Camila’s Road to Fight Leukemia & A-T

Dear Family and Friends,

On December 31, 2016 our world was blessed with a 3rd child, a beautiful girl Camila. She has the dimples that make you want to smile and big glossy brown eyes that will brighten your day. She loves to go to school and loves to play with her sisters, cousins and friends.

July 1, 2022, was the worst day of our lives as we learned that Camila was diagnosed with Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a genetic disease that causes muscle control and balance loss, cancer, lung disease and immune system problems in children and young adults, shortening their lives. The average life expectancy for children living with A-T is the late teens to early 20s. Camila will progressively deteriorate and could end up in a wheelchair by the age of 10.

About one month later, on August 2nd, we discovered Camila has leukemia. The cancer has already begun to spread quickly causing her to start her chemotherapy just two days after we received the news.

While chemotherapy is our hope to cure Camila of leukemia, there’s currently no cure for A-T. Because of its extreme rarity, there are only about 500-600 confirmed cases of people with A-T in the United States.

It has been incredibly hard for our family. From the beginning, we’ve only strived to provide the best for our little girl, and we only hope to continue doing so in the best way possible. With your help, we’d be able to cover upcoming medical bills, equipment, and other things needed to help Camila fight this battle. We truly appreciate all the help we’ve received so far, and we could not do this without all of you.

Thank you so much in advance for your donations and continued support.
