Sofia, 9, Faces Brain Damage: Help Now!

Sofia, 9, is running out of time. I’m fundraising for my friend Rhea, whose brave, joyful daughter in Lapu-Lapu, Cebu, Philippines, is battling NMDA Autoimmune Encephalitis. Sofia endures terrifying episodes of kicking and screaming, crying out, “Mommy, will I die?” In fleeting calm moments, she plays, but the chaos returns, leaving her scared. Without urgent treatment, Sofia faces permanent brain damage—or worse. Rhea’s family has spent 278,000 pesos (~4,600 EUR) on Sofia’s care at UCMed, a hospital in Cebu. Now, UCMed requires 450,000 pesos (~7,400 EUR) immediately to continue treatment. They’re out of funds, and time is slipping away. Every second counts to save Sofia’s brain and her future. She’s a fighter who loves drawing and painting, but she needs your help. Please donate now in Euros—even a small amount helps! All funds will go to UCMed for Sofia’s life-saving treatment in Cebu, Philippines. If you can’t donate, share this on Facebook, WhatsApp, or anywhere to reach more hearts. Extra funds will support Sofia’s recovery.

Act now to stop brain damage and save her!
