Doña Charo Recounts Baby Jefferson Farfán Rescue During Villa El Salvador Blackout

Her first-person account on Luis ‘Cuto’ Guadalupe’s YouTube show spotlights the hardship behind the former Peru forward’s upbringing.

Overview

  • Rosario ‘Doña Charo’ Guadalupe said she and seven‑month‑old Jefferson fell into an open pit during a blackout in an invasion area of Villa El Salvador.
  • She recounted throwing the baby out of the hole to save him, then freeing herself and finding him quiet with his eyes open in the darkness.
  • The pit was described as deeper than a meter, and the episode was presented as her personal recollection on La Fe de Cuto.
  • She also recalled using cooking oil at times to soften and comb Jefferson’s tightly curled hair when money was tight.
  • Guadalupe said she worked nights as a dancer yet still took multiple buses with her son from Villa El Salvador to Cantolao for trainings and matches.
