Help save my cousin's life

Daniel Chong is my cousin. He was diagnosed with hepatitis C in 2012. When Daniel was just a few years old, he had Leukemia.  He spent his childhood battling cancer. As part of his treatments for Leukemia, he was given chemotherapies and numerous blood transfusions. 

His cancer was in remission before he hit puberty.  Unfortunately, he contracted hepatitis C through one of the blood transfusions.  His illness was not detected until late last year.  Around March 2013, his illness progressed to the point where his liver is shutting down.  His doctor in Malaysia has put him on the waiting list for a liver transplant.  Finding the right donor is a long and complicated process.  In order to keep his liver functioning, his doctor wants to inject a potent antiviral serum into his body.  This antiviral medication will have a 60% chance of prolonging the life of his liver while he waits for a suitable donor. 

A liver transplant does not cure hepatitis C.  There is no cure for hepatitis C, sadly.  Daniel will have to continue his antiviral medications even after he receives a liver transplant.  Without the right treatments, his new liver will also fail. 

Daniel is a good kid and has always been a fighter.  He survived cancer as a child and I believe he will win this battle too.  His first round of antiviral medication will cost around 20,000Euros.

Many members of my family are helping financially and emotionally and I want to do my part.  I want to do as much as I possibly can to help Daniel.  Please help me raise 8,000 Euros for Daniel's medical expenses.  He is only 24 years old and he has so much to live for.   I want Daniel to know that his life counts and that people from all over the world support him, want him to get better and live a full life.

I'm asking your help to save a life and to make a difference. No matter how small your donation, it still counts!  If you're my friend and you're reading this, please consider donating to my cousin Daniel instead of buying me birthday or Christmas presents this year. I'll be very grateful for your help.  Thank you.
