Hi everyone, my name is Renato, I'm 7 years old. I came to Australia with my parents and my brother. I guess we were just looking for a better future. However, sadly I have recently been diagnosed with Cancer and, from a healthy boy, this came as a huge shock to my family.

I see my mum crying on me but I don't understand much, they just don't know what to do as they are with student visa and my mum is required to be here at hospital with me, which make her imposible to go to study or work. My father has to look after my brother and also look for our living expenses.

As we are not Australian residents we are not entitled to any public medical benefits and my health insurance will only cover minimal medical costs. My parents still have to cover the rest of it as well as school fees to remain on our student visa and be able to receive the treatment.

I'm just seeing this is too much for my parents and I would like to make a call for help to all of you who can assist us with these cost ant try to make them feel better while I fight with this horrible desease.

Any assistance you can provide me, no matter how big or small, will be really appreciated.

Last but no least let me ask you for a big favor. could you please have me and my family in you prayers? We have a lot of faith that we can overcome these together.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Renato.
