My name is Candace Jansen I'm currently residing in South Africa with my mother and 3 daughters. I am a single and at this present moment things are not going well. The reason why I say so is my family and myself just found out that my daughter Ashlynn has cancer on her spine as well as on her brain!
My daughters eyesight has also been affected!! For me as a parent to see my little girl suffer like this is heartbreaking because I feel helpless and powerless.

I would like it so much if my daughter could get treatment at you facility! I'm not working at the moment so it be costly for me to get there.. Please help me!!!

Kind regards
Candace Jansen

Hi @twinklez15 Candace,
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. Children should not have to suffer. I know you would exchange places with her in a heartbeat if you could.

You can find out more information about possibly seeking care at Mayo Clinic by going to this website
International Patient Services https://www.mayoclinic.org/departments-centers/international/appointments
It also includes information about applying for financial assistance.

Do you know what type of brain or spinal cord tumor she has? Is she being seen by a specialist where you live?
