Here is the solicitation letter that Job's parents have written:
HOPE FOR JOB: A CHANCE TO LIVE
Let me have a little time out of your day to read this earnest plea for help and spread the word
Dear _____________________________
Job Tyrese Feliciano, our first baby, was born in June 6, 2010 with BILIARY ATRESIA--a fatal, serious and rare liver disease that affects newborn infants (1 out of 15,000).
At seven months old, Job Tyrese's liver--and life--is at risk. His disease is caused by his liver not having bile ducts. The bile ducts should help the liver drain out bile to pass it on to the intestines for digesting food. As a result, the bile is trapped inside his body and this will cause liver scarring and loss of liver tissue/Cirrhosis. While the cause is still unknown, this disease is destroying his liver. Our son is jaundiced or has yellowish eyes and skin, his tummy is noticeably bigger than a normal baby, and his stool/poo is pale-colored. His digestion is poor that’s why he doesn’t gain weight that much.
At a tender age of two months, Baby Job already underwent Kasai procedure (Hepato-portoenterostomy)--a surgical procedure that temporarily provides a passage way of bile out of the liver. Unfortunately, the procedure was a failure. As a consequence his liver will eventually be damaged.
The solution the doctors came up with is through LIVER TRANSPLANT. The only curative management for Biliary atresia. The only option for baby Job. Unfortunately, the procedure can only be done in a hospital in Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and USA. More importantly, the operation costs some P3 million to P4 million specifically in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital in Taiwan.
It's a huge amount which our family does not have at this moment.
Myself and Thristian, my husband, are newlyweds and are earning just enough as nurses to support our daily needs and baby Job's medications. This is why we appeal to your kind consideration. Please help us raise funds for our son's liver transplantation. We will appreciate any amount from your kind heart. You can help us through donations:
