She spoke with such a stoic demeanor about a condition that could potentially cripple her that I was moved to learn more about her.


I' and m not sure what led me to Yohalis's post, but I landed on her video and heard her speak. Listen to her here



The truth is that I don't know her yet, but she is a true warrior.  If you know what it means to be sick in Venezuela- with little to no resources-, you will understand that every hospital worker and patient is a hero.


I spoke to her mom in Venezuela to ask permission and details about helping them. Through a terrible phone connection, she explained all the medical conditions that her daughter has had since age one- too much to mention!


Yohalis keeps steady in her resolve to get better. She loves Tik Tok and wants to be a doctor, something she knows a lot about!


She is at 15 but looks much younger due to her illnesses that include a bone marrow transplant. Her body is rejecting the external metal piece she currently has. She is determined to get her leg working, preventing an immune reaction that would get her sick, and organizing raffles and her own social media campaign to get $380 for a titanium plate. 


I'm going to help her and 

I hope you feel motivated to help her too!


All details are below:

She is being treated at J.M. De Los Rios


Her doctor for this procedure:

Francisco J Machado his diagnosis is this


Instrumental Quirúrgico Venezolano C.A., the company that provides the titanium piece,  promised a discounted price of $380 here.


Then,  she needs the different appointments to be accepted in surgery:


Pneumonology $35

Cardiology $50

Neurology $20


TOTAL $485
