Community Rallies to Fulfill Wishes of 5-Year-Old Battling Stage Four Neuroblastoma

Nearly one hundred thousand euros collected in a few days to fulfill all the wishes of Sara, the 5-year-old girl from Faenza suffering from stage four neuroblastoma for whom treatment has been suspended. The tumor is irreversible, and when the doctors decided not to further exhaust her by intensifying therapy, the little girl's father shared the family's wish: "We will make her enjoy all the time that God wants to grant her by having fun and taking her to the places she desires." Starting today, thanks to a fundraiser that saw participation from all over Italy, the first items on Sara's wish list will begin to be checked off. On the Facebook page "Santa Claus for Children," managed by a volunteer, it was announced that the set goal was reached and the fundraiser was closed. The collected funds will now serve to fulfill Sara's wishes: from a trip to Disneyland to a horseback ride, from a helicopter flight to a photo shoot. Elettra Lamborghini will fulfill the wish of Sara Cantagalli, the 5-year-old girl who cannot treat her tumor: "I will take you horseback riding." Fundraiser concluded In the post published on Facebook by the "Santa" of children, it is specified from which channels the donations come (a specific Iban and two collections on GoFundMe, one in the name of the father and one of the mother of Sara) and what will happen from now on: "From this moment, Sara will be gratified in everything." The accounts The post reads: "Good evening everyone, I am very pleased to announce that Sara's wishes have all been fulfilled, and that the total collected is €117,433 divided as follows: GoFundMe Mom Maria €6,440; GoFundMe Dad Mattia €78,793 (the other money present on the account was prior to the collection of wishes and we rightly did not count it); Iban in the name of Mom Maria for the collection of Sara's wishes 'Santa Claus for Children' €32,200. For maximum transparency, mom and dad have already sent the request for the Visa Mooney account statement and in the next few days as soon as we have it, I will put it on the page while for GoFundMe you can easily see it because scrolling there are donations with date and amount with the name of the donor." "Therefore, all accounts in the name of the parents concerning Sara will be closed between today and tomorrow, technical response times of GoFundMe and Mooney. I invite you not to make more payments because the goal is reached. From this moment, no more payments will be accepted on the mother's account because the money collected will only serve for Sara's wishes and to buy what she will want in the places she will go, like toys or something else, and in the following days, the GoFundMe accounts will be closed," continues "Santa". Sara's wishes "I want to thank all of Italy for being close to Sara and her family, because no one would have ever imagined that the list could be closed in such a short time. Now the parents of Sara and I will draw up the calendar of all the dates, we have also given the opportunity to people who wanted to repeat more than one wish, like horseback riding, the helicopter, the party with many children, the castle and the photo shoot. For correctness, I also tell you that, if Sara should have any other wish, we will communicate it to you, assuming that there are no more funds, and that Sara from this moment will be gratified in everything. She does not always have good days because the pain bothers her, so we will "dose" the events based on her condition and they will be carried out in the order she decides. Every time there is a wish, I will put the photo for transparency. "Now we have to think about entertaining our and your princess Sara, because she deserves to be happy, and I will not leave her for any reason in the world and as long as she wants I will be close to her, whatever happens and at any cost. I will tell her that thanks to many good elves she will fulfill all her wishes, and in this regard, I inform you that when Sara goes to Disneyland she will stay a few days longer because special people will take her around Paris and the most famous places. I REMIND YOU THAT AT THE REQUEST OF SARA'S MOM AND DAD, if the money collected should no longer be needed (we hope as late as possible) it will be donated to other children and families in difficulty, accounting for the remaining amount and to whom it will be donated.
