La lucha y recuperación de Will tras sufrir un trágico accidente

Aunque no puede relatar con su propia voz los retos que enfrentó y la lucha diaria que vive, la sonrisa y mirada alegre de José Will Villanueva Coto, cariñosamente conocido como “Willito”, son testimonio de una historia de milagros, solidaridad y perseverancia.

Willito, quien vive con su madre Norma Aracely Coto en una pequeña casa sin acceso a agua ni energía eléctrica en la comunidad de Contamal, San Juan de Opoa, sufrió un trágico accidente el 24 de marzo de 2021.

Después de una jornada de recolección de café, cayó desde el segundo piso de una casa, resultando en una fractura de cráneo que lo dejó postrado en cama y conectado a un respirador.

La vida de Willito cambió cuando el doctor Roberto Álvarez del Programa de Neurocirugía de Fundación CAMO Honduras intervino.

Tras una segunda cirugía cerebral, José Will recobró la movilidad y, con terapia, logró caminar de nuevo.

A pesar de las secuelas en su movilidad y habla, su fuerza y determinación son evidentes.

Con el apoyo de Fundación CAMO, Willito sigue superándose.

A sus 16 años, recibe asistencia en nutrición a través del proyecto de Comida Farmacia, lo que le permite acceder a raciones para él y su familia.

Continúa aprendiendo a leer, desarrollando sus habilidades artísticas y académicas, y enfrentando cada obstáculo.
