The attack
Matheo Bautista Sánchez (14) was shot in the chest this Saturday around 9 in the morning on 1800 Torres Posse street, in the San Francisco neighborhood, right in front of the “Brindar Más” foundation, where he was volunteering.
Lorena and her son arrived on a motorcycle, traveled the distance that separates their neighborhoods, one at each end of the city, to participate in a "solidarity wardrobe", deliver boxes with food to isolated neighbors due to Covid-19 contagion or to help them get medicine.
Matheo received a projectile that damaged a lung, the liver, and lodged near his spine.
Doctors managed to contain the bleeding.
but the severity of the injuries continues to put the boy's life at risk.
“My son got off with a donation bag in his hand and stood on the sidewalk waiting for me because he is a very shy boy, he doesn't even go shopping alone.
He did not want to go in alone.
I don't know where they came from, they surprised me from behind ”, Lorena told

Matheo Sánchez is 14 years old and on Saturday morning he was shot in the chest in a robbery.
His mother, Lorena, asks for "a miracle" for her son.
The robbery sequence lasted only a few seconds.
Two people stopped another motorcycle in parallel to that of the victim, who left the key in place and his backpack hanging from the handlebars to run to protect his son.
As they could not untangle her, one of the robbers pushed the woman and threatened her with his weapon.
"He wanted to protect me"
“The only thing that mattered to me was my son, I was not interested in things.
I wanted to leave, give them everything.
At that he was pulling and was upset by that, he came to grab me.
My son saw that, what does anyone who sees a gun do?
Runs.
But he, no:
he wanted to protect me
.
He threw the bag and came to me, there he threw him in the chest ”, remembers Lorena, who raises her son alone, studies nursing and works caring for the elderly.
At that moment the woman's body was paralyzed: “He threw him as if he had been nothing, like a dog.
They only left when I dropped the phone on the ground, it was all they wanted.
And one thinks, after shooting a baby they are going to escape, but no: they went to rob a corral there, just a block away ”.
When the ambulance arrived, Matheo was still conscious and came to reply:
"Mom, stay calm, I saved you, I defended you
.
"
In an interview with a local news channel, Lorena said that Matheo's dream "is to be a film director", that "he loves superhero movies" and that "he was always a very special boy with a very noble heart."
