My Story…
Dear family & friends,
Our beautiful granddaughter Maria was born with Beta Thalassemia Major, an inherited blood disorder that requires lifelong treatment.
Every month, Maria goes to SickKids for blood transfusions. From such a young age, she has shown us what true strength and courage look like, facing it all with an incredible spirit that continues to inspire our entire family.
My hope is to help raise awareness, support families living with Thalassemia, and contribute to the research and advancements that can give Maria and others like her the healthiest and brightest future possible.
Every donation, no matter the amount, supports this important work and brings us closer a cure.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting Maria. It means more to our family than I can express.
