Karen Xiomara Rivera

Hi

It is with great pain in my heart that I write to you to ask for your COOPERATION on behalf of my sister Karen Xiomara Rivera, who has been hospitalized for 2 months due to hemolytic anemia.

I see myself in the obligation to appeal by this means , due to my economic situation, the health system in this country (Colombia) is of poor service and does not cover any type of medication or treatment.

This illness has caused my sister's red blood cells to break down faster than her body can replace them, resulting in 27 blood transfusions so far. The worst thing is that now she needs a bone marrow transplant to survive.

My sister has also had two operations, as the iron levels in her body rose and attacked her lungs and heart. Due to his condition, he requires frequent blood transfusions and this has resulted in a great financial burden on my family.

My family does not have the necessary resources to cover medical expenses and the medicine called Eltrombopag costs US$1400 per month and is needed to help your body produce more platelets. We need to raise US$35,000 to cover the bone marrow transplant.

My family can't afford these high costs, I turn to the world for help. If you know anyone who can help us with the purchase of the medication or who can help us pay for the bone marrow transplant, I would greatly appreciate it.
