This sweet girl named Fátima Natalia, she is 14 years old. Two years ago doctors discovered a tumor in her brain, a large, malignant tumor. Fátima had been in high school, and was said to be full of life. A few weeks ago, doctors were able to remove the tumor. This surgery left her unable to hear, she barely has 20% hearing, she can't walk anymore, she is in a wheelchair, she lost sight in one eye and the tumor grew again. On Friday, her doctor took her out of the hospital and sent her home to spend her last days.

She and her family are from Veracruz, they are living in Mérida because her doctor is there, unfortunately she can no longer travel to her town, and she will have to spend her last days or weeks with her mother and father alone. They live in a house made of cardboard and plastic sheets, in a deplorable situation. Just waiting for the inevitable for them to return to their village. Our goal was to help bring her brothers and family to spend the end of the year with her, and with your support we have been able to make this happen.

This condition is heredity, so Fátima's younger sister Rosalía will begin testing as soon as possible in order to stop the growth of her tumor .

Current Needs:

- Wheelchair

- Hearing Aid

- CT and MRI for Rosalía

Please send love to this family, our hearts are with them during this this unimaginable time.
