Help Save a 6-Year-Old Battling Rare Genetic Disorder

Donation protected
Cena Hermus is a brave and loving 6-year-old facing the fight of her life. She has a rare genetic condition called POMC deficiency, along with hypothyroidism, severe obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea. Without treatment, her health will continue to decline, putting her life at risk.

There is hope in a revolutionary medication called Setmelanotide, which could save Cena’s life and allow her to thrive. However, the cost is overwhelming—$400,000 CAD for the first year of treatment. The medication is not covered by Canada’s health programs, and her family cannot afford it alone.

We need your help to give Cena a chance at a healthy, happy life. Your support could provide the life-saving treatment she desperately needs. Every donation matters. Together, we can make this possible. Thank you for helping Cena and giving her the future she deserves.
