Did you know that 5,000 people get sick with leukaemia each year in Spain, which is the most common childhood cancer, and that despite the progress made, we still lose one in four minors and half of adults? At the Josep Carreras Foundation we have been working for more than 30 years to make leukaemia a 100% curable disease, to find 100% compatible donors for everyone, and to make displaced patients feel at home. With your help, we are unstoppable.

We are a family from Spain. Our son Mateo, has a genetic mutation in the NEK8 gene, considered ultra rare, that is damaging his organs. When he was 9 months old, he had a liver transplant and when he was 3 years old, a kidney transplant. In a future he could need a heart transplant, also. There is a research team that can help him to stop his illness but they need funding (€62,000). Your contribution can save him.

Alba est une petite fille intelligente, drôle, amicale. Même si l'on devrait plutôt dire " elle était ", car le 21 mars 2016, un terrible et tragique accident en état de choc du fait d'une crise d'épilepsie, a laissé tomber Alba d'un troisième étage. Alba a pu être sauvée, mais elle a beaucoup de lésions cérébrales. Maintenant, nous avons un long processus de rééducation neurologique devant nous pour voir à quel point elle peut se rétablir et redevenir la petite fille qu'elle était. Aidez-nous !
