Luisa is a two year old girl who transformed a dark world, in one full of colors and pants. I love to sing, make laughing for her two older brothers and use her mother's makeup to feel beautiful.
At his 9 months he was diagnosed with eye cancer in the left eye and days later, a hemorrhage in his right eye ended up cloudy his sight. But this has not been an obstacle to being a funny and cheerful girl, that's why Inílida her mother feels great motivation to follow a treatment that promises to give her a little bit of vision in her right eye.
Strengthening the eye cancer program is our goal, that is why the importance of having donors that can help children like Luisa to have timely attention to save their eyes and even their lives.
