Help give Eva a chance to live

This post diverges from writing, but the importance is high priority, so please read and help if you can.

Eva, an eighteen month old baby, needs surgery. Born May 4, 2009, in Minsk, Belarus, Eva has liver cirrhosis and is suspected to suffer from Alagille Syndrome, a genetic disorder that affects the liver, heart, kidney, and other functions. She needs a liver transplant as early as possible and her mother will be a liver donor. Her parents need help raising the money required to give Eva a chance to live.

Please visit http://www.healthybabyeva.org/ and help if you can. Please consider Linking this page to help with fund raising efforts. Some of the documentation is in Russian, but you can copy it for translation here, http://www.freetranslation.com/

If you have doubts that this may be a spam, there are links to relevant information about Eva on the website: her medical reports; a full list of every dollar received for Eva until now, the website of the hospital where her surgery will be performed, and coverage of Eva on Belarus TV.
