CAN YOU PLEASE HELP?
Forget about One-In-A Million, Acacia Rizzo-Cugno is
One-In-Two-Million.
In March 2002, after years of being misdiagnosed, Acacia Rizzo-Cugno was diagnosed with
PRIMARY
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION
-an extremely rare, incurable blood vessel disorder of the lungs where the pressure in the vessels that lead from
the heart to the lungs is so high that it is life-threatening.
Despite trying every available medicine, including years of an extremely expensive experimental medication,
nothing has worked to control of her condition.
While most 16 year-olds are getting excited about driving and prom dresses,
Acacia and her mother and dad have just experienced the trauma of
DOUBLE-LUNG TRANSPLANT SURGERY
She's currently staying with her mother in a Pittsburgh hotel near the Medical Center
continuing to recover from this major surgery and some recent complications.

Her family's non-insured medical expenses continue to mount.
Acacia’s mom has had to stop working to take care of her, so the bills keep compiling, at home as well as at the hotel.
