Let's save Johnny's eye

Johnny is a 19 months old boy from Poland .  Two months ago He was diagnosed with

retinoblastoma a very rare type of cancer which

consists of a malignant tumor in the eye. This type of cancer is

particularly dangerous, because it has the potential to spread to a child's

other eye, and even to the brain.   Johnny needs to receive treatment as

soon as possible, in the hope of saving his eye, and preventing the spread

of the cancer.  It would be a tragedy for Johnny to lose his eye or

completely lose his eyesight when treatment options are available.

 

Unfortunately, effective treatment for this type of cancer requires medical

procedures performed by highly specialized doctors in premier medical

clinics.  In Poland, where the treatment for this disease is not as

advanced as in the United States, the doctors want to simply remove

Johnny's eye to prevent the spread of the cancer.

 

However, we believe that there is hope for Johnny.  Dr. David Abramson at

Sloan Kettering Medical Center in New York City is one of the world's

leading physicians in this area.  He has treated many children with

conditions similar to Johnny's, and we are very optimistic that he can help

Johnny as well. But each appointment and treatment is extremely expensive,

and the Polish insurance system does not cover most of the sophisticated

treatments that are necessary to save Johnny's eyes.  The bill for Johnny's

treatment is likely to reach as high as US$150,000.

 

Johnny is our little angel, and we are working tirelessly to save his eye.

Please help our little boy to fight this terrible disease.  Join our fight

again cancer!  Any donation of any size is greatly appreciated. And please

spread the word as widely as possile about our cause.
