WHY “MILAGRO”?
Milagro is our mother. She has been confined to bed for over 25 years. What seven very active children didn’t manage to do, multiple sclerosis did in less than two years. Throughout all this time, our father has been at her side. “D’you see how beautiful your mother’s looking today?”
This is how they spend one day after another: together, playing jokes, doing what they have done all their lives: caring for each other.
The name Milagro means “miracle”. She has been bonding and taking care of the whole family for over 60 years. In the first stage of her life, she did it by taking care of everyone, and now she does it by letting herself be taken care of.
Thanks to her, we have discovered that illness, dependency and need can be a light for the family, not darkness.
DON’T YOU THINK THAT’S A REAL MIRACLE?
OBJETIVES
To make the reality of dependency more visible through our own experience and that of thousands of others who, like us, have a sick person at home. Especially to give visibility to chronic diseases like multiple sclerosis.
To create a support network, a community where everyone can seek advice, share experiences, or ask questions; ask for human support, financial support, or guidance through the bureaucracy.
To develop and disseminate "training pills" aimed at care for the caregiver and the best care for their sick.
To organize events where we meet and share. And above all, where you can have fun and learn. Part of the money raised will be spent on setting up and organizing the Association, and part of it will be invested in organizing upcoming events, in "training pills" and in the creation of a scholarship fund.
