Saydi's Journey

Narcy Garcia is organizing this fundraiser.

Donation protected

On November 28th, we took Saydi to the hospital for what we thought was a cold. To our unfortunate surprise, the doctors told us she had a tumor on her kidney and she underwent surgery to get it removed. After her surgery, it was discovered that it had spread and she was diagnosed with Sarcoma, an aggressive cancer that only 2 out of every 3 children survive. The doctors advised us that she would have to undergo 33 sessions of chemo throughout the spand of a year. Each session can last anywhere between 1 to 6 days.

Saydi is now on her 5th treatment. She is only 4 years old and will be turning 5 on March 30th. She is a wonderful little girl who brings so much joy to our lives and it has been a heartbreak to see her and her family go through this. Before she was diagnosed, money had already been stretched thin to make ends meet for her parents. Now that there are frequent doctor visits, her dad has had to miss time off of work to be able to take Saydi and her mom. Because this is such an aggressive cancer, the doctors have asked us to try and fulfill as many of Saydi's wishes that we can. This can be as simple as getting her favorite meal because her appetite comes and goes.

With your donation, you would be helping us do just that. Make the time that we have with Saydi as great as we possibly can. With something this unexpected, as you understand we are asking for anything you can give. If you cannot donate at this time, please say a prayer for Saydi and her family. We appreciate all of the help in advance, may God bless you today and always.

Thank you!

El 28 de Noviembre, llevamos a Saydi al hospital para lo que pensábamos que era un resfriado. Para nuestra desafortunada sorpresa, los doctores nos dijeron que tenía un tumor en su riñón y tuvo una cirugía para quitarlo. Después de su cirugía, se descubrió que se había diseminado el tumor y le dijieron que tenia Sarcoma, un cáncer agresivo que sólo 2 de cada 3 niños sobreviven. Los médicos nos avisaron que tendría que hacer 33 sesiones de quimioterapia durante de un año. Cada sesión puede durar entre 1 y 6 días.

Saydi está ahora en su quinto tratamiento. Ella sólo tiene 4 años y cumplirá 5 años el 30 de Marzo. Ella es una niña maravillosa que nos trae tanta alegría a nuestras vidas y ha sido muy dificil ver a ella y a su familia pasar por esto. Antes de que ella fuera diagnosticada, el dinero ya había sido estirado delgado para llegar a fin de mes para sus padres. Ahora que hay visitas frecuentes al médico, su padre ha tenido que faltar al trabajo para poder llevar a Saydi y a su mamá a las citas. Como se trata de un cáncer tan agresivo, los doctores nos han pedido que intentemos cumplir con todos los deseos de Saydi que podamos. Esto puede ser tan simple como conseguir su comida favorita porque su apetito viene y va.

Con su donación, nos ayudaría a hacer precisamente eso. Hacer que el tiempo que tenemos con Saydi lo mas especial que sea posible. Con algo tan inesperado, como pueden entender, estamos pidiendo cualquier cosa que usted puede dar. Si no puede donar en este momento, por favor diga una oración por Saydi y su familia. Apreciamos toda la ayuda y pedimos que Dios los bendiga hoy y siempre.

Gracias!
