I am 24 years old and a student of business administration. Two years ago, I was diagnosed with a cranial condition called Arnold Chiari malformation. Since then, I have lived with continuous headaches, dizziness, nausea, vision loss, and loss of strength in my hands and legs. It has been a difficult journey, but I keep moving forward with the hope of recovering my health and my daily life.
My doctors have told me that I need surgical intervention: a suboccipital decompressive craniectomy. It is urgent, because if the disease continues to advance, I could develop a cyst in my spinal cord, a condition known as syringomyelia. This surgery represents my best opportunity to halt the progression of the disease and prevent even more serious complications.
The surgery has a total cost of $15,000. With great effort, I have already managed to raise $10,200, but I still need approximately $4,800 to be able to have it done. That is why I come to you with humility and with my heart in my hand: any contribution, no matter how small, brings me closer to the possibility of having surgery and continuing to study and live with good health. I thank you with all my heart for your support and your solidarity.
