Help Francesca & Family

Donation protected
Francesca was born with a rare genetic syndrome (Ellis Van Cleveld) that affected a lot of parts in her body. Including Heart, Legs, Arms, Hands, Dwarfism and Heart Defect. At the age of 2 she received her first heart operation and by the age of 14 she already had 16 operations thorughout her body. In 2015 she suffered and survived 2 heart attacks followed by 2 heart operation and an installment of a pacemaker. She just had a heart transplant after years of being in the waiting list. Now more than ever the family needs to be close to her in this delicate moments. For this motive we will be forced to close the shop temporary. Thank you for your understanding.
UPDATE
After the transplant to the heart of our Francesca her recovery was going well, but unfortunately she was attacked by a bacteria that nearly compromised her lungs so she faced again another surgery by reopening her chest again to clean up the infection, keeping herself in good condition. intensive care and with much fear and anguish for her health.
Almost a month has passed where we have been day and night with her leaving our shop because as always the priority is our daughter, Francesca is still hospitalized struggling with liquids that are inside her body, we still don't know how long .
Now more than ever we need community support.
we would try to reopen our shop as soon as possible, we also need to work with the thought of our daughter, we are a family that never loses hope it's a whole life that our sweet Francesca struggles to have a modicum of health and as parents we would do the impossible for Francesca.
I want to thank everyone in advance for your support of any kind.
Thank you.
