Please read this. It's very important.
Zaneta Rutkauskaite
Dear people,
Sorry for bothering you, but it's really important to me.
Hope always dies the last. That's why I brought myself to address you for
help. I am the only daughter in the family. I am nineteen. Although I am a
first-year student of architecture specialty, I can't study so far, as for
already one year and half owing to the illness I am in Vilnius Santariskes
University Hospital.
My diagnosis is acute lymphoblastic leukemia; pre-B, 1st bone marrow and CNS
relapse. The ALL pre-B, CALLA + was diagnosed in September 1998. As it is
hard to understand all the medical description of my diagnosis, please find
the exact characteristic in the end of my letter.
I am treated with chemotherapy. After each course I feel extremely bad, as
chemotherapy emaciates my young organism very much. Bone marrow
transplantation with the help of donor is necessary to me by all means. Such
operations when there is no donor and he can be a brother or sister are not
performed in Lithuania. If such an operation is not performed to me, my life
as doctors forecast may be over in three years. Operations of such character
are performed in European countries. But a lot of means is necessary for
that. Although my both parents are working, we will never be able physically
to collect such a sum of money that may be necessary for performing the
operation. (If anybody reading this letter could make a donation of even a
little part (be it one dollar or so), I would be very grateful for your
understanding and help.
I beg you, don't be indifferent to my disease, don't take away from me the
last hope to enjoy life, to see the spring sun not only through the hospital
windows, some time if it will be destined to experience the most wonderful
woman's feeling - motherhood:
