Stem cells to help Bruno, Mariana and many more children

“There’s no chance of a cure,” “when a brain cell dies it’s impossible to regenerate.” “There are no open doors”, “your child has the worst of lesions and nothing can be done”. Phrases like these have been listened to for years by the relatives of children with unexpected brain injury, that is to say, children with a set of alterations that affect to a greater or lesser degree their previously healthy brain and that cause enormous sequels.

Bruno and Mariana are two of those children with brain injury that all the medical doors have closed to them. Their families have been struggling for years to improve the quality of life of their children.
Mariana entered the hospital at the age of 13 months with a peak fever. She had been convulsed and at first the doctors didn’t give her much importance. She returned home and a few hours later she went back to the hospital. When he was discharged again, several months had lapsed. He could not walk, nor could he move, nor did he react to external stimuli.

 
 
Bruno was playing with his father at home, he felt a severe headache. From there he got stuck talking and had trouble walking. 4 months of ICU and medical tests that ended with the worst diagnosis. Acute Necrotizing Romboencephalitis.

In the face of so much medical pessimism, stem cells now open a new thread of hope. The ‘Fundación Niño Jesús‘ together with the ‘Fundación Sin Daño‘ have started a clinical trial. They need funding to carry it out.
Its objective is the introduction of “mesenchymal” stem cells in children with acquired brain injury. These cells are undifferentiated, that is to say, they have the capacity of “multipotential self-renewal”, that is to say, it locates the injured cell and becomes an identical one taking its place and function.

The clinical trial is in Phase 1. 5 children participate, among them Bruno and Mariana, and if they find more economic resources, more children could participate. Doctors’ expectations are optimistic.

It’s important that the concept includes: “donation for the clinical trial of the hospital of the Child Jesus”.

Certificates will be sent for tax deduction of the donation received.

Thank you very much for your help!
