This email was sent to me by my sister Dellone Pascascio, Cofounder The Belize Cancer Clinic of Dangriga. If you can help or will try, please call me at <br>Richard Wellington, 530-756-5005<br>Thank You <br><br>Hi, For the purpose of soliciting donation most of it is disclosable. I just got a call from home about a little boy, 9 years old who has Hodgkins Lymphoma. His family is dirt poor and lives in some remote part of Belize District. Since hearing the news of his diagnosis, they were devastated, terribly frightened and ashamed to ask for help. He wants to go to school but is too sick to pay attention. The lab and x-ray testing will cost US $ 500.00 ( Ellsworth and I have already committed to foot that cost) so he will begin radiology diagnostics to determine the stage of his disease and to eastblish his treatment plan.The chemotherapy and growth factor drugs will be about US $ 5800.00. ( 70 % below what it would cost if he had to do it in the US). If you can identify anyone in your area that would be willing to consider helping to offset the cost of his care, do let me know. This little guy and his family deservs a fighting chance at life and the Foundation will they to at least know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
