Who Is Arielle?
1 / 4I'm Arielle, I'm from the countryside, and every day I live with a rare disease that causes painful wounds all over my body.
Every new wound means more pain. Every flare-up requires care I can't afford on my own. The treatments and supplies I need already exceed $90,000.
Please help me keep fighting. Your donation is a night without pain in my life.

Updates
Arielle's story went online
The campaign started to spread, but the amount raised is still far from what Arielle needs. Every share and donation brings her closer to full treatment.
Treatment costs skyrocketed
New wounds appeared over larger areas of her body, and dressings started being changed almost every day. The cost keeps growing, adding up medication, medical visits, and dressings every week.
The month's bills don't add up
Between medication, household bills, and dressing supplies, the family ran out of money to cover the treatment in the same month. Arielle's mother had to stretch every penny.
Legal case opened to get dressings
The family filed a legal case asking the government for proper dressings for the disease, but still hasn't succeeded to this day. That impasse is what led to this campaign.
