Asención Matute is very worried. He is over 60 years old and takes care of the deteriorating health of his 78 and 70 year old brothers. He does it with a lot of sacrifice. sell egg cartons and boxes gaps in the Periferico La Candelaria to be able to complete the necessary money for the medicines.
all three get paid pensionbut that is not enough for him given the high expenses he has in remedies and food.
His older brother, Santos González, suffered a cerebrovascular accident (stroke) in December, as a result of uncontrolled high blood pressure. The result was paralysis in the right hemisphere of the brain, loss of motor strength, right facial paralysis, relaxation of the sphincters, difficulty speaking, in addition to loss of appetite, which has caused severe malnutrition, disorientation, stiffness of the lower limbs, vision blurred and headache.
That is why, over the weeks, he stopped walking and is in bed all day dependent on diapers.
On several occasions, when Asención returns home following work, he meets Santos with a new injury. “I have achieved it with cracks on his forehead because he cannot be alone… Now he is like this, bedridden, he is very ill, he must have only days to live,” he expressed with sadness and resignation.
This has led him to slow down the pace of sales because he hardly goes to the peripheral anymore for fear of what might happen at his house, located on Manaure street in the Impacto neighborhood, in the Miguel Pena Parish of Valencia.
His other brother, Antonio, is 25 years old with arthritis. He can get around in a wheelchair, but the one he has is broken. also requires medicines that, on many occasions, Asención does not have to buy them complete.
“Last night while he was sleeping he fell and woke up on the floor. Now she is in a lot of pain.” He is alone day by day fighting for the health and life of his brothers. He does not count on the help of anyone, so he calls on those who can support with donations for the purchase of medicines, diapers and foodthrough the following bank details:
