LIFE-SAVING TREATMENT FOR BRAVE RYU WITH SMA

 
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much”

MEDICAL FLIGHT AND LIFE SAVING TREATMENT FOR BRAVE RYU KOIZUMI SMA TYPE 1 WARRIOR
 
Baby Ryu was diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 (SMA TYPE 1). It is a rare and severe genetic disease that causes muscle weakness and wasting. 

Ryu was already granted an emergency passport and VISA by the US Embassy in the Philippines. His father is an American Citizen and Passport Holder from Los Angeles that's why Ryu was granted an emergency passport and VISA.

Ryu's mother is still processing her VISA.


He may not reach 2 years of age without the treatment because of the progression of his disease. 95% of children with SMA Type 1 die before their 2nd birthday. 

The treatment the he need is called ZOLGENSMA is worth $2.1 million dollars and his medical flight from Philippines to LA Children's Hospital is worth $300,000. 

Even a small donation could help reach the fundraising target. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.

Please help us raise funds for his medical flight and life-saving treatment. Please help Ryu to survive.
