From her mother:

Hi,

My Charmaine has just completed 3 out of 5 rounds of chemotherapy at NUH in April. Her doctor said that Charmaine has only 10% - 20% chance to live. I still feel very down and lost.

A few weeks ago, Charmaine's doctor told me that a drug in New York will double up her chance of survival to 40% - 50%. Suddenly, I saw a glimpse of hope for her. Unfortunately, the drug is not available in Singapore and is not yet approved in Singapore.

I, then, asked her doctor how much I would need to gather to bring Charmaine to Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre (MSKCC), New York for the drug. I was told USD $350,000 is required as the upfront deposit before treatment begins.

My glimpse of hope quickly vanished.I felt numbed...I just cried...

For I felt awfully helpless...Where am I going to find half a million Singapore dollars?!

Am I going to lose my daughter?

I don't want to lose my child...I want to try...I will never forgive myself if I do not even try...I shall try. I shall plead.

I plead with you to try to help me organise a private donation drive within your network of friends and working colleagues. You can choose from a range of fundraising ideas on Fundraising or come up with a fundraising idea of you own. Please pardon me for making this challenging request unto you. As a mother, I must try for my child. I must try. I am really really sorry if I have been rude.

Please help me. I am desperate.

If you can help Charmaine's treatment with a private donation drive, please go to Fundraising to choose a fundraising idea and to fill in a simple form to start the ball rolling. I will be absolutely grateful!

If, for any reasons that you are unable to, do not feel bad about it. I understand. Nevertheless, I would still like to thank you for your time reading and considering fulfilling this special request.
