Siti Aisya needs your help
Saw on Marina’s blog a sad piece of news regarding three-year old Siti Aisya, who has Fraser Syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes hidden eyes or webbing of fingers etc.
Originally from this post.
An excerpt:
Little Aisya went for surgery to create eyelids for her last December, using tissue from her lips. Unfortunately, the operation has backfired, because her eyelids have fused back together. Doctors have decided (this is according to Aisya’s mum) that there will be no more surgery for Aisya for another 2 years, as surgery is difficult for her young (and small) body and immune system. So it would be another two years before they re-attempt to create eyelids for her, and later, try and fit her with artificial eyeballs. That is the time when the family will need financial help the most.
Cash or cheque donations can go to her father

Dear Mdm Tai,
Unfortunately, I cannot give you the bank account number. Firstly I dont have it, and secondly, it would be risky. Im sorry, but there are unscrupulous people out there (not meaning any reference to you of course!) and I dont want their accoutn number to be misused and instead of them getting aid, they end up wiht an even drier well…
Could you not write them a cheque or money order? Im not familiar with oversea transactions though =)
Cheerio,
