Everyday health and beauty

Few days ago, I received an email from pelf. I think I should follow her footsteps to help Holly Alonzo. If you are kind enough to lend a helping hand, please read the following mail carefully:

Dear all

I am writing to you today to request for a small favour.

You see, Holly Alonzo is a 21-year-old wife and mother who has a genetic condition called Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (NF2). She has already lost the hearing in one ear due to the bilateral tumors on her hearing nerves. The tumor on her good ear is now growing and something has to be done soon. Holly is now hoping to get an Auditory Brainstem Implant (ABI). The implant will provide her with some auditory stimulation so that will not have to risk being completely blind AND deaf.

Yvonne Foong (a NF2 patient in Malaysia) and I have just launched a “One dollar campaign” to help Holly raise the funds she needed for an ABI. You may read more about the “Only a dollar” campaign here — Help Holly. Only a dollar! The essence of the post is that I would be extremely grateful if you could just donate ONE DOLLAR to Holly. One dollar isn’t too much to ask for, is it? But of course, you are most welcome to donate more if you wish.

But on top of that, I would like to request that you blog about it so that more people can donate to Holly
