to the severity of the accident, my father currently has motor and cognitive impairments due to head trauma, fractures T5 and T6 affected the spinal cord, and after being in the hospital for 9 months, he cannot move his legs and arms only partially“, he says on the crowdfunding platform where he has raised more than 28,000 euros so far.
His hope, he says in the text of the campaign, is not exhausted “and that is why we ask you for help.” His father needs a residence where he can recover with the help of psychologists, physiotherapists and speech therapists. “It is very expensive. The center we want to take him to is in Seville, a long way from home, so we cannot come and go, and he needs hospitalization“, recognize.
With the savings they have they can take you for a few months, but your treatment is scheduled for six months at least and do not have the necessary financial means to do so. “Even with the recognized dependency (after more than 6 months of processing), the aid does not arrive and the numbers do not come outMariano lamented.
After 45 days in a coma, Mariano woke up and from that moment things changed. “There were many months of comings and goings. Little by little the changes began. She began to move her arms, to breathe without the need for the machine (due to various problems, they made a tracheotomy where she could breathe) and to respond with her eyes, “says his son.
After spending 3 months in Malaga, he was transferred to the Costa del Sol Hospital where he began to utter a few words and it was in September when he began to recognize his family (he called them by their names). “Thanks to the professionals at both hospitals, today my father can speakhe can move part of his upper joints, and he can eat,” he says.
