The promise of Italian music, singer and piano teacher, Maddalena Imperato, with a career that was beginning to shine with her first successes, unexpectedly and in the most painful way saw her dream interrupted and all her hopes of success dashed.
After her pregnancy, Maddalena discovers she has Hodgkin's lymphoma, a relatively rare tumor of the lymphatic system. Hence the long ordeal, the numerous hospitalizations, the radiotherapy that does not give appreciable results, and then now the chemotherapy with all the painful physical and moral consequences for this young mother.
The expensive treatments are not fully subsidized by the National Health Service: these are essential and very expensive dressings (IV fixation dressings with chlorhexidine gluconate, produced by Tegaderm CHG, ref 1657 R dimensions 8,5 x 11,5 or 1658 dimensions 10 x 12) therefore a drama within the drama: not only the serious illness but also the difficulty in raising the necessary funds to purchase these dressings, which are also difficult to find.
An appeal was immediately launched online through our friend Ciro Sannino, who offered his TV presenter persona and his Postpay account for a fundraiser that has so far had no effect. Donations to Maddalena can be made to the Postpay account number 5333171042900981, registered to Ciro Sannino SNNCRI85L01F839J. The internet has often mobilized en masse, but so far it has been deaf to the cries of this mother who is trying not to die, who refuses to abandon this world, and above all, who refuses to abandon her little daughter.
Immediate help came from Giorgio Contovas, the Lega di San Giorgio a Cremano representative, who immediately took action to provide an initial supply of medical supplies at his own expense to address this serious emergency. After contacting several pharmacies and pharmaceutical representatives, he then provided this mother with an initial package of medical supplies to address the current emergency. "I hope for a speedy and complete recovery; Maddalena also has a small child to care for. The only joy in Maddalena's life is her little girl's smile, and this mother must not be left alone."
