Father: Please
help my son |
 Port of Spain, T&T,
January 5 2008:
Even as fund-raising activities continue, the father of three-year-old
Kamal Ali on Thursday appealed for "the authorities to give
an urgent helping hand" to allow his son to receive life
saving surgery.
Kameel Ali told Trinidad & Tobago Newsday on Thursday that
it has been an uphill battle trying to get surgery since Kamal
was diagnosed with transposition of the great arteries (TGA)
at the age of 14 months.
While acknowledging the Health Ministry's assistance getting
Kamal free caterisation last month, Ali said more help was needed.
Cardiac catheterisation involves the a think plastic catheter
passed through the chambers of the heart and is used to get information
about the heart. The procedure confirmed that Kamal had TGA.
Caribbean Heart Care (CHC) which is based at the Eric Williams
Medical Sciences Complex has recommended that Kamal be sent abroad
for surgery as the Intensive Care Unit back-up to support him
was not available locally and the case was "expected to
have a very stormy post operative period."
The cost of having heart surgery to correct the birth defect
has been estimated at US$30,000 if done in Canada or Venezuela.
The account established to collect funds for Kamal's heart surgery
is Republic Bank account #180468366031.
Urgent help
needed for five-year-old
suffering from leukaemia |
Georgetown,
Guyana, December 10, 2007: The Central Islamic Organisation of Guyana is
kindly asking the general public for generous contributions towards
enabling a bright future for five-year-old Rebecca Baksh who
is suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.
Rebecca resides in Cornelia Ida, Seaview, West Coast Demerara.
Her guardian is Hafeez Baksh who is employed as a cane harvester
at the Uitvlugt Estate, West Coast Demerara. A payment of TT$133,215
is the estimated cost for treatment, but the parents can only
afford to make a payment of TT$40,000.
Hence TT$93,215 which is equivalent to GUY$ 3,029,487 is still
required. For
