Dear Klal Yisroel,
My name is Penina Naftalin. Our Zevi, who is now six years old, has been fighting sarcoma cancer since he was only two. Keeping Zevi alive has required many procedures and used all of the resources we could have possibly had, but of course, we would give anything to save our little boy.
Now, after four years of chemotherapy and pain, the cancer is again not responding to treatment. B”H the doctors have found one drug that is effective in curing the cancer, and Darchei Miriam was able to get the us the first round of the *very expensive* drug for free, from a family whose father was prescribed it but later died. The cancer responded very well and it gives us hope of being able to save our son’s life. Now he needs a second and third round of the drug – but the health insurance is not willing to cover the very high cost.
This has already been proven to work for him and will save his life if we can pay for it! We have no way of affording the trip or the procedure itself. This is mamash pikuach nefesh!! Please, please help us. We are truly desperate. He is only 6. We must find a way to give him the rest of his life, to see what he can grow to be, to give him a chance to live.
If you help, Hashem should bless you and your family with health & parnassah
Thank you.
Penina Naftalin & family
