Hello, my name is Nilda Cruz Santiago, and I’m reaching out with deep humility to ask for your support.
I have been diagnosed with two rare and life-altering conditions:
• 80% congenital lipodystrophy
• 20% lipedema
These disorders severely affect the distribution and storage of fat in my body. Congenital lipodystrophy is a rare condition that prevents normal fat storage, often leading to serious metabolic complications. In addition, lipedema is a chronic and painful condition that causes the buildup of fat in the legs and arms, making movement difficult and drastically reducing quality of life.
To receive the medical care I urgently need— including specialized treatments, therapies, and surgeries-| must raise oximately $100,000.This amount will cover hospital stays, medical expenses, and necessary interventions to help me manage these conditions and regain my mobility.
Due to the high cost, I am turning to the kindness of others-friends, family, and compassionate people like you. Your donation, no matter the amount, will bring me one step closer to relief and a better life.
Please consider supporting my fundraiser
campaign.
If you’re unable to donate at this time, sharing my story is another powerful way to help.
With all my heart, thank you for your generosity, prayers, and support during this critical time in my life.
With gratitude,
Nilda Cruz Santiago
