Help little José have a chance at a healthy future!

Donation protected
Since 2021, baby José's story has been marked by immense challenges. He was born with Williams Syndrome, a rare condition that hinders his normal development. Today, at just 3 years old, José still cannot walk or talk and depends on a special diet, as he cannot eat solid foods.

Recently, the doctor warned that José is malnourished and urgently needs feeding through a tube. Each required diet costs R$ 1,000 (200 dollars). Although his mother, Stephany, has secured through the courts the provision of this diet from the government, the actual payment by the State of this amount may take up to three to six months – a time that José does not have.

Additionally, he is facing a urinary tract infection and a superbug (very resistant bacteria), which requires treatment with antibiotics. Stephany, who recently gave birth to another baby, is dealing with hypertension and the pressure of caring for two children – one of whom has special needs.

Exhausted and without financial means, Stephany has turned to family donations to raise the necessary funds for her son’s diet, but it is still not enough. That is why we are here, asking for your help.

Every contribution, no matter how small, is an important step in ensuring that José receives the nutrition and care he desperately needs. Your generosity will help ease the burden on this family during such a challenging time.

Please share this campaign and help José and his family have a real chance at a healthier future. Your support will make an immense difference in the life of this little warrior.

Together, let’s give José the opportunity he deserves! We sincerely thank you for any support you can offer.

*Because GoFundMe Platform does not allow for Brazilian accounts, me and my family, as friends, are helping gather the funds and will transfer the amounts daily to José's family. We will also keep you updated on these transfers through the platform. If you want to make a direct bank transfer to Stephany, just send us a message and we will share the bank detail.
