                                                         SAVE LINA
We are launching an emergency appeal for little Lina, 17 months old, who is suffering from a liver disease. After the two previous fundraisers launched on CotizUp for children with the same disease (for Maria and Bouchra), this mother contacted us to help with her procedures. The money will be handed over in full to the hospital as we did for Maria. One detail: a phantom commission exists in Algeria to provide assistance, but the delays take years and are therefore inappropriate for an infant with a failing or damaged liver since it no longer performs its functions (latest catastrophic blood test results at the bottom of the page).
Moreover, the visa request failed, and the little girl will therefore not be able to benefit from the AME (Aide médicale étrangère / Foreign Medical Assistance). Consulates and immigration offices hardly ever issue visas, or do so sparingly, for Algerian and Moroccan nationals. The consulate told me it is taking precautions because hospitals then claim reimbursement of medical costs from the Algerian consulate.......

Like Maria, the baby was born with a biliary tract malformation and underwent the Kasai operation at 2 months old (creation of a loop or bypass), which failed. Lina therefore needs a liver transplant. A donor has been found. Indeed, the liver is the only organ that can be partially removed (up to 3/4) and then regrow to a normal size in only 4 months. It regenerates on its own.

Biliary atresia is a rare disease present from the child’s birth.
The operation is very complex and requires pre‑ and post‑transplant follow‑up for both the donor and the child. This transplant is not performed in Algeria. In France, the cost of the operation amounts to 220 000 € versus 120 000 € in Belgium (where Lina will be treated, Insha'Allah).
We will therefore direct Lina’s mother to Saint‑Luc Hospital in Brussels, to the pediatric transplant unit under Professor Reding, where little Maria is currently being treated. The snag is, as we experienced previously with Maria, the hospital insists and only admits the infant once the €120,000 has been paid into the hospital’s account.

I stress that without a transplant the inevitable outcome is the death of the child.
Lina is losing weight rapidly and is jaundiced because of this disease. The little girl has trouble sleeping and suffers from itching.

Lina during her hospitalization at 3 months old:

We are counting on you, dear brothers and sisters, to help Lina and her mother, brothers and sisters who live this tragedy every day. Let’s not wait for the little one to become malnourished and suffer...
Barakallaoufikoum. Thank you to those who will contribute to this fund. Don’t forget, there are no small donations.

The child is only taken care of once the amount is paid and available to the institution. For any information: [email protected]


Whatever the amount of your contribution, by donating you become an important and effective link in the long chain of solidarity. Because every donation counts, because your gesture will make a difference, participate now! Everyone can contribute the amount they wish. Know that all payments are 100% secure.
If you cannot contribute financially, share this fundraiser as widely as possible. Because sharing is also helping, you can support the fundraiser by recommending this donation page around you via social networks.

Lina’s condition is worsening. The little one is eating less and less. Her bilirubin level is skyrocketing and her belly is swelling....

Lina’s latest tests are very bad and show an abnormally very high bilirubin level!! The bilirubin poisons her blood, the creatinine level indicates muscle wasting and even possible kidney complications, prothrombinase or Quick time demonstrates a bleeding risk, she suffers from rickets, her alkaline phosphatase level indicates rickets or a vitamin D deficiency that hinders bone growth. TGO and TGP indicate portal hypertension (at the level of the portal vein in the liver ). Her liver is hard as a rock and has lost its sponginess and no longer absorbs blood… consequently ascites fills the peritoneum and causes abdominal swelling......

 

To get news about Lina, we created a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Un-foie-pour-Lina-1016496991760904/
A PETITION HAS JUST BEEN PUT ONLINE TO REQUEST THAT MOROCCO AND ALGERIA COVER CARE ABROAD FOR ALL CITIZENS WHO CANNOT BE TREATED IN THEIR COUNTRY. PLEASE TAKE PART. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

NOTE:
If we manage to raise the donations so that Lina can be treated, an immunosuppressive treatment will nevertheless be required to anticipate late rejection. This treatment will be necessary for life and has many drawbacks that can lead to other complications. This treatment costs around €40,000 per year. The family will then have to request a humanitarian visa and thus leave Algeria where they will have to find the funds necessary to receive their treatment. Many children are transplanted thanks to donations and then die afterwards for lack of care. Numerous tests and monitoring for signs of rejection will therefore be needed, and all of that will have a cost. We will keep you informed of further developments, Insha'Allah.
The road is therefore still strewn with obstacles.
