Campaign Story

I still can’t believe the words the doctors keep telling me.

How can I even imagine that my daughter the little girl I’ve been dreaming about for so long could die now? 💔

Olivia, my precious baby… I waited for her for years. For so long, I couldn’t get pregnant, and when I finally discovered I was going to have a daughter, I was the happiest woman in the world.

I will never forget the first time I saw Olivia’s beautiful little face. The joy I felt that day is impossible to put into words.

Even in my darkest nightmares, I could never have imagined something like this.

One morning, I noticed Olivia’s nose looked different. Her left nostril was swollen, much larger than the other. At first, I thought it was nothing serious and that it would pass. But the next day, it had grown even more.

I couldn’t wait any longer I rushed her to the hospital.

I thought it was just an allergy or a minor infection, something a simple ointment or antibiotics could fix. But the doctor looked at Olivia and immediately ordered an urgent CT scan.

I will never forget the look on his face as he studied the results. His expression was heavy, grave. And then, in a low voice, he told me: Olivia had a very rare and aggressive soft tissue tumor a rhabdomyosarcoma one that almost never occurs in children her age.

Hearing the word “cancer” in relation to my little girl felt like the ground disappeared beneath me.

Summoning the last bit of strength I had, I asked the doctor: “What can we do?”

He shook his head slowly and said that, in our country, Olivia had no chance. The tumor was blocking her airway. She was suffocating. The doctors didn’t know how to save her.

There is no feeling worse than realizing your child’s life is in danger and knowing they could die at any moment. No one should ever have to feel this. But when I understood that Olivia could die at any second, I made a promise to myself: I would do everything everything to save her. Without Olivia, I could not go on living. 😰

My husband and I began searching tirelessly for doctors who could give her a chance. Finally, we found a treatment in Israel that could save her. The doctors there promised hope. But this treatment comes with a cost hundreds of thousands of dollars far beyond what we can afford.

This is Olivia’s only chance to survive. But we simply don’t have the money.

We have already spent every savings we had on diagnostics and initial treatments. We’ve asked friends and family for help but the funds have run out.

Now, we are completely out of options. Without this treatment, the tumor will spread again, and cancer will take Olivia from us.

I never imagined I would have to ask strangers for help. But as a mother, I will do anything to save my daughter.

Olivia is only 12 months old. She has her whole life ahead of her. She must live and I will fight for her with everything I have. I cannot lose my baby just because we lack the money to save her. It makes no sense to imagine a life without her. 😥

I have no choice but to turn to you. I am begging you, from the depths of my heart: please help us cover Olivia’s treatment.

Don’t leave us alone in this nightmare. Give my little girl a chance to live, to laugh, to grow.

Olivia’s life is in your hands.

Please, don’t turn away. Help me save my baby. 🙏
