“This is the moment I need your help the most to save my son’s life.”

My name is Natalia, and I am a mother desperately fighting to save her only child. My son, Santino, is just six years old—but cancer has already stolen so much of his childhood.

At just three years old, Santino was diagnosed with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Our world fell apart. Months of painful chemotherapy, endless hospital nights, and a bone marrow transplant in our home country, Argentina, gave us hope. For a while, we believed he was safe.

But this January, our worst nightmare returned—a relapse.

We went from doctor to doctor in Argentina, but every door closed on us. The words “There is nothing more we can do” shattered my heart. But how do you tell a smiling, brave little boy that it’s over? We refused to give up.

Singapore Gave Us a Glimmer of Hope

Through the kindness of another mother, we learned about KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Singapore. After a video consultation, for the first time in weeks, we heard hope. The doctors believe Santino still has a chance—a second bone marrow transplant supported by a cord blood infusion.

We sold everything we could and flew to Singapore within a week. But now, we face the harsh reality: USD 30,000 is needed for his life-saving treatment and follow-up care.

Why We Are Asking for Your Help

We are a small family with no relatives here. My husband works tirelessly as a truck driver transporting chemical goods, and I had to give up my small children’s clothing business to care for Santino. We don’t have international insurance or even speak the language—but we are here, because this is our only chance to save our son.

Santino is a bright, beautiful child. He loves dinosaurs, building blocks, and drawing superheroes. Every day, he asks me, “Mama, when can we go home?”

But right now, I don’t have an answer. Without your help, we cannot afford to complete his treatment.

How You Can Make a Difference

Your donation—no matter the amount—brings us closer to saving Santino’s life. You’re giving a little boy his childhood back and two parents the chance to hold their son a little longer.

If you’re a parent, you understand this fear—the desperate need to protect your child. Today, I am humbly asking you to help me protect mine.

With all my heart,
Natalia (Santino’s Mama)
