Urgent Appeal for Adik Mohd Syazwan Johari, 3 years old

Dear Friends,

I just want to highlight an urgent appeal for Mohd Syazwan Johari, 3 years old will be going to seek a very urgent cancerous right eye treatment at Wills Eye Hospital,Philadelphia, USA.He already lost his left eye due to retinablastoma. He will be accompanied by his blind mom and my colleague, Puan Fadzilah Wan, Volunteer Coordinator for MAKNA.

The trip is supposed to be funded by Ministry of Health Malaysia (for the treatment cost & lodging) and Yayasan Kebajikan Negara (for travel cost) and my organisation, The National Cancer Council MAKNA (for daily stipends). We already making the arrangement with Malaysian community in Philly to help out with food and winter clothing during their stay for 18 days course of treatment.

However we received a very bad news today when Ministry of Health of Malaysia didn't approved the funding for unknown reason. He is supposed to go last Sunday 10th Dec.Now without the funding, the trip looks bleak.Still, we believe it can be done.

What they need:Funds of USD12,500 or RM50,000 for the treatment cost. The rest is covered by MAKNA and Yayasan Kebajikan Negara. Just the treatment cost.

What you can do:
Help to fundraise for this young boy.

Every dollars and Ringgit counts!

Help to spread the word!

You may donate directly to Syazwan through his Mum's Bank Account:

ANGKASAONE: I have met this lovely boy and his family at their home in a Flat at Kota Damansara early this year and had the opportunity to meet him and his family again at MAKNA HQ a few days back.

Syazwan's parents are both blind. Syazwan and his parents rely on his sister which is still in primary school, to go to the market and do daily chores. I appeal and invite you to come forward and help. Give Syazwan a chance to live a normal life...

Lets spread the word and do what we can to save Syazwan... Insya-Allah.
