Bring Emma from Chile to Philadelphia, Surgery
Donation protected
Hi, I am Flavio Rojas, Ph.D. Duke University '91, a resident in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, helping Emma Pascal Claramunt (the little 8 years old at the right side of the photo) to come with her mother to the United States, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, CHOP. She has been admitted already as a patient by a team of doctors to treat her for a very sad genetic condition.
She was born normally but when she was 6 month old, she developed Hydrocephalus. Despite the medical science and surgical procedures in Chile she later developed epilepsy crisis with cognitive implications. Unfortunately medical science in Chile was unable to go any further.
As an educated person, residing and citizen of the United States I decided to help finding the best Hospital and medical professionals for Emma. Turned out to be CHOP; and after translating to English her medical records history she was admitted as a patient by an outstanding team of MD's.
I have accomplished that Global Patient Service was to provide 50% of discount for the Service of $ 51,800 and I am looking for to matching up the remaining amount of $ 25,900.
My Church in Chapel Hill, Fr. Scott McCue recommended GoFundMe to open an account so they could also help.
This situation is rather urgent because epileptic crisis deteriorate her cognitive (learning) functions of her brain. We have little time to fundraise here. This family is of modest means to cover travel expenses and their stay in Philadelphia. We trust all we'll be able to reach Emma's and her mother funding need.
My sincere blessings and beautiful energies to the kind-hearted helping. In the spirit of the Gospel, "whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me." (Matthew 25:40)
