I cannot imagine the anguish this child and his family and friends are going through..
I will be sending a donation to the Hungarian Society of Massachusetts by week end as I live in New York and Massachusetts is the next state over.. just east of N.Y.
Also.. I went ahead and sent a copy of your message OP to the admins of:
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital

St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is known to the world to provide advanced medicine and treatment to children and their famililies who have little or no means to pay for such treatment...their mission statement says it all..I will paste it here:
"
St. Jude is unlike any other pediatric treatment and research facility anywhere. Discoveries made here have completely changed how the world treats children with cancer and other catastrophic illnesses.
We are where some of today's most gifted researchers are able to do more science, more quickly. Where doctors across the world send their toughest cases and most vulnerable patients. Where no one pays for treatment beyond what is covered by insurance, and those without insurance are never ask to pay. We've built America's 4th-largest health-care charity, with a model that keeps the costs down and the funds flowing, so the science never stops.
All patients accepted for treatment at St. Jude are treated without regard to the family's ability to pay.
I encourage everyone who reads this to e-mail St. Jude Children's Research Hospital by following this link:
http://www.stjude.org/contact
and requesting medical assistance for this child and his family.
If we all work together...maybe we can help this family and persuade St. Jude's hospital to perhaps bring this boy and his family to the United States for treatment and hopefully a cure.
it would only take a few minutes to e-mail St. Jude's
so please...do this...for this boy.
Thanks for taking the time to read this..
