Alejo, the 9-year-old boy who fights against leukemia

At first they told him he had pneumonia, but after he was discharged he suffered the same pain again. At that time, he was referred to Paraná, where he finally was diagnosed with Leukemia.

It changed our lives in a second, and little by little we adapted, ”said Guillermo Alem, Alejo’s father. “From there we are having a very difficult time … the chemo … he loses hair and goes through seizures”, She related about her son’s harsh conditions.

He added that “Now we are in a stage where the last chemo ended and we are waiting for the referral to the British Hospital in Buenos Aires. There, it is estimated that he will spend about a hundred days.

“We still don’t know when we will go to Buenos Aires, but These days you already have to know the date to go and install us, because once the chemo is finished you have a month to receive the transplant”Explained the Gualeguaychuense.

At this moment, Alejo is in Paraná with his mother, while Guillermo and Diamela, the 11-year-old sister, follow his evolution minute by minute from our city.

Consulted in ElDía desde Cero (FM 104.1) about what the doctors tell him, Guillermo indicated that “his marrow is not working, so we have to do a transplant, and (as possible donors) we are my wife, my baby and I; the last thing they have told me is that it is most likely Diamela, but there is still nothing concrete, “he said.

The solidarity of the people

The encouraging side of this difficult moment is the spirit of solidarity that emerged in this case, as in so many others. Quickly, from the Neptunia, Central Entrerriano and Youth clubs they made themselves available to spread the request for funds to pay for the treatments and fundamentally the transfer and the family’s stay in Buenos Aires.

In addition, renowned athletes have also joined the campaign, such as Facundo Campazzo, Carlos Delfino and “el Mono” Navarro Montoya, among others. “I was more excited than Alejo, then I explained to him who all these people are,” Guillermo said.

“I love people who want to help from any point, it’s incredible, all this empowers us and makes us understand that we are not alone”Said the Gualeguaychuense who gives physical education classes at the Independiente school and also conducts training for individuals.

He also stated that there are permanently friends “who speak to me and reassure me,” and he also thanked the NGO Donar en Vida for the various dissemination and collaboration campaigns: “they are always at the foot of the canyon,” said Guillermo.

I know that he will get out of this, I really want, and among all of us it is easier”, He concluded excitedly.
