    Story

    Ewa is Polish and this is her story in her own words (English below):

    Nasza historia. Mam na imie Ewa i jestem mama bardzo dzielnego chlopca, ktory walczy z rzadkim i niestety bardzo agresywnym nowotworem tkanki lacznej zwanym miesakiem miesni poprzecznie prazkowanych.

    Cristiano ma dopiero 8 lat a od 3 miesiecy toczy walke o zycie. Jego guz jest rozlany przez co nieoperacyjny, usytuowany w glowie, sklonny do przerzutow dlatego leczenie polega glownie na chemioterapii i radioterapii.

    Obecnie przebywamy w USA w Oklahoma City gdzie przez ok. 2 miesiace nasz kochany bohater bedzie poddawany codziennej radioterapii protonowej w klinice ProCure i jednoczesnie silnej chemioterapii.

    Wierzymy, ze pewnego dnia nasze kiedys pogodne i pelne zycia dziecko do nas powroci i znowu zagoszcza spokoj i radosc w naszym zrujnowanym przez chorobe zyciu. Jednak koszty utrzymania tu w stanach jak i w UK ( bylismy zmuszeni zostawic naszego drugiego 2-letniego synka Oskarka z dziadkami ) oraz inne wydatki zwiazane przede wszystkim z ciaglymi podrozami do i ze szpitala przerastaja nasze mozliwosci finansowe.

    Dlatego wolamy o pomoc i wsparcie wszystkich zyczliwych ludzi tak abysmy mogli skupic sie wylacznie na walce z choroba. Kazda nawet drobna kwota ma dla nas wielkie znaczenie. Dziekujemy z calego serca w imieniu naszym i naszego synka.

    Eight year old Cristiano Sousa was recently diagnosed with Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma, a tumour that is part of a group of cancers known as "soft tissue sarcomas".

    Cristiano is currently in the USA with his parents, Ewa and Orlando, where he needs to stay for several months to undergo proton beam therapy, part of the radical treatment he needs that isn't currently available in the UK.

    This extended stay in America will make a difficult situation even harder for Cristiano's parents as they simply do not have the funds to cover living costs, food and other basic essentials.

      Update from the Page owner

      Thanks to everyone who has donated so far. This page is now closed and funds will be sent to Cristiano's family within around a week. I've started a new page for anyone who would still like to donate: https://crowdfunding.justgiving.com/CristianoSousa1

      Cristiano has returned to the UK as he hasn't been able to undergo proton beam therapy. Unfortunately his tumour has grown, so he will be undergoing chemotherapy in the hope that it can be shrunk enough that he may be able to return to America to receive treatment.

    I've just found out that my friend's son has cancer so I've created this page to help them through this difficult situation.
