COMPLETELY HEALED!
Soraya is healed and is back home after more than a year! The departure was ultimately delayed a bit because of the limited travel options due to Corona. Finally, at the end of February 2021 everything worked out fine. Soraya called us from Cameroon. She is happy to be with her family again and will resume her studies.
We wish Soraya all the best for the future and thank the mi-do donation community again for their extremely generous support!
Soraya is studying medicine and is full of plans for the future. But then her life suddenly changes in summer 2019 - breathing difficulties, pain, exhaustion. She seeks medical attention and comes to the Cardiac Centre Outreach department in Yaoundé. The doctors look worriedly at the ultrasound image of Soraya. They do not see a heart defect but a huge tumor that is pressing on the heart. An effusion has already formed in the pericardium. Action must be taken quickly. It is decided to do a biopsy in order to make a reliable diagnosis and the effusion is also drained. And then the considerations begin: What happens after the diagnosis is made? Will there be a treatment option in Cameroon? Is the treatment affordable? In the following days and weeks good and bad news alternate: It is a malignant lymphoma; however, there are treatment options and there is a good chance of being completely cured; treatment should start immediately; however, such treatment is not possible in Cameroon; abroad it is terribly expensive. . . .
Dr. Matthias Angrés (RobinAid) is trying to find a treatment centre in Europe. At several clinics he is rejected - too expensive, too risky, too, too, too. . . . . . . . . He does not give up and then comes the good news! Soraya will be treated in Göttingen and she should come as soon as possible. Of course, you can't do it without any financial means at all. Therefore we want to contribute to the treatment costs with the same amount of money we would give for a heart operation.
A thousand thanks in advance for your appreciated support!

News: March 06, 2020
Soraya has already completed 4 of 8 chemotherapy cycles and the tumor has become much smaller. The therapies are very exhausting and therefore Soraya always needs recovery times in between. The upcoming chemotherapy cycles can be carried out on an outpatient basis.
We want to contribute to the treatment costs with a larger amount! We usually collect on this platform the necessary resources for cardiac surgery carried out in the Cardiac Center of the Tertiary Sisters of St. Francis in Cameroon. Due to the Corona pandemia, however, the activity in the heart center has been stopped until further notice. We therefore want to concentrate entirely on Soraya and pay for the treatment costs of Soraya together with the RobinAid Foundation. We aim to collect a total of € 12,000.00 instead of the original € 6000.00.
Please help us achieve this goal! THANK YOU!
Good news!
September 2020: The radiation therapy is completed and the last examination showed no signs of the tumor. To be on the safe side, another examination is planned for the end of September and we hope that the good result can be confirmed. In any case, Soraya is much better now and and we wish her that she is able to also enjoy her stay in Europe which will last another one or two months.
