Hello, my name is Jailene Bustillo. I am 11 years old and I am from the Bay Islands of Honduras, I have been diagnosed with sequelae of hypoxic neonatal-ischemic encephalopathy. I am currently taking 3 different medications (Lamotrigine 125mg, Keppra 100mg and Lacotem 50mg every 12hrs) for seizures. I have had 11 seizures in the past 3 months, every episode causes damage to my brain that leads me to weeks of therapy, hospitalization and even sedatives . Physiotherapy is part of my daily routine to recover the strength in my body and mitigate the damages caused by the seizures. My ability to walk and stand by myself has been diminished.
It has been a dificult time for me and my family , but I am not giving up! We have been blessed with the oportunity to travel to the United States, searching for new hope. With your help I will be able to cover the travel, medical, and further treatment expenses that we will incur.
Treatment in Honduras has not improved my situation, but we rely on this opportunity, to recover my childhood and life back. We have been granted a medical VISA for my travel to the U.S. The necessary funds to travel and seek medical care are the only things holding up my treatment.
Thank you in advance for your donation and support.
May God Bless you
With love , JJ.
