A few months after the tragic plane crash in Colombia that left 71 dead, including much of the roster of players for the Brazilian soccer team Chapecoense, a difficult situation strikes one of the six survivors, the Bolivian stewardess Ximena Suárez.

The young woman has started a campaign to ask for funds due to the extreme situation in which she finds herself. "I am Ximena Suárez Otterburg, survivor of the LAMIA accident in Colombia, I am 28 years old, I was born in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, I am a single mother of two children, one 6 and the other 2 years old, whom I support", begins the story of the young woman on a page on the Internet that is dedicated to obtaining donations.

"As a result of this (the accident) I will not be able to work momentarily due to physical and psychological problems, unfortunately at this time I cannot stop or sit due to spinal and foot problems, the reason why I am asking for this collaboration," he continues.

He also confessed that although a local insurance company covered his medical expenses, he has not yet received any compensation, nor has he collected the five months of wages owed to him, which is making it very difficult to maintain the expenses of his home.

The criticism towards the young woman for asking for help was not long in manifesting, something to which the stewardess has responded quite disappointed in a message through her Facebook profile. "I want to make public my sadness and disappointment for those hundreds of Bolivian compatriots of mine, who have insisted on attacking me," he writes.

Ximena lived in the first person the nightmare of the accident of a LaMia plane that fell silent near Medellín, on November 29, 2016 and left lifeless, among other victims, Chapecoense players, club officials and journalists who would cover the game.
