Help Laura in her leukemia treatment
Donation protected
Hello, I'm Tatiana Calandra, Laura Campos Calandra's aunt.
This princess is 7 years and 10 months old (going to be 8 on July 15), she is a cheerful, outgoing child, loves to draw and is passionate about her hair.
On the 16th of May, my brother Emiliano Calandra was at the Santo Antônio hospital in Blumenau - SC Brazil because she presented weakness, muscle pain and purple spots on the body, at first characteristic of an acute anemia. After taking a blood test, myelogram (bone marrow test), blood transfusion to increase platelets. The next day we were diagnosed with LEUKEMIA LLA (cancer of the blood and bone marrow that affects white blood cells).
Now with the diagnosis in hand, she starts chemotherapy and daily blood tests. She is being very brave and strong for being on medication for so many days, without having a visit from anyone in the family besides her parents due to the pandemic and also due to the risk of contamination, as a result she will possibly lose her much-loved hair as well.
At the hospital, it is necessary to have a guardian present 24 hours with her, so her mother left work and her father works in the morning and in the afternoon He stays at the hospital to change a companion. Initially, the hospital costs are being paid by SUS, but transportation, time off work, coming and going to the hospital daily, bills that arrive and need to be paid, all of this generates a huge expense and we still don't know how long it will remain. So we ask that if you can help us with the costs that, for the time being we are unable to measure (the treatment can last up to 2 and a half years) does not have an exact value, the amount that you can or want to help will give us hope and strength to to continue in the fight and especially to make Laura’s life a little more comforting.
