After he saved her life, Carla Cappaverde decided it was time to return the favor: a moving story
A moving story that deserves to be told and that comes from Casaluce, in the province of Caserta. Carla Cappaverde is a 21-year-old girl who was rescued on Easter Sunday by a Firefighter named Francesco Di Somma.
It was Easter day, when Carla was at her grandparents’ house and she is plunged into a well of 20 meters. The grate gave way and the young woman suddenly fell. Fortunately, despite the well being disused, two meters of water mitigated the impact.
To his rescue that day, the Fire Brigade and a descend to her, it was Francesco Di Somma. The 21-year-old said that as the man went down the well with the harness, she continued to apologize for having ruined the Easter day and the Firefighter, to play down the moment, told her: “Now I come and take you by the hair”.
But why are we telling this story? Today, after some time, Carla Cappaverde has decided to return the favor and to save that hero’s life in turn. Unfortunately, Francesco found out he was suffering from Parasostic nocturnal hemoglubinuria. An acquired disease of clonal hematopoietic stem cells characterized by corpuscular haemolytic anemia, bone marrow failure and frequent thrombotic events. It affects one person in every 500,000. The Firefighter needs to weekly transfusions in order to stay alive.
When Carla read your appeal, she felt compelled to return the favor and say donate his blood. That man had saved her and now it was her turn to save him. Not only that, reading that request, that appeal, for the 21-year-old was like reading the words of help from a family member.
I felt displaced, I had a shiver as if the news were related to a family member. I imagine how she feels in this situation, she has two small children and I think she is not having a good time, so we have decided to take action to make our solidarity felt concretely. I will donate my blood, it’s the least my family and I can do for him.
