Why Read This Book

This book was not written from the summit, but from the depths of a shared struggle. It was born not of triumph, but of resilience, and every word carries the weight of lived experience, silence endured, and dignity defended.

It is a tribute-not to an individual-but to a collective act of courage.

• To the workers of Latin American Wings, who stayed when there was no salary, no safety, and no certainty. They became the crew of hope, keeping the dream airborne through sheer will and shared conviction.
• To the legal minds, technicians, administrators, and operational souls who gave their time not for profit, but for purpose.
• To those who reminded us that memory is resistance, and that silence must never win.

This book is also a testimony of intimate loyalties:

• To family, the true and unwavering capital in times of collapse.
• To companions who walked beside me-not out of convenience, but because of belief.
• To those who demanded accountability, even when it hurt.

And yes-this book honors the disappointments too.

• To those who betrayed, excluded, and discredited: you sharpened the edge of this narrative. Your actions gave clarity to what truly matters-integrity over applause, conscience over convenience.

Finally, to you, the reader: thank you. Thank you for daring to open these pages. Because in doing so, you're not just reading a history-you're recognizing the value of standing when others fall, of leading without titles, and of dreaming with your feet on the ground.

This book is for those who still believe that even in failure, there is something worth rescuing.
