Help Save Serena - help needed now.. Time is running out

Time is running out for Serena. It has been about five weeks now since the initial story broke about the return of Serena's Neuroblastoma, which my beautiful daughter Serena was first diagnosed with about 18 months ago. She is currently receiving chemotherapy, but this is only to prolong her life, and to make her strong enough for pioneering treatment in America.
Serena is stable at the moment and on medication throughout the day.
The situation is getting very desperate. Her only chance is to go to America but it's about trying to get the money in time to get her there..

I'll help spread the word also, and if I can spare a little this month I'll help out there to. Good luck, I hope you raise the money and get the help needed.

Hi! I just posted an appeal for help for Serena in my blog.

May I also suggest that you visit this blog:http://thepioneerwoman.com/ and make an appeal there. you will be reaching a wider audience through her blog as she has 25 thousand readers a day. She is also a parent and perhaps, she will be kind enough to help you.

besides, she reads her readers' comments regularly.

sorry that this is all I can do to help.

God bless you richly.

Hi I really felt sorry for your daughter. I know the feeling because I have two kids of my own. By the way Have you consider trying St. Jude hospital in Tennessee here in United States. I think they wont charge anything for the treatment and they will give your child the treatment that she need. I help you encourage my visitor to help out financially too..

Sorry for you troubles, contact St Judes. It's my understanding they help with all costs including travel!

Hi There, After trying to find a way to help, I decided to use earnings i make online to help Serena. It requires a teeny but of effort from other bloggers but I think if we really try we can come up with a good bit of money to try and help. Not near what you need but as you said every little bit helps. To see what i've devised, you can go to my post at http://accordingtonessa.blogspot.com/2008/06/helping-serena-please-read.html to get more details. This place pays me every 2 weeks. I wish I could do more but as i said, i think that if enough bloggers will get involved it could help a bit. I hope you don't mind me setting this in motion before asking your permission. I simply feel that this can be mine and other bloggers way of really being able to help your sweet baby.

You, Your family and certainly Serena are in my prayers.

I have donated $1. I'm sorry I can't donate more. We're months behind in rent and can barely afford food for ourselves, so I hope the $1 helps. Just think how much you'll have if every person who visits this site gives you a dollar.

Hi there,

A concern person send me this mail so I forward this to you. I made a post about your child and this person found it through google search.

I would advise you to check this as soon as possible.

I wish you could also show your email address or contact number on your blog.

Thanks and hope this could help.

Regards,
Angel

Hi,
I was looking for Serena's father's email. I can't find it. Do you know if they've been in contact with www.2simpletrust.org who help UK families to fundraise for treatment abroad?

I have a child under treatment in Vermont, although we are from the UK, and would be happy to speak to them, or give advice if necessary. We too continue to fundraise to pay for treatment, but without a doubt, our son would not be alive now, had we remained in the UK.

I would be grateful if you would ask the father to liaise.

Regards,
Aiobhean

I hope she will be well soon. I know this is going to sound odd, or weird, or whatever... but please take this in. In fact, you may have heard about this already.

There is one fact about all kinds of cancer, and if you don't believe me, this was published in medical journals years ago.

Change her PH.

Everyone's PH balance teeter-totters between being acid or alkali... cancer thrives in an acid PH. Inversely, cancer absolutely cannot survive in an alkali PH.

If you PH is alkali, cancer shrinks away, dies off, and ceases to exist. It is a fact. RESEARCH IT.

There are many ways to affect your PH into the alkali end of the spectrum.

It's simple, it's true, and it's a fact you can research.

This can be (and should be) done in many ways - from what you eat, to how you feel (feelings of happiness, excitedness, etc.).

This isn't fiction, it's fact.

PLEASE, research it.

No, I ain't a doctor.

No, I'm not a recovered cancer patient.

Yes, I know what I'm talking about.

Why should you believe me?

You shouldn't.

Really, you shouldn't believe me.

You should research this yourself.

Have her keep her calcium intake high (preferably using a coral calcium product), soak up vitamin D from ample sunlight, and get her PH balance on the alkali end of the spectrum.

RESEARCH THIS SUBJECT.

May the Great Spirit smile on her, you, and all your loved ones ^_^

Hello. Please give an update. My daughter also has Neuroblastoma. We've been dealing with it for about 3 years now. But they didn't really find it until last year. We wasted 2 years because the doctors said she was just overweight.

Dylan Hartung said...

I just found your blog and will mention it on Dylan's website to help spread the news, all our love & prayers to you. We are Australians who also had to raise money for treatment here in America, so far my son has gained almost 4 more years of life thanks to the hospital here in New York, in Australia he was only given 2-12 months to live.

Love & Hope
