I don’t know if I will survive this time, Please don’t give up on me!

When I arrived at the oncology ward I saw lots of children with bald heads and I got scared. I was the only one in the ward with hair but it was more important for me to live. Please help me, don’t leave me alone!💔


My name is Karina and I am 9 years old. I am fighting against cancer for the second time. 😰
A short while ago I was sure I beat cancer and thought it was all behind me. That I can fulfill my dreams again, without worrying about my life. I am only 9 years old and I am fighting cancer for the second time.
I got sick with Leukemia the first time and also the second, it’s back in my whole body and the doctors in my country told me they don’t have a way to help me.
My body is weak and painful and I just feel terrible all the time. Already for months my body has been full of infections, I don’t exactly understand what is happening to me but my mother is crying all the time, I understand that it’s a bad sign. I vomit all the time. My fever doesn’t go down. I don’t want to even tell you how bad Chemotherapy is… It’s a nonstop battle.
I am only 9 years old but I am very mature. I understand what’s going on, I know the treatments I need cost a lot of money and my parents can’t afford them. 😰
I heard my mother speaking to the doctors and they told her that if we can’t pay for the treatments then they will have to stop the process and send me back to my country. I know that if we will have the money I will be able to live.
I don’t want to die.
Do you know what I used to do in the past? I used to sing and play the piano. I loved it so much. When I arrived at the ward I saw so many children that needed help. I drew pictures for them and tried to sell them so they can have the money they need for treatments because I thought everything was okay with me.
Now I‘m the one who needs help. I don’t know what else to do.
I just want to live. I want to be the girl I used to be once, full of energy, full of life. Smiling, happy, and creative.
I’m not ready to give up. I still have a chance, I just need you to help me get that chance. 🙏
Please I am writing to you with tears in my eyes that just won’t stop, I feel so bad for my mother she has to go through this pain, If something happens to me she will stay all alone.
Don’t give up on my life.
I want to live. 💔
