Hello, Kia ora,
He is Lorenzo, aka "Lolo". He was born in Rio Cuarto, Argentina. He was diagnosed with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) type 1 (the worst grade) when he was 5 months old. To improve his quality of life he needs an expensive treatment with a novel drug called Zolgensma which costs USD $2.125 million. This is an impossible amount of money for his family, so it would be amazing if you could help!
TIME IS RUNNING OUT and he needs this treatment before his second birthday which will be this December, 2021. People around the world are mobilizing for his cause and, as a part of his Kiwi family, we want to help him. The easiest thing we can all do for Lolo is to help contribute to the costs of this treatment. You can be part of this! Any financial support makes a difference and Lolo’s family has been overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support from us so far.
Thanks for your support! Tēnā koe!
With love,
Lolo's Kiwi family

What is SMA? It is a genetic neuromuscular disease that prevents the proper development of the muscles. In severe cases, it causes death during the first years of life.
What is the treatment that he needs? It is a novel treatment using Zolgensma, an effective drug for a genetic treatment of children less than 2 years old with SMA with the objective to repair the genes that are responsible for producing the specific proteins (SMN) in normal quantities.
Él es Lorenzo, más conocido como Lolo. Lolo nació en Rio Cuarto, Argentina y a sus 5 meses de edad fue diagnosticado con Atrofia Muscular Espinal (AME) tipo 1 (la de mayor gravedad). Para mejorar su calidad de vida necesita acceder a un novedoso tratamiento utilizando una droga llamada Zolgensma, cuyo costo es de USD $2.125 millones. Esta cantidad de dinero es imposible de cubrir por su familia, por eso sería maravilloso que nos puedas ayudar.
El tiempo es crucial, Lolo necesita su tratamiento antes de cumplir sus dos años, que será este diciembre del 2021. Muchas personas están trabajando por esta causa, y nosotros como la familia de Lolo en Nueva Zelanda, queremos ayudarlo. Lo mejor que podemos hacer por Lolo es contribuir a costear su tratamiento. ¡Vos también podés ser parte de esto!!!
Cualquier apoyo económico será de gran ayuda para Lolo y su familia estará siempre agradecida por el amor y el apoyo brindado.
¡Gracias por tu soporte!
Con amor, la familia de Lolo en Nueva Zelanda.
