Dear Klal Yisroel,

I sit here in the children’s hospital room, and I watch my son Zevi’s pure face as he sleeps. Zevi is only 6 years old, but he has bravely faced death multiple times.

Zevi has been fighting sarcoma cancer since he was only 2 years old. A few days ago, the doctors found a drug that they medically proved compatible for Zevi. After years of not knowing how much time he had left, after all the tears and sleepless nights and close calls, his recovery is just within our reach, but after all these difficult years we simply don’t possess the funds.

I beg you from the bottom of my heart- Every day without this treatment is a day that cancer threatens to take my precious son away from me, and I won’t stop fighting until I get Zevi a chance to live. Please, think of a child you love, and help save us the irreparable pain of losing our own, and in that zechus Hashem should take away any pain you are in, and you should only have nachas and joy from your loved ones forever.

Thank you so much and Hashem should bless you,

Penina Naftalin & family
