The Francesco Salerno Foundation

While medical care may be available in Europe, leukemia treatment often brings overwhelming additional costs:

• Medications that are not fully covered
• Travel expenses to and from specialized hospitals
• Accommodation costs when treatments require staying far from home
• Loss of income when working becomes impossible

Beyond the financial burden lies emotional pressure. Anxiety, exhaustion, uncertainty, and mental strain affect not only the patient but also partners, children, and parents.

The Francesco Salerno Foundation actively raises funds to:

• Support medication costs (partially or fully)
• Cover travel and accommodation expenses for hospital treatment
• Provide spiritual and pastoral care for patients and families
• Offer practical assistance where the need is greatest

We believe that care goes beyond medical treatment. True support includes emotional and spiritual guidance, restoring hope when strength fades, and being present in moments of despair.

Leukemia is not just a medical diagnosis. It is a daily confrontation with fatigue, uncertainty, and sometimes even time itself. It is waiting for test results. It is chemotherapy. It is holding on to hope when statistics seem discouraging.

We choose to stand beside the patient, not only financially, but with humanity, compassion, and spiritual care. We believe hope is a powerful force. When a family feels supported, they stand stronger.

Every contribution, large or small, helps someone who is fighting for their life.

• A patient can continue receiving necessary medication
• A family doesn't have to worry about travel costs to a specialized center
• Loved ones can receive spiritual guidance during intense stress
• Someone in their darkest days knows they are not forgotten

Transparency and integrity are central to everything we do. Donations are used purposefully and exclusively for people living with leukemia.
