Subject: Andrea Needs Help
Hello everyone. I hope everyone is doing well. The reason for my writing is
to inform you that my good friend Andrea ?ACB? Bernal has undergone a
tremendous tragedy and needs our help. While painting in Brazil Andrea began
experiencing excruciating pain in her abdomen. Her friends in Rio de Janeiro
quickly took her to the hospital. At first, doctors thought she had an
inflamed tumor. Upon further examinations, she was diagnosed with both
stomach and ovarian cancer. Doctors had no choice but to immediately operate.
Her parents quickly arrived from Chile to be by her bedside. In the past two
weeks Andrea has bravely undergone surgery to remove the cancer from
spreading. She is now in Chile recuperating, literally holding her intestine
by her wayside. The incisions were drastic. Needless to say we are all
devastated by these events, but trying to be as positive as we can. I am
planning to go to Chile in 3 weeks to visit her.
What can we do to help? Any support would be helpful. An email, a phone call,
a letter. Her parents explained to me that the treatment for which she needs
to place herself in will take 6 months and cost $12,000. In Chile that is an
astronomical figure that no one can afford. Some of us have pledged to raise
money for her family. I encourage everyone to put out creative ideas that
serve a fundraising purpose. Through this ordeal Andrea remains in good
spirits and says what up to everyone. You can contact Andrea directly at
mundofelizdeacb@hotmail.com
Peace,
Vee
