[image]Some years ago. In the restaurant El Vigia I met the waiter Sylvestre. He was a nice gentleman., who cared about his work. It showed, he certainly impressed upon me. Covid hit, and like a lotta people he lost his job, and unfortunately it didn’t come back. He has been out on the street selling handicrafts his wife and kids makes ever since. This bad luck story gets worse, he has been suffering from inflammation everywhere in his body and the doctors have just told him he needs a heart transplant. Like always he never cared about himself, and asked that I contribute some money to his wife. I know none of you likely know or care about Sylvestre. But on the outside chance that one person makes a donation, it will make a difference. I will post photos once can figure out how.

Interesting. Is that a Covid-related myocarditis? Sarcoidosis? Amyloidosis?

I have the information. I have sent it out to friends and the foodbank in zihua. I’m sorry I can’t understand the photo uploading or directing so it likely doesn’t go anywhere, his wife has received some donations. I assume he will be gone before the weeks end.

My wife and I have known Sylvestre for several years due to our yearly stays at Real de la Palma. He was indeed one of our favorite people, always going the extra mile to accommodate. I am very sorry to hear about his misfortune. If you get anymore info, let us know.

My wife and I first met Sylvestre in 2008 at Real dela Palma. He was a great waiter/bartender with a quick wit and awesome english skill. When we would arrive he would point out my "private Mezcal that he had for me. Yes when Covid hit he and almost everyone there lost there jobs. He and his wife had many heath issues and we helped him financially for a few years. This latest seams to be his worst and we are hoping he can turn it around, I had his contact info and used Western Union to get cash to him.
