I recieved this email - verified by my mom and sis. I dont usually do this, but felt the need to post this here. its in a section where it can be read by guests as well as members of imamother for obvious reasons.

------------ --------- --------- --------- -
My grandson has a terrible cancer called Neuroblastoma with
a poor prognosis. He is only 5 years old and his name is Zev Wolff from
Woodmere Long Island . Sloan Kettering hospital has developed a drug
that can give most kids a chance to beat this cancer but unfortunately,
Zev, and 60 other children like him, can't take this drug because it's
made from mice cells. His immune system quickly identifies the mice
cells as a foreign body and kills the drug before it gets a chance to
kill the cancer. My family needs to privately raise $3 million dollars
to pay a biotech company to humanize the drug.
Sloan Kettering won't give money since the humanized version of the
drug will only help 60 kids, Sloan needs to spend their development
money on this unique drug where they will have the most impact and that
is on the hundreds of other kids where the mice cells work.
So far we have raised almost 1 million dollars. We need to raise
another $2 million.
Our plan is to have as many friends as we can reach out to as many
friends as they can and raise the money that way. I want to know if you
could commit to recruiting ten friends to ask them to raise $1,000 from
among their friends. All they have to do is call ten friends and ask
for $100 each. That way your efforts alone will bring in $10,000. At
that rate we can easily raise the remaining $2 million dollars.
If you have more questions, I can send you a question & answer page.
Checks should be made out to ZEV'S FUND and mailed to me:

| Helen and Rannan are friends of ours. I can verify for this story, and that the funds are going where they are supposed to go. PM me if you have more questions.
