My father is tragically living with the affects of Leukaemia but thankfully have the backing of a good public health system.

Baby Ryzy is a 1yo girl who isn’t as lucky.  Last year she was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and underwent 4 gruelling rounds of intensive chemo (which almost killed her) but did put her into remission. Unfortunately it’s back and due to the subtype of Leukaemia the only way to stop it coming back is for a bone marrow transplant. 

Without a bone marrow transplant Ryzy’s chance to survive is minimal and would require regular/ ongoing chemo which lets be honest, she wouldn’t survive. This transplant isn’t covered by her health fund (philhealth).

The treatment is out there and is standard here in Australia and also the Uk (my mother land) but unfortunately not in the Philippines. This young family who I have got to know will never be able to get the funds without help. Baby Ryzys parents are currently jobless due to the pandemic and doing/selling what ever they can to raise funds.

The young family have raised $8k alone but need help!!

This baby deserves a chance at a chemo free life. ANY amount is greatly appreciated! The entire treatment costs 4-5 millions Philippine pesos ($120k) 

We have set up a UK go fund me page if you prefer to donate in GBP https://gofund.me/a5eb2955 Any size donation to either page is GREATLY appreciated! 

I am wanting to try and raise $26k to start the transplant process off and find a match for Ryzy. They currently have $8k raised/saved. 

100% of the money raised will go to Ryzys parents, directly towards medical bills and hopefully if enough money is raised to cover the cost of the transplant she desperately needs!

Together let’s save this baby’s life! Much love, Jo (Mum of two, nurse, living in Brisbane).
