Hi Reddit! My name is Gabriel Beguerie. I’m a teacher from Argentina. For years, I’ve been developing a passion project: a math series called "Mathematics for Normal People." I didn't write these books because of a crisis; I wrote them because I’ve seen too many brilliant people give up on math. Most textbooks skip the "official" steps, leaving students feeling "stupid." My mission was to create a "Zero-Skipped-Step" methodology that shows every single logical bridge, so anyone can regain their confidence. The situation I’m facing now: While I was focused on my teaching and my books, my health collapsed. I’ve been suffering from severe renal colics for the last 30 days. Anyone who has ever had one knows the level of agony—it’s often described as the worst pain a human can feel. I’ve been hospitalized multiple times this month just to manage the pain with IV meds, but it’s only a temporary fix. I urgently need a ureteroscopy. This is a race against time: if I don’t undergo this procedure soon, I risk losing my left kidney due to permanent renal failure. I am in a desperate legal and financial "gray zone" in my country. Having a formal job grants me mandatory health insurance, which disqualifies me from free public hospitals. However, the system has collapsed: my insurance is not paying the doctors, so surgeons are refusing to operate through the plan. It has become a "lottery" I am losing. The only certain way to stop the pain and save my kidney is to pay for the entire surgery upfront in cash. I am currently broke and in debt because of this. My stance on "Charity": I’ve decided to use the work I’ve already built to save my life. I am not here to ask for a GoFundMe or for donations. I don’t want people buying my books out of pity. I want to earn my recovery by providing value. If you—or someone you know—has ever felt "blocked" by math, these books were written for you long before this crisis began. I want to get to the operating room by helping people understand that they are capable of mastering math. https://preview.redd.it/hys004mel0og1.jpg?width=451&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=304206a97dedbfd2c14673286f5ff2a37ce16e04 I have proof of my Amazon author status and my medical situation (hospital records) ready for the moderators. Ask me anything about: The "Zero-Skipped-Step" methodology and why it works. How I’m navigating the healthcare collapse in Argentina. Dealing with chronic pain while trying to maintain a professional life. Rebuilding your math confidence from scratch.
