Camila is a 14yr. old girl who needs a transplant so that she can enjoy life like any teenager. She’s a vibrant, very lovable, social, fun girl. She’s is my butterfly and she’s also my warrior. Three years ago her battle began. She was diagnosed with a rare disease called ANCA Vasculitis, which is inflammation of the blood vessels caused by the immune system mistakenly attacking them. In her case, the disease was aggressive, the treatment didn’t work for her and last summer she lost her kidneys and has been on dialysis since.

Since her condition is an autoimmune disease, her condition needs to be under control before transplant if not, the immune system will attack the new kidney. Thankfully, her disease became under control and she was given the green light to be on the transplant list. She is getting close to that step but there are transplant expenses that some are not covered even with insurance. She will need to take anti-rejection medications for the rest of her life and we’ve been told to anticipate upwards of $5,000 a month just for these medications alone. Because of this, I’m asking to please help us ease the financial burden of a transplant and allow us to focus on a healthy recovery and a long life ahead with Camila.

Our family and friends of are raising money in honor of Camila Mangual for the nonprofit Help Hope Live to fund uninsured medical expenses associated with transplantation.
