Saving Emiliano

Life can change in the blink on an eye, and that’s what happened to us.

When you least expect it, you find yourself at a hospital, getting the worst news of your life: our small child, Emiliano, who is only two years and eight months old, has got a brain tumor called Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG). Up to this point, this type of tumor cannot be removed; and no cure has been found given that no research protocol has been proved to be successful – although one might.

At this moment, the current treatment is limited to radiotherapy and traditional chemotherapy; any other procedure is merely a palliative care.

And just like that, by asking God to please manifest Himself before us, and after several weeks of searching for all kinds of options, the most awaited email arrived; it was light, it was hope: Dana-Farber, Boston Children Hospital (BCH) is opening a new clinic protocol for DIPG.

We applied through their international department and GrandRounds; we appreciated it, we enjoyed it, we pictured ourselves there… we felt it was ours, but we never imagined that money would become an obstacle for our goal, because these wonderful news have an entry ticket that costs one million dollars. One million dollars, which must be raised almost immediately, is keeping us apart from our goal –giving Emiliano the hope to live.
