Za Minjinu Šansu Kanada

This little angel needs our help and she needs it fast.

We are raising money to support one year old Minja Matic and her parents (Ivan and Zivka) on their journey to beat Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1 . The money will be used to cover medical expenses and for INNOVATIVE GEN THERAPY “ZOLGENSMA” ( indicated for the treatment of children under age of two) Unfortunately, this gen therapy is the most expensive medication in the world that costs 2.1 million dollars. We want to reach out to anyone that can and is willing to help. 

As young first-time parents, they never even imagined that something like this as none of the routine tests indicated any problems. 
Minja was born as a healthy baby but soon after she turned 3 months, she began to regress. She didn’t move her hands much, so Ivan and Zivka visited Paediatrician which changed everything forever.
Paediatrician sent them straight to Paediatric Neurology, where after a lot of days and multiple tests in the hospital Minja got diagnosed with SMA.
As soon as they found out about the diagnosis, they prepared to fight with this disease and they knew it’s not going to be easy since SMA is very progressive.
Minja got a chance to try a medication to slow down SMA progress but, unfortunately, it didn’t work.
So we have the LAST CHANCE to try and use Genetic therapy , that chance we CAN’T LOSE.

We hope that every small contribution will help us to achieve our GOAL and OUR GOAL is to Minja sit, stand, laugh, eat and play one day.
We are all in this together and together we can change a lot.

Please consider supporting this cause! ❤️
