IN THE MEANTIME, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE AND READING OUR STORY.

I AM VINCENZO, TEODORA’S FATHER.

UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE BEEN A WIDOWER SINCE 2023.

IN JANUARY 2024, MY DAUGHTER WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A RARE FORM OF DEGENERATIVE BRAIN CANCER.

SINCE THEN, I HAVE BEEN DEVOTING MYSELF ENTIRELY TO HER, TAKING HER AROUND TO ALL THE CLINICS FOR HER TREATMENTS.

UNFORTUNATELY, AFTER TESTS AND EXAMINATIONS, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE BEST TO PUT HER ON EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENTS... BECAUSE SHE IS NOT IMPROVING WITH THE CURRENT TREATMENTS.

THE EXPERIMENTAL TREATMENT IS SCHEDULED FOR 29 MARCH IN MILAN.

THEY WERE ORIGINALLY SCHEDULED FOR NOVEMBER, BUT TEODORA WAS NOT CLINICALLY STABLE. 

WE LIVE IN THE PROVINCE OF AREZZO.

I have a modest job.

THE TREATMENT IS OBVIOUSLY FREE, BUT THEY HAVE MADE IT CLEAR TO ME THAT THE ACCOMMODATION COSTS FOR THE PERSON ACCOMPANYING THE CHILD (ME) ARE AT MY OWN EXPENSE.

TODY IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN CARE FOR OVER 3 MONTHS

I CANNOT AFFORD TO STAY IN MILAN FOR 3 MONTHS WITHOUT WORKING; I DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY FUNDS.

I place my trust in God and in you.

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
