AIUTIAMO Lorenzo - HELP for LORENZO

Donation protected
Abbiamo BISOGNO di voi, di ognuno di voi.

Lorenzo ha solo 37 anni e da tre combatte una battaglia contro un tumore rarissimo, il sarcoma epitelioide prossimale.
Dopo 3 grossi interventi chirurgici, 4 cicli di chemioterapia, 63 sedute di radioterapia e tante cure alle quali si è sottoposto, il tumore, essendo il più aggressivo e recidivante è ancora lì ed in continua crescita.

L’unica speranza per lui, di crescere il suo bambino di soli 2 anni insieme a sua moglie Costanza, è un farmaco americano che purtroppo il nostro servizio sanitario nazionale non passa in quanto non ancora approvato..i costi per acquistarlo, e per le cure, come immaginerete, sono elevatissimi.

Lorenzo da due mesi giace in un letto di ospedale, semi paralizzato, sfinito anche mentalmente da un male che lo divora, solo… in un momento dove l’emergenza sanitaria isola anche chi avrebbe bisogno di assistenza specifica o anche di una carezza, un bacio, una parola di conforto.

Abbiamo bisogno dell’aiuto di tutti, del VOSTRO AIUTO, perché anche un piccolo gesto può servire a trovare le risorse necessarie per il nostro obiettivo… riportare Lorenzo alla vita, a suo figlio, a sua moglie che combatte senza tregua per lui da tre anni.

AIUTIAMO LORENZO a tornare con noi, a vivere e a giocare con il suo bambino.
Grazie.


---------------------------------

I am requesting your help, the help of each one of you.

Lorenzo is a dear friend, 37 years' old, a baby son aged two, and his wife, Costanza.
Since about two years, Lorenzo is fighting against a rather rare and aggressive tumor called Proximal Epithelioid sarcoma, which is a rare sarcoma of the same category than the Soft Tissue Sarcoma, and which is found in younger adults, i.e. in their thirty.

In 2018, he had to undergo his first important surgery at the Rizzoli hospital in Bologna.  After that, they performed three biopsies, three cycles of chemo therapy and 63 sessions of radio therapy.

The tumor is still present and is of course slowly killing Lorenzo.

There is one hope:

In January 2020, The American Food and Drug Administration has approved a medicine which seems to give extremely positive results for this type of tumor.

In Italy, the medicine is at a testing level. 

Unhappily, Lorenzo has not been admitted to the trial.
 
His wife, Costanza, and his friends did not give up and after reaching to doctors all over the world (unhappily Lorenzo could not undergo a long trip), we found an Italian clinic which is willing to administer the medicine to Lorenzo.

The point is that the medicine has to be imported, and that the treatment price is about 20,000 Euros per month.  Lorenzo will need from 4 to 6 months therapy, and the family is unable to put together that amount.

Please help us!  By giving a small contribution, each one of us can give some hope to Lorenzo, his wife and their baby.
