Help me save Santiago's life, Leukemia battle!

Donation protected
I’m sharing the most heartbreaking story of my life. We need financial support to transfer him to a hospital in the U.S. For an specific treatment that offers a higher chance of saving his life.

On September 27, 2024, I became the proud mother of two beautiful twin boys, Lorenzo and Santiago. Our hearts were full of love, dreams, and plans for the future.

But in January 2025, our world came crashing down when Lorenzo was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). We immediately began treatment in Colombia, but just 20 days later, my sweet Lorenzo passed away due to complications from the treatment.

In the midst of this unbearable grief, we have fought to stay strong for Santiago, our surviving twin. But on March 20, our worst nightmare happened again—Santiago was rushed to a Hospital in Bogotá, where doctors confirmed he has the same devastating disease.

Our best hope for Santiago is urgent treatment in the U.S., this treatment could give him a real chance at survival. But we need your help. We are raising funds to cover the costs of his transfer and the critical medical care he needs to stay alive.

I cannot lose another son. Santiago is my everything, the heart of our family. One angel in heaven is enough.

If you can’t donate, please share this campaign. Every share brings us closer to saving Santiago’s life.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart.
