6-year-old needs help

MANILA, Philippines - Six-year-old Sofia Trisha Caceres, diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, underwent two major brain operations last November 2009.

Her doctors have advised her to undergo a PEG operation, which costs around P35,000, at the soonest possible time as part of her recovery and in order to prevent the onset of aspiration pneumonia. Sofia Trisha’s parents, both government employees earning less than P10,000 a month, appeal for assistance from kindhearted benefactors. For donations, please contact Marites Caceres at 0920-8775158 or deposit to her account with LandBank (Pili branch) at account number 2706-0407-33. Donations may also be channeled to Kids2 Foundation through Tess Bucayan at 532-6907 or 0917-8223520. Any contribution will go a long way in helping Trisha recover from her illness.
