Friends,
I rarely do this, but please take a look at the fundraising widget I just posted on the right side of this blog. There's a girl we know here who is in desperate need of cancer treatment and I'm trying to help the family raise the money needed to get her started on radiation therapy as soon as possible. She is 17 years old and was just diagnosed with nasopharyngeal cancer.
We are also looking for funds from local organizations but since her tumor is rapidly growing, we have a bit of time pressure. That's why I'm going to you at the same time we are looking for help locally. Plus, it is unlikely we'll be able to get the entire amount donated locally and will need to supplement it with funds from abroad.
When I had cancer at age 19, it was hard enough to go through diagnosis and treatment but at least my family had insurance that paid for nearly 100% of the medical care I received. My remission was not dependent on us affording good care. It saddens me that in addition to being faced with a life-threatening disease such as cancer, this family has the added burden of having to find money for the treatment needed to save her life.
Because she is a Compassion-sponsored child, Compassion was able to provide nearly $1,000 USD and that will go toward 7 weeks of chemotherapy. The radiation therapy is expected to cost $3,000 USD.
Here's a photo of her I took yesterday. We were able to help her get the CT scan and some meds she needed in order to prepare for treatment.
Please pray for her and her family and donate if you can. Thank you SO much. ~ Jen

You got it Jen!! Your dad and I are so very thankful to God for your life! I know that your presence in Anna Mae and her family's life is such a comfort for them. We will be praying for a complete healing for Anna Mae and for the funds to be raised quickly so she can get the best treatment possible.
Love you daughter!!!
Praying for Ana Mae--that God will heal her, bringing her a great calm and sense of his presence. Thanks for your involvement in her life. You are a blessing to us all!
