"I ask her to save my life": the appeal of Simona, orphan and suffering from cancer, who is looking for her natural mother to receive therapy

    Daniela has a tumor, her mother's genetic map is needed for immunotherapy and she is an orphan. Here is the appeal.

    Don't store avocado like this: it's dangerous

    He has a tumor and is undergoing experimental therapy, but to do this he needs genetic mapping. The problem? IS orphan and so he must necessarily find his natural mother.





    She is Daniela Molinari, 47-year-old psychiatric nurse and mother of a 23-year-old girl and a 9-year-old girl, who launched her appeal from the pages of La Provincia di Como:

    “I'm not asking her to know who she is, or to know her if she doesn't want to. I only ask that you agree to undergo a blood draw that could save my life “.

    At birth it was left to the orphanage of the Rebbio nuns, who registered it as Daniela Simoni, surname changed when two years later she was adopted by a Milanese family.

    Three years ago she fell ill with a tumor that resists traditional treatment. So the doctors offered her to try an experimental therapy, for which, however, it is necessary genetic map of one of the parents.

    “That's why I thought of making an appeal through the newspaper: I know very well that the chances of tracing my natural mother are very few, but I don't want to leave any stone unturned. I know almost nothing about my birth: I know the date, March 26, 1973, I know where I was born. I know there was a certain Sister Second at the time, but they told me she died. I was baptized in an orphanage and registered as Daniela Simoni. I don't know if my mother or the sisters chose my name, but I do know that that day a boy was also born, also abandoned, to whom they named Simone Danieli, the opposite of mine “.

    But behind her, Daniela's mother did not leave any element that would allow her to be identified: "Unfortunately - we read in the newspaper - not only did she choose not to have her name transcribed in the documents, but also asked to delete the health data, which then it could have been done and today not anymore. So the way of requesting the consultation of my file, which I have also undertaken through the judicial authority, will probably lead to nothing. I have already informed informally that on the papers, filed in the provincial administration after the closure of the orphanage, my mother's name is not there. Another dossier should be deposited at Sant'Anna, I will request it but bureaucratic times are slow and there is not necessarily what I am looking for ".

    Hence his appeal to the woman who gave birth to her.



    “I'm not asking her to know who she is, or to know her, if she doesn't want to. I only ask that you agree to undergo a blood draw that could save my life “.
