Vilma Serrano and her family need our help.
Vilma has end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and requires hemodialysis. According to doctors at Toronto General Hospital, a transplant from a living donor could improve her length and quality of life. Without a living donor however, there is a 10 year waiting period for a kidney from a deceased donor. Vilma has already been waiting 3 years.
Her friends and family have been able to locate a donor - a family friend from their native El Salvador. Despite the letters of support from Toronto General Hospital, their local MP Andrew Cash and the assurances on the part of the Serrano family that they will cover any and all expenses for the donor, he has been denied entry to Canada.
This decision is unjust and inhumane. Vilma Serrano, a Canadian Citizen deserves a chance to live. Her family needs our support.
Tell the Canadian government to allow the donor, Guillermo David Martell Novas into Canada in order to give Vilma and the Serrano's their life back!

We, the undersigned ask the Parliament of Canada and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration in particular to use their power through a Ministerial Intervention to allow the donor, Guillermo David Martell Novas into Canada to act as a kidney donor for Vilma Serrano.
