Pablo suffered from hyperplasia of the prostate gland, a condition that caused him excruciating pain. The drugstores had run out of the painkillers that could provide him some relief. He needed to have surgery, but the family could not afford to pay for the operation. That is why Angélica, Pablo’s wife, decided to catch a plane to the United States. She would work there and try to raise the money they needed.

Pablo padecía una hiperplasia prostática que le provocaba intensos dolores. En las farmacias no conseguía los analgésicos que podían aliviarlo. Debía ser operado, pero la familia no tenía cómo pagar la intervención. Por eso, su esposa Angélica se subió a un avión rumbo a Estados Unidos para trabajar y tratar de reunir el dinero que necesitaban.
