Caesar was born in Providence, RI in 2008. In 2010 his parents moved to Winston-Salem, NC and in March 2019 they moved to Memphis, TN, in order to finally  stay close-moving  ahead – to a  bone marrow transplant center.  He began learning violin at age 2 and as a toddler amazed his music teachers with his advanced natural abilities. But after 4, in a span of over two years, he suffered three debilitating strokes due to an anemia –sickle cell – that he was born with. Then, The third stroke (2014) left him unable to walk or play the violin. It literally almost killed him; he had to relearn pretty much everything. Through God’s hands, folks from different faiths/believes, countries, joined on board that together made our hopes real and our believes stronger so that Caesar great overcome. Then, about two years of that, he met the great violinist, Mr. Itzhak Perlman, in Virginia, and played Thais/Jules Massenet to him.

A week before this Christmas, we got home (Memphis/TN) with a healed Caesar Sant. Above all, it is important to highlight that he never stops smiling. I guess it’s proof that it’s worth being happy.

Now, we have to reload our tools to help Caesar’s sister, Maria-Anita, who was born with the same blood disorder, though she has been doing ok. However, she needs a bone marrow transplant as well because next month she will be 12-yr-old, and sickle cell anemia has a trend to show up its aggressiveness  while the person is getting old. Yes, we do not have the fundamentals  for this needy, a donor.
