Our 12 yo daughter Diora, was diagnosed with Mitochondrial LHON, a genetic disease that has robbed her of almost all of her eyesight. She is now legally blind, with the chance of becoming totally blind. There is no cure; however, there is a treatment that can stop the progression of her sight loss and help her gain some of her sight back.
Unfortunately, this treatment Idebenone Raxone compound, isn't covered through our medical insurance, after multiple appeals. It is immensely expensive, $1880 every 2 weeks and is an impossible cost for our family. We are asking that you make any donations that you can and that you pass this along to you your friends and family, as well as hopefully post on your social media as well. This is the only treatment available and we need the medicine as soon as possible, as it must be started in the next 4 months, thank you and best regards. This is life changing medicine for Diora!

1yr ago$1880 every two weeks?? Insurance won’t cover?? This is outrageous. This life savings medications should be free of charge, how do we allow this? What happens when they run out?? So tragic and upsetting, something is profoundly wrong with our current healthcare system, when we pay thousands of dollars and we can’t cover a medication that if you don’t get you go blind. Full support for the family wish them well and hope Diora recovers. Solidarity ✊
