My cousin Becky has done missionary work in Kenya over the years. Her friend Johnstone is the principal of a school there and his son was recently diagnosed with aplastic anemia. It sounds like the treatment for this is similar to mine - a bone marrow transplant. Unfortunately, Johnstone's family does not have insurance and they need to travel to India for the treatment.

I am incredibly fortunate to live near to Madison and have access to high-quality care, in addition to having great health insurance. The idea of dealing with this disease without such resources must be terrifying. Becky and her friend Tracy have created a Go Fund Me page to help out Johnstone's son Andrew: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-save-andrews-life-in-kenya. My hope is that together we can assist Andrew get the transplant he needs.

Thanks,
Joe
