A brain tumor threatens the life of two-year-old Liam - and doctors feel his last hope is an expensive medicine that public health insurance does not cover.
The required medicines are irinotecan, a chemotherapy agent, and avastin. Liam ben (son of) Liora must receive each one twice a month, at the prohibitive cost of 7,000 shekels (more than $2,000) each month.
Donations can be sent to the Kol Rina Foundation POB 706, Elkanah, 44814, or by calling 050-864-9982 (from abroad, replace leading zero with 972).
Chaim Didovsky founded Kol Rina as a conduit for "kindness and Torah precepts" following the terrorist murder of his wife Rina in the beginning of the Olso War in 2000.
