Need Help...

The post below is taken from an email sent to me by a friend. This is no joke and I sincerely hope that every reader of this blog will offer his/her help one way or another. Thanks.

Dear Friends!
The girl you see is the two-year-old daughter of the physiotherapist Mr. Moe. He is working in the center for people with handicap, where Benedikt and I are volunteering.
The girl’s name is Pandora.
Mr. Moe is from Myanmar and works in Malaysia because here, he is able to earn a bit more money for his work.
Reason for that is that his daughter has Thalassaemia, what is a sickness of the blood. It means that less hemoglobin is produced and / or too much is being degraded.

For saving her life, a bone marrow transplant is absolutely necessary.
A surgery like that costs about RM300.000 to RM400.000 . This is a very high amount that no ordinary working man is able to pay. Mr. Moe will have to sell all his properties in Myanmar and even that will only be a small part of the financial effort.

Because of that, Benedikt and I have written to different organizations like
”MC Donald’s”, ”TDH”, “ ”Ein Herz Fuer Kinder”, “Myanmar Kinderhilfe DE” and many other. The only good response came from the German newspaper “BILD”, that is willing to give financial help as soon as one third of the whole cost for the surgery is arranged.

For donations in financial form, Benedikt and I have opened an account here in Malaysia. The account will be given to Mr. Moe as our voluntary work ends on august 17th 2009.

We are also looking forwards to information about organizations that we maybe have forgotten.
