Adelina, 10 years old
Diagnosis – Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia
Adelina is just 10 years old, yet her life has been shaped by an extraordinary fight against acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Diagnosed in March 2021, Adelina’s brave journey began with hope when she received a bone marrow transplant from her father. Sadly, that first transplant was unsuccessful, requiring further treatment and a second transplant in April 2023. Throughout, Adelina’s family has remained a pillar of strength, standing by her with unwavering love and hope.
Adelina’s treatment journey has been challenging and complex. After her second transplant, she faced serious complications requiring careful and ongoing medical management. One critical phase involved antiviral therapy with Foscavir, a vital medicine unavailable locally. Thanks to the generosity of Gift of Life donors, 30 vials of Foscavir were purchased at a cost of £7,162, ensuring Adelina could receive this life-saving treatment on time.
Alongside the antiviral therapy, Adelina has been under constant medical supervision to manage post-transplant complications such as immune and liver issues, and nutritional challenges. Although her condition is serious, she is currently stable and responding to treatment, supported by a dedicated team of healthcare professionals.
Today, Adelina continues her treatment with cautious optimism. She feels relatively well and is monitored closely to ensure her progress. While the road ahead remains demanding, Adelina’s courage and the support she receives inspire hope every day. Her family cherishes moments of peace and small victories amidst the ongoing battle.
We are deeply grateful to every donor who has helped make Adelina’s treatment possible. Your kindness has funded critical medicines like Foscavir that are otherwise inaccessible, providing not only care but hope to this brave young girl and her family.
