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 è una bimba intelligente, divertente, carina. Anche se potremmo dire "era", dal fatidico 21 marzo, quando si è verificato un terribile e tragico incidente. Un parente, in uno stato di shock da un attacco epilettico, lasciò cadere Alba dal terzo piano. Alba è stata salvata ma ha subito diversi danni cerebrali. Ora ha un lungo processo di neuroriabilitazione per cercare di recuperare e tornare ad essere un po' quello che era. Aiutala!
