5 year old, Yarelis Bonilla suffers from high risk acute lymphocytic leukemia. Her 7 year old sister, Gisselle living in El Salvador is the perfect match for a potential life saving bone marrow transplant; however, she has been denied a visa into the United States twice by the American Embassy. Yarelis is being treated in Newark Beth Israel Medical Center. The fear that the 7 year old recipient of the visa will not return home is disgraceful considering the critical circumstances. I am petitioning on behalf of the Bonilla family to grant a temporary visa to Gisselle to save Yarelis.

Let her in. It is a medical emergency for crying out loud. The rules should not apply when a childs life is on the line.

This is completely heartbreaking. How can they turn away a little girl trying to save her sisters life. Shame on the embassy for being so heartless.
