AME Antônio

Donation protected
Antônio Canuso da Conceição (Nino) was diagnosed with SMA(Spinal Muscular Atrophy), a rare syndrome, progressive and degenerative neuromuscular pathology. The disease is characterized by loss of movement and problems in the respiratory system.
Who has Spinal Muscular Atrophy comes to be called, in scientific studies, "cloth doll", for not sustaining the body itself.

It is a fatal disease, however there is a medication called Spiranza. This medication paralyzes the progression of the disease.
The cost of the medication per dose is R$364,565.98 (about $105k) and the total in the first year of treatment reaches R$ 2,187,395.88 (about $560k).

The family is trying to get this medication judicially in Brazil, but it is a time consuming and not a guaranteed process. To advance the treatment, and give hope to Nino, his parents needs to raise funds to at least give him the first dose. If applied before 7 months the results will be greater.

Let's help save Antonio's life !!

I’m Nino’s cousin who lives far away from him (I’m in Hawaii, he and his family are in Brasil). Starting this campaign is the way I found to help them from a distance.
All the funds raised will be wired transferred to his parents’s bank account in Brazil, as soon as possible, to help them pay for the medication (Spiranza).

All your help will certainly changes Nino’s Life!

O Antônio Canuso da Conceicao (Nino) foi diagnosticado com AME (Atrofia Muscular Espinhal), uma síndrome rara, patologia neuromuscular progressiva e degenerativa. A doença tem como característica a perda dos movimentos e problemas no sistema respiratório.
Quem tem Atrofia Muscular Espinhal chega a ser chamado, em estudos científicos, de "boneco de pano", por não  sustentar o próprio corpo. 

 
É uma doença fatal, entretanto existe uma medicação chamada Spiranza. Essa medicação paralisa o avanço da doença.
O custo dose da medicação é de R$ 364.565,98. E o total no primeiro ano de tratamento chega a R$2.187.395,88.
A família está tentando conseguir essa medicação por via judicial no Brasil, mas é um processo demorado e sem garantias. Para adiantar o tratamento, e dar esperanças ao Nino, a família precisa arrecadar fundos para pelo menos dar a ele a primeira dose. Pois se aplicada antes dos 7 meses o resultado será muito melhor.

Vamos ajudar a salvar a vida do Antônio!!
