Cover medical bills and medical procedures

Hi, my name is Julia Micaj. This GoFund me page is for my little niece, 9 year old Lea, who was diagnosed with Stage 3 brain tumour, November 9, 2023 in Tirana, Albania.

Lea is in grade 4, she is sweet, funny, energetic, and full of life. She likes to play piano and read to her little brother John. She is full of ambition, optimistic and eager to fight this.

Lea was quickly admitted to the hospital in Tirana, Albania and went through brain surgery the following day. Although the doctors were able to remove some of the tumor, she requires additional surgeries and treatments. It has been 7 days since her 1st surgery and she now needs a Molecular Biopsy, for which a test facility does not exist in Albania.

The family is scrambling to find a lab somewhere in Europe or North America that is able to do the test for a non-citizen in such short notice. In addition to finding the appropriate lab facility the costs are extortionate, at ~ $20,000 for the Brain Molecular Biomaker Testing and at least $100,000 for the treatment.

The family must fly Lea overseas to Europe or North America ASAP to complete the necessary test for a full diagnosis and treatment. Expenses are quickly adding up and we need YOUR HELP to ensure Lea gets the necessary treatment. Every $ counts!! The family would be forever grateful to you, for saving their little girl, and helping ensure Lea has every opportunity to overcome this.

Thank you for reading this, and please have Lea in your prayers!
