Hong Kong Babies



The 7 year old daughter of a family in Hong Kong just been diagnosed with leukemia. The family also has a 5
year old and a 9mth old and they live on one of the outlaying islands
1.5hrs away and do not have a family support system here.

At the moment the entire family, including the helper, is staying in a small hotel
room near the Queen Mary. As one parent must be with her 24hrs a day
(she is going through chemo and is quite ill), the parents are taking
turns at the hospital and going back and forth to the hotel and out to
buy food/take care of the 2 other children,  but by Friday they will
need to check out because they don't have enough money to continue this
way for the next few months. Anne and Jay want to take Sarah back to
the US for treatment but at the moment she is not stable enough to fly
and their insurance does not cover a medical evac.

They are in a very difficult situation and need support of any kind. Jason and I have made
a donation to their family and a fundraiser is being organized but what
they really need is a place to stay
. If you (or someone you know) knows
of a vacant place where they can stay in the pokfulam or central area
please let me know so I can forward the information to the family.
