As most of you know, Abel and I have been helping a little girl called Amna that has leukemia since September. We managed to find funds for all her medical costs since September, as well as building a strong support network in France, England and the USA. We also managed to find support for an eventual coming of Amna to France for her bone marrow transplant. The ex-French President himself committed to helping us bring Amna to France for her transplant. We have several organizations in France providing us with financial and emotional support (Together against Leukemia is one of them), as well as recognized doctors willing to help Amna.
Around two months ago, Amna was at her best and the doctors in Penang, Malaysia, where she's been treated, told us that she had managed to battle the disease. Even our French leukemia specialist who was helping us said Amna might not need a transplant after all.
Unfortunately, Amna had to be rushed back to Penang on Saturday because she was not feeling well. We learned yesterday morning that Amna has two months to live if she is not transplanted. We are "re-activating" all our networks in France and are hoping we will be able to organize this quickly enough.
We need money to
1. finance her trip to Singapore to undergo full check up by a doctor
linked to our doctor in France.
2. finance an eventual trip to France even though our friends and
family will host the family (Amna and one parent) and provide them
with food
2. In the worst case, finance Amna's family's trips to Penang in the
coming two months.
That is why we are asking you for a big favor: help us mobilize people around Amna. I know it is always delicate to ask money to people, but if we can all sensitize a few friends and collegues around us and raise a few funds, we can do a lot to help Amna. If each one of us gives a little, it makes a big difference.
I have many pictures and reports about Amna I could forward. As we are in an emergency, I have not taken the time to print or send them. Everything is transparent and all donors can check our finances. We also have a special Bank Account at Band Mandiri for Amna: you can contact me directly for the Bank Information.
