An Angel with a Heavy Load on his Wings

This is Andrei Vince Macadat,only seven months old and already carrying a load too heavy for his age.His parents started to notice a lump on his abdomen four months ago that never ceases to grow with each passing day.They live in an island in the province of Masbate,which makes it hard for them to access medical help aside from the fact that they can hardly afford one.His father is a construction worker while his mom is a plain housewife.Whatever meager amount his dad is getting,is barely enough to bring food to the table to feed a family of four.

In the hopes to give Andrei the medical attention he desperately needs,his mother took a chance and flew to Manila 2 weeks ago,with just sufficient cash to pay their fare.With the help of a relative he was brought to the National Children's Hospital and was then diagnosed with Neuroblastoma.The doctors are requiring several tests including Urine Metal Analysis,CT scan and bone marrow test to check the extent of his tumor before surgery and/or possible chemotheraphy.One test alone costs several thousands and with his family's current financial status,they are in dire need of assistance.

So Im begging to the kindhearted souls out there,to please give this angel a chance to experience more,the gift and beauty of life.
