Save Arlett from going blind to brain cancer...

67%
$40,411raised
of $60,000 goal

Arlett is only 12 years old and is facing one of the hardest battles any child should ever have to endure: an aggressive form of brain cancer.

Earlier this year, Arlett lost the vision in one of her eyes because of the cancer.

Now, doctors are warning that she is at risk of losing the vision in her other eye if she does not receive immediate treatment. Her family urgently needs help to get her to a specialist and cover the cost of a critical eye surgery that could save the vision she has left. Without this procedure, Arlett could lose her eyesight completely.

No child should have to face blindness while also fighting for their life.

In addition to this urgent surgery, Arlett’s family is overwhelmed by growing medical bills, transportation costs to and from treatments, and the ongoing struggle to keep up with rent while caring for their daughter full-time.

They are doing everything they possibly can, but they cannot get through this alone.

• Cover emergency eye surgery to save Arlett’s vision
• Pay for specialist appointments and other medical expenses
• Cover transportation costs for life-saving treatments
• Help the family with rent and basic living expenses during this incredibly difficult time

Arlett is brave. She is strong. And even through the pain, she continues to find reasons to smile.

If you can give, even a small donation, you will be helping protect Arlett’s eyesight, her future, and her chance to continue seeing the world around her.

If you are unable to donate, please share her story.

Let’s come together and help Arlett keep her light shining.

To eradicate hunger and promote basic education in underserved regions through direct action.
