Bitcoin Smiles Story: Jesús. Read his story on Bitcoin Smiles and help us to raise more funds for free dental care

He has an old pickup in which he offers transport service to the mountain with
the help of his son. Fourteen years ago he survived a closed-range attack on him. As a result of the attack, Jesús was in a coma for several months in the hospital but he miraculously survived.

Because of his disability, he has been limited in his work. He has spent more than ten years with problems in his mouth due to the lack of most of his teeth.
