Donation protected
My name is Jessica I have started this account for my sister in law April delrosal daughter. Melynda was born with a rare condition. Everyday was a fighting battle for her. She was a fighter from the very beginning. 10 month old Melynda has been in and out of children hospital of Philadelphia. She was revived countless times. She fought so hard. She was strong, brave, and fierce Melynda didnt let her condition knock her spirits. She was a happy baby and loved by many. Melynda passed away in her sleep. Surviving is her mother April delrosal, her father jhonny delrosal, a brother aaron delrosal (7) and two sister Mia (6)and Natalia delrosal (3). Her family is reaching out to you in hopes to raise enough money for funeral and burial cost. Rest in peace angel you are forever in our hearts and will forever be missed. We love you baby girl.

Melynda  was born with cpt2 deficiency leathal neonatal form. cpt2 is an autosomal recessively inherited genetic metabolic disorder characterized by an enzymatic defect that prevents long-chain fatty acids from being transported into the mitochondria for utilization as an energy source.
The lethal neonatal form of CPT II deficiency is the most severe form of the disease. Symptoms begin within days of birth and include liver failure, respiratory failure, a weakened and/or inflamed heart, irregular heartbeat leading to heart attack, kidney disease, and brain abnormalities. Usually these infants die within the first year of life. Melinda passed away in her sleep March 24 2017. She did not suffer and her body is now at peace and her family would appreciate and be forever thankful for all donations to help with expense of funeral and burial. Help us let her rest in peace
