My Dog Diary

Slightly over a month ago, I was blogging about my cousin, Kavern, who was fighting with a rare cancer, Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma, and needed 120k for his medical expenses. Well, I received his thank-you note to those who have helped him from my mum about a month ago but somehow missed forwarding out the email.

So to those who have helped, thank you very much, from Kavern, and here is a note from him. I have tried to forward the note out to some of you, but just in case I missed out anyone.

Apart from that, I have to stop accepting donations for Kavern transferred into my bank account from today onwards. If you are reading this and are planning to donate, please write to me before you do so. The reason why is that, I’ve been receiving money from unknown sources for the past few weeks, and have been trying to trace who it’s from and what it’s for with no results. I can’t be accepting money in this way and I certainly do not want to mess up with my own money too. And of course, I do not want to mis-use anyone’s money. So please, do not transfer any amount of money to me without letting me know beforehand.

Once again, thank you very much for your help.

When everyone is working harder to earn more during this global economic down time, someone has been fighting, just to live.

About a year or two ago, my mum told me about a cousin of mine being diagnosed with a rare cancer, Mesenchymal Chondrosarcoma. Well, he is actually the son of my mother’s cousin. Mum updated us with his condition from time to time. Things got worse during the recent few months. The cancer struck back and he lost his right eye during a recent operation.

And that’s not the end of it. To undergo proton therapy as suggested by his doctors, he has to go to either China, Korea, or Japan as these are the only few countries equipped with this medical technology. The total cost of medical expenses goes up to RM120,000.

So the thing is, this is not a small amount of money. He has been on the newspaper appealing to the public for donation. You may read the articles here and here for more info.

There are many ways to help. If you are reading and would like to make a donation, please contact Datuk Michael Chong at 03-21618044, as shown in the above articles for donation. If you would like to write an entry in your blog, please also make sure to direct your readers to Datuk Michael Chong for donation. Please do not use my cousin’s condition to make fraud donation. If you are not sure, feel free to write to me.
