Baby Jhasper Formenza -(a child with biliary artresia)

[nelsababaard]

Hi I'm Nelsa Briones and I'm from the Philippines. While looking for a foundation that would help a child suffering from biliary artresia disease, I'm so blessed to find your website. Her name is Baby Jhaz Formenza ( you can check her on FB as baby jhaz formenza) and I just met his father last night when I attended an event. He is a waiter and I noticed that he was selling shirts with a print of his daughter. I was not able to get his name I just checked on the Face book of the baby. He said that the cost of surgery would be about Php 5700000 ($114000). I was so touched by the father's determination to raise fund for his child's surgery. When I asked him how much is his money now, he said, Php15000 or $300. This morning, I checked on the facebook of the child's condition and I saw him, very sick. As a waiter (not a regular job) because he is just a seasonal waiter (waiter on call if needed) . I donated a small amount but I know I cant give the amount needed for his son's operation. He said, the doctor advised them that the operation will be done in India, which is much cheaper than here in the Philippines.

Then I saw this foundation. I wrote this message, hoping this foundation could help a child live. I know that for the parents who are hopeful for their child to be well will do everything for their child. I hope to hear from you and I'm hoping for help for this kid.

Thank you and may the good Lord flourish your foundation with abundant blessings to help more people around the globe.

God bless you.
