My husband suffered a serious commuting accident. As he was leaving work, his car broke down, and when he got out to check it, he was hit by a driver who was speeding. He became trapped between both vehicles and was hospitalized for five months at the Hospital del Trabajador, fighting for his life. Today, with 85% disability, he has regained some mobility from the torso up and can form short phrases—some clearer than others. It has been a slow, difficult, and very challenging process, but thanks to Achs’s support, we have been able to move forward, little by little.

As his wife—and also as a nursing technician—I have lived this process through love, uncertainty, and hope. That is why we want to recognize Francisca Núñez. Her way of accompanying us has been deeply human: efficient, empathetic, and committed. Every promise she makes, she keeps. Every task she takes on, she carries out with a true vocation for service.

Francisca has been a key part of making this very difficult stage a little more bearable. Her unconditional support has left a profound mark on us as a family.

Thank you, Francisca, for so powerfully representing what it means to care with compassion and dignity. Never change.

Thank you, Francisca, for your exceptional compassion, advocacy, and dedication to your patients. You truly make a difference.
