Hello, my name is Cecilia Vazquez and I am 7 months now. A few days ago I was diagnosed ALPS syndrome. Alps syndrome is an Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome which is an inherited disorder that the body cannot properly regulate the number of immune system cells (lymphocytes). This has caused my spleen, liver and lymph nodes so grow to the point where they can rupture at any moment. This increases the risks of cancer in the immune system cells or any other cancer.  Autoimmune disorders occur when the immune system malfunctions and attacks the body's own tissues and organs. Most of the autoimmune disorders associated with ALPS target and damage blood cells. This disorder attacks the red blood cells which provide me with the oxygen I need. As of right now I have 72 red blood cells running through my body, the minium of red platelets I should have are at least 140-380.  This causes me to have a huge risk of contracting any infectious viruses or bacterias. I have to stay away from any one who is sick or could be getting sick. Also I am not aloud around a lot of people or aloud to be held certain ways because my belly is ultra sensitive. 
The money raised by this campaign will be to send me to Cincinnati,Ohio where they can run blood test and give me the treatment I need. The reason being is because only in Cincinnati they know about the syndrome I was diagnosed with. Unfortunally the insurance I have now will not cover the test I need. The test I will need cost around $4,500-$5,000, which has to be paid out of pocket in less then 2 weeks, 
We are asking friends, family, or anyone possible to donate any amount of their choosing, at this point we are desperate because without the money or the resources I will not be able to recieve the proper care or treatment that I need. 

Ayer nos dieron un diagnostico sobre el estudio que le estaban realizando. Tengo el síndrome raro llamado "Sindrome Autoinmune Proliferativo( ALPS)" o en ingles Autoimmune Lymphoproliferative Syndrome (ALPS), Este sindrome hace que mi cuerpo no cree los anticuerpos necesarios para combatir infecciones o bacterias. y tengo que tener cuidados extremos siempre, tendre que tomar medicamento por largo tiempo y también por lo tanto estoy mas propensa a contraer enfermedades infecciosas o cáncer, pero por eso tengo que estar en constante chequeo medico.
Si bien ahora la Dra tiene que realizarme un examen en el Estado de Ohio, Cincinnati y el seguro medico que tengo no me cubre los gastos. El costo de este examen es de $ 4.500 a $ 5,000 dolares. Mientras mas pronto consigan el dinero puedo empezar un tratamiento que me ayude a esta mejor. Ahora mi cuerpo no tiene suficiente Globulos rojos, nada mas tengo 72 y lo normal es de 140-380. Los globulos me ayudan combatir cualquier infeccion o algun tipo de cancer.  
Estamos pidiendo ayuda a todos ustedes para que me ayunden a empezar mis tratamientos.
