A story marked by adversity… and hope
Aura Castro didn't have an easy childhood. She was born with sickle cell anemia, a genetic condition in which red blood cells take on a sickle shape, making it difficult for them to circulate throughout the body. This means less oxygen, fewer nutrients, more pain... and a life full of challenges.
From a very young age, Aura experienced firsthand what it meant to live with a chronic illness. Constant fatigue, frequent infections, swelling, brittle bones, sweaty feet, and cold hands were part of her daily routine. Her reality was a limited life, marked by suffering.
But the story doesn't end there. Rather, that's where it begins.
