Their story — in their own words

Hi, my name is Catarina. For 7 years my life has been marked by a constant fight against an autoimmune disease considered refractory.

I've been through hospital stays, exams, surgeries, medication, side effects, and a lot of fear. I've been treated at multiple hospitals and gone through splenectomy, Rituximab, Romiplostim, and every other therapy available to me.

As if that weren't enough, I was recently diagnosed with endometriosis on top of everything. Complementary treatments have given me quality of life, energy, and presence for my son. It was the year I felt I was living, not just surviving.

I'm creating this campaign because I would like to resume those complementary treatments alongside my medical care. Any help makes a difference.
