Mateo
Mateo is a happy two month old kid that brings joy and happiness to those who live around him with his special and unique smile.
Mateo has bright and lively eyes, full of the desire to discover the world
Mateo is a brave young hero, ready and willing to fight and battle leukemia
Mateo fights everyday, enjoying daily victories, and refusing to be taken aback by defeats. If he falls, he bounces back even higher and stronger, ready to fight harder because he knows that he needs to win this war against leukemia
Mateo is a shining example of love and the will to overcome difficulties, breaking down all types of barriers. He is the heart and soul of his family, brother and parents, showering us with smiles that give us the strength to keep on fighting every day with a big smile on our faces
Mateo has taught us to enjoy the small things in life, the everyday pleasures, filling our lives with love.
Mateo is unique and needs another unique angel somewhere in the world to continue living and share many more special moments with us
Your story has touched many hearts in the UK. As a new Dad myself to a 2 month old girl, I can only imagine how difficult this is for you. We wish you all the best and hope that Mateo battles through and lives life to the full. We’ll be spreading the word as much as we can for you and contributing to local charities who help children with Leukeamia. Best wishes, James & Muneeza
Thanks a lot James & Muneeza for your support and for helping spread the word 🙂
For all the Mateo’s in the world!!
as a wonderfully happy dad of a 3 yrs old girl, I do express all my deepest feelings of support for you. unluckily in Italy, it seems the Bone Marrow donation IS NOT possible, but maybe things ‘ll change. might our strenght give you an even stronger force to fight and win this terrible war.
Thank you Riccardo for your concern and support.
Although we don’t speak italian, we’ve found that in http://www.admo.it and it seems there you have all the steps and information that you need to be a donor in Italy.
We hope you find there all what you need to help Mateo and all the rest of people who need it.
Thanks again for your help and support!!
http://www.admo.it is available in Italian and by clicking on the British flag, drapeau Français or the bandera Española at the top of the page, it can be read in English, Français or Español.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I am praying as hard for your little one as I would if my own children were ill. I hope that helps. Sent with love, a mom (and registered marrow donor) in Canada.
Hi i am BLOOD TYPE O rh +, latino , i am not sure of the techicalities of bone marrow transplants but i am registered on bethematch in the usa , and if i could be a donor and a match to your son i would be happy to donate
Your son is beautiful and your story brought me to tears. I have registered for bone marrow donation because of your story. You will be in my thoughts and prayers until a donor is found.
I live in Panama, Central America. Would you know if I can get tested for Matteo here?
I live in Switzerland. Do you know if I can get tested here? I have two young children as well. If I am a match, I will do all I can.
.
Hope a donor comes along for Mateo soon. He is so beautiful. Best wishes.
I will pray for you baby.. Godbless you<3
Hi Matteo
I saw your picture on Yahoo. Your story has touched my heart, I have a baby girl (well she is 4 years now). Hope everything will be alright for you. I pray for you and your parents.
He is truly gorgeous. You would never know such a little person is having to take on such a big battle.
It doesn’t say if there’s a certain blood group that donors need to be to match Mateo. I know this is probably to try & get as many people to come forward as possible. And I know it’s selfish but as a Mother I would rather donate to a child such as Mateo, as they are still pro-life. They aren’t corrupted by this ignorant world that dehumanizes unborn/disabled or undefended for self gain.
My blood group is O Rh D negative, but I’m White British.
I’ve signed up, so even if I can’t give mine to you I may help someone else in the world one day. I hope my son never has to experience this ‘test'(?), and I wish you all the best, and really hope someone is found to help
I wish you all the best and really, really hope you’ll be helped. I already signed up, too…
I just signed up as a donor and ordered my testing kit. I am hoping, hoping, hoping Mateo will find his match, and keeping all of you in my thoughts.
I hope I am not too late. I have contacted the french donor association to ask them where I can donate in Italy. I’ve moved to Italy recently and have no idea where to donate. But I will try to be quick. I really hope little Matteo finds a donor soon. I have a 2 year old and a 8 months old and I can only imagine what you must go through. Your little Matteo is lovely and deserves to live a long live…
How stupid, I had not seen that the italian bone marrow association was actually already on your website! Thanks for that! Now I just have to stop breastfeeding (which I was planning to do anyway, but my little one is not very keen on the bottle. Anyway, this week-end we decided with dad we are going to be a bit firmer and I hope that within the next two weeks it will be done and that I can register just after that. Hang on there!
