Their story β€” in their own words

Who Is Arielle?

I'm Arielle. I live in the countryside, and every day I face a rare condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa that causes painful wounds across my body.

Every new wound means more pain. Every flare-up requires specialized care that my family cannot afford alone. The dressings, medical visits, medication, nutrition and supplies I need already exceed $90,000.

Please help me keep fighting. Your donation can give me a night without pain.

Why Your Help Matters

Without continued treatment, Arielle may keep suffering intense flare-ups, open wounds and blood loss. Her family cannot keep up with the medical care she needs, and the disease can continue progressing and putting her life at risk.

With support, Arielle can receive better wound dressings, medical visits, medication and nutrition. Consistent care can reduce her suffering and help a young girl live with greater independence, dignity and hope.

Every donation, no matter the amount, can be the difference between Arielle having a calmer night or another night of burning pain. She cannot do this alone.

Full Transparency β€” Monthly Costs

Special wound dressings for Epidermolysis Bullosa: $86,800. Medical visits and tests: $3,000. Gastroenterologist visits: $1,000. Dermatologist visits: $750. Supplements, vitamins and medication: $600. Nutritionist visits: $600. Transportation and other expenses: $500. Moisturizers and skin care: $300. Total monthly need: $93,550.

Campaign Updates

July 2026 β€” Arielle's story went online. The campaign started to spread, but the amount raised is still far from what she needs. Every share and donation brings her closer to full treatment.

June 2026 β€” Arielle's condition became worse. New wounds appeared across larger areas of her body, and her dressings had to be changed almost every day. The cost continued rising with medication, visits and supplies.

February 2026 β€” The family ran out of money to cover medication, household bills and dressing supplies in the same month. Arielle's mother had to stretch every penny.

November 2025 β€” The family filed a legal case requesting proper dressings through the government, but the process remains unresolved. That impasse led to this campaign.

Please help Arielle receive the care she needs. If donating is not possible, sharing her story can help it reach someone who can.
