My daughter suffers from this illness, she is only twelve years old. She was diagnosed in October 2006.

It was a terrible blow for me. She still is not fully conscious of what is happening, while I am devastated.

A month ago she started her treatment with folic acid and methotrexate.

It saddens me to see her desperation since her alopecia is becoming more and more pronounced.

I have a low income, since I work as a rural teacher, here in Chile. I really am desperate.
