Dreams ain't never humble. From country kid in Colombia to radiologist in Mexico.
Frank was born into a family that would be called “humble” with a mouth full of euphemisms. He was always a loving and somewhat clumsy son, he would go around making all kinds of wounds when he played. Perhaps because of that relationship with medical emergencies, when he turned 16 and finished school, between becoming a musician and something more traditional, he decided to become a Doctor.
He is the oldest of five siblings and in his teenage mind he understood that being a Doctor would give a boost to a family that, to the outside world, had everything against them. His mother has always been a pragmatic woman. When her firstborn told her he wanted to be a Doctor, she was filled with strength and with her last child still not speaking and her eyes full of tears, she threw herself into the arms of a fate that many women in that small town in the colombian Caribbean are willing to fulfill: dedicate themselves to caring for another family, for the children of another.
Frank managed to become a Doctor in the eyes of a street that today sees him with admiration and affection. His visits to the family are endless consultations and he is willing to serve with a smile even those who doubted his dreams.
In 2023 he decided to continue his training path now as a radiologist in Mexico, for which the stakes have been higher and we need your help. We have been in Mexico since February and although everything has gone better than expected, some expenses such as University tuition are overwhelming us. That is why we turned to this platform, so his dream can come true.

I'm Frank's partner, he doesn't know i am doing this, but it feels right to be done.
