Three-month old Andrew was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia 2 weeks ago at UF Shands. The tragic news was devastating to mom Jing Hu who is a post-doc at UF Soil and water Science Dept, and dad Like Li who gradauted from UF Dept of Mechanical & Aerospace Eng. and is a post-doc at University of Pittsburgh.

 Andrew is a brave and happy boy, with daily chemo therapy, he suffers unthinkable pains at his young age, the youngest leukemia patient . Unfortunately, his illness requires 2-3 years of chemo therapy with ~50% survival rate.

The parents are not only under tremendous emotional stress but also dire financial situation.  Baby Andrew needs your help so he can grow up to see the world.  The family would greatly appreciate your financial help to establish baby Andrew's leukemia fund.  Let us all work together to help save baby Andrew who will be a miracle baby when he grows up.  You have three options to help:

1.     Make a transfer at Bank of America through Jing Hu’s mobile number [phone redacted];

2.     Send a check to Jing Hu at 299 diamond village Apt 3, Gainesville, FL 32603;

3.  Donate via Gofundme, which charges 5% fee.  

(Since the parents will be busy taking care of Andrew in the hospital most of the time, their good friend, Xiaolin Liao, will help them organize the fund transfer from Gofundme)
