Hello all, my name is Eloísa Danao & I am Tito’s mom. As some of you know Tito was born with a rare case of Hemophilia (Factor 7). What we later found out do to many seizures days after he was born was that he had his first bleeding in his brain going through the birth canal. Factor VII (7) deficiency is an inherited bleeding disorder caused when a person's body does not produce enough of a protein in the blood that helps blood clot or the factor VII doesn't work properly. The disorder is rare, affecting one in 500,000 people.
The bleeding in his brain has also caused some permanent brain damage . It took Tito many years of hospital visits and all types of therapy to learn everyday functions & activities. It ended up slowing down his mental state. Tito has been using this medication all of his life to help him with his deficiency. Without the medicine his seizures can also come back. 1 month of medication cost 25,000 dollars. It may be a huge number to look at and also it's only 1 months worth. We won’t be discouraged by any of these factors because we will keep faith and be strong. Right now we just ask for some help from all of you. Anything helps us in this time of need. Thank you for any contributions, stay strong and God bless.
