Help Allison Cisneros battle cancer.

Donation protected
I am Diana Mendez, and I am the mother and caregiver of Allison Cisneros, a beautiful 8 year old girl. On September 19th, 2021, my daughter and I came from Panama City, Panama to Miami, Florida, for a better chance to overcome her illness. She was diagnosed for the first time with leukemia type B, in December of 2020. Shorty after, Allison started chemotherapy treatments at El Hospital del Nino in Panama, but the treatment wasn't successful, and her health was starting to get worse. After her father had passed away in a horrible car crash, I decided to leave my family behind to get her and myself a visa, to come here and get second opinion and in hopes for a better and more successful treatment. On October 4th, 2021, we were still staying at the Holiday Inn, when Allison was rushed to Holtz Children's Hospital after suffering unbearable pains in her joints. After several studies and a biopsy, I was informed that my daughter has 90% of cancerous cells in her bone marrow, and chemotherapy was no longer a working option. The only treatment able to save her life is a bone marrow transplant, that is estimated to cost $500,000. Her doctors at Holtz Children's Hospital referred her to St. Jude's Children's Hospital, but she was denied because they did not have an open clinical trial to help her. My last option is to get the bone marrow transplant at the hospital I am currently at, but because she does not have medical insurance, nor a legal status in the United States, I will have to pay out of my own pocket, which is money I do not have. Allison deserves to be the kind, active, sweet little girl she was before getting this life-threating illness. She loved to play with her little sister Mayra, going to school and learning with her all her friends and all the other things an 8 year old girl loves to do. As a mother of a sick child, I am begging for your help to give my daughter, Allison a chance to live. Anything will help and is very appreciated. Thank you and god bless you all.
