Help Hania fight SMA
Donation protected
My cousin's baby in Poland is fighting SMA. Hania is only 9-months and she was diagnosed with SMA type 1. SMA is a genetic disease characterized by the progressive loss of motor neurons — the nerve cells that control muscle movement. This leads to muscle weakness and atrophy. Infants with SMA type 1 generally have symptoms that include hypotonia (weak muscle tone, especially in the arms and legs), and difficulty moving, eating, breathing, and swallowing. Infants are unable to raise their head or sit unaided. Hania is able to move her arms and legs but has trouble swallowing. We have to act quickly and the only thing that can save her is gene therapy in United States that can be done up until she is 2 years old. Unfortunately it is a very costly procedure and every penny counts. This gene therapy can help Hania sit and walk. If any of you could support my GoFundMe by making this donation and sharing with others I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you have any question I will be happy to answer them.
