Ella Fighting Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Hello. I am Rafaela Guerreiro and I'm 24 years old.

In December, 2017, I flew back home to Portugal, for Christmas and New Years celebrations. I was living in England, experiencing the life I had dreamed of since I was a teenager. Always wanted to experience life in London for some reason.

On January 2nd, I went to the emergency room in the hospital, ended up being hospitalized, twice, and after a biopsy, it was confirmed that I have got Hodgkin's Lymphoma, which is blood cancer.

I am currently in my second session of ABVD chemoteraphy, of the first cycle. I've just started ...

Unfortunately, due to my illness, I had to leave London and, consequently, my job. I am fortunate that we do not pay for the treatment itself in my country, but there are still meds expenses and personal expenses that I am now unable to personally pay for, as my savings has run out.

I am not able to look for a job for the next few months and I am now staying in my parents home, which leaves them responsible to pay for all my expenses. Although, it pains me to give them such responsibility, especially considering that my mother is unemployed and my father is the only person working for 4 people - me, them and my 9 years old sister.

I would kindly like to ask for your help. Any little amount helps and I would deeply appreciate it.

If you have any question regarding my gofundme please contact me.

I will keep everyone updated.
Thank you so much.

All my love,
Rafaela Guerreiro
