Cancer is causing Agathe to suffer! Save her from suffering!

 

Agathe is a little sunshine. She wants to become a doctor to help children. Now she is fighting terrible cancer and knows how painful and complicated it is. The little girl has not given up, even though this suffering is almost impossible to bear! She wants to help other children, and she loves animals too! The cat Kuzya, the rabbit Hare, birds, and dogs Dana and Laima have been waiting for her at home. I wish they would wait for her.

It hurts watching Agathe sobbing desperately at the treatments, seeing how tired and discouraged she is. The child needs urgent treatment, but her parents cannot pay the price of their daughter's life. The necessary sum is so enormous that it is beyond their means to earn it. The clinic where Agathe has been admitted for treatment without full payment has already accumulated massive debts, and the child may be denied treatment any day now. Agathe is a sweet and kind girl who deserves a miracle and your compassion.

When she was three years old, she was diagnosed with last-stage cancer. It was terrifying. It started with a fever and body pains. She underwent chemotherapy for seven months with patience. The doctors managed to achieve remission. Agathe was recommended a bone marrow transplant to stabilise the result. But the little girl's condition worried her mother.

"My daughter's condition was very complicated. She was on the verge - Agathe might not survive the bone marrow transplant. I consulted the doctors at Sant Joan de Déu clinic, who gave us hope and said that we could perform immunotherapy without a bone marrow transplant", says Agathe's mother.
 

The girl was treated in Spain with immunotherapy. It seemed like a victory! The doctors let her return home. She was over the moon - she hugged her loved ones, went into her nursery and put her toys away. But CANCER measured only two months of her peaceful childhood. RECURRENCE happened! They could not offer any treatment in her homeland. They could not even find any painkillers. To her mother's despair, it was a multiple lesion. It turned out to be very dark and complicated. No one had expected this. Cancer was more insidious. It was in the head. The trouble did not recede. The treatment in Spain started again. There's no money for it now. The girl is in desperate danger.

 "The treatment Agatha is receiving now is working and working: immunotherapy, chemo, rays, but there's a huge wall in front of us... There is not enough money for the treatment. And if we stop, all my little girl's agony and suffering will be for nothing. We are hoping for help from caring people, and we believe that victory will come and Agata will grow up to be a wonderful person because she is a very kind, brave and clever girl. We told her that we would visit the good doctors for a little while. Agatha wants to go home, to her daddy, to her beloved animals and only wants to live without pain. Her heart is breaking for her torment. We ask you as our last hope: help us take our daughter away from CANCER!" - Agatha's mother.

What could a girl dream of when she faces daily suffering and doesn't know when or how it will end? Survive, return home and enjoy her now-forgotten, so-serene childhood. She would have given so much for that! But in the depths of her child's heart, she also has the most touching dreams: to have a white cat, she even thought of a name for it, to go to school like all the other children...

Every evening Agathe sobs on her mother's shoulder and tells her how scared she is and how she wants to go home, but she knows that she will have to endure it if she wants to live, if only good people would not turn their backs and help her finish the treatment! Now Agathe's days are spent waiting to see if the next morning will come or if her life will stop before help arrives. The girl's fate is in the hands of good people. We beg you - don't leave the family in distress.
 

Don't let CANCER take Agathe's fragile life!
