This is not a hoax, just to be clear.

Mine’ is the daughter of Retha Vosloo, a single mom who has recently joined us at Hereford in the short term division. To say that Retha is having a very difficult time right now is a serious understatement, as her daughter Mine’ is critically ill.
Mine' has been diagnosed with a rare disease caused from a bacteria picked up a couple of months ago. It was caused by something consumed (fast food?), and as it takes 7 days in which to develop, it is impossible to pin point what it is that she ate that was contaminated. The end result is that Mine' is now only 1 in 5 of these cases around the World with this form of Haemolytic Uraemic Syndrome. She has been in the St Augustine Hospital with her mom right beside her each night for a full 8 months. (Since 27 September 2009).
In this time her kidneys have collapsed and presently in end stage kidney failure on Haemodialysis. Despite the use of repeated sessions of Plasmapheresis and Polygam she continues to have severe haemolysis and thrombocytopenia. In addition she has recalcitrant hypertension unresponsive to at least 4 antihypertensives given in impressive doses (equivalent to adult doses).
There is certainly hope and the drug been suggested to assist here is possibly the only medical option that she has at this stage. The drug is only available in Switzerland and is called SorarisR (Ecluzimab). The required dosage is 14 vials, and each vial costs roughly a whopping R70 000-00 ea. This equates to a total funding requirement of R980 000-00. To date +- R71 000 has been raised. Once paid in full the vials can be here within 3 days.
We would like to appeal to you to do whatever you are willing and able to do, which includes:
· Pray for Mine’,
· Contribution towards the required drug (no contribution too small),
· Fund raising participation (see www.dreamz7.co.za),
· Pass this e-mail along,
· Any bright fund raising ideas.
If anyone knows Damon Beard of East Coast (The Big Favour) or knows how to contact him, please let me know so that we can try and arrange for Mine’s case to be aired.
