Hi,

My name is Moishy. I�m 6� and learn in 2nd grade.

I was born with a rare liver condition, and I have to take tons of yucky medicines and drops every day. They taste really bad, but I know that they�re keeping me alive, so a long time ago, I learned to just swallow them without saying anything.

In the last month, I heard lots of whispers about my �condition dee-tee-ree-or-ating. I don�t know exactly what it means, but I�ve been feeling really sick lately, and I know that my liver isn�t working anymore and that I need to have a liver transplant fast.

Everyone is careful not to talk around me, but I know that without the transplant, I�m going to die.

A liver transplant is the only thing that can keep me alive!

My mommy told me that after my transplant, I�ll come home healthy again! It�s not really again, because I was never healthy to begin with, so now�for the first time�I�m going to be healthy! I�ll finally be strong like all my friends, and no one will laugh at me anymore that I�m fat. I�m not really fat, it�s just that my body�and especially my stomach�are bloated with fluid and medicines.

Mommy also told me that after the transplant, I won�t have to take all those medicines in the morning. I also won�t throw up so much, and I�ll be like everyone else. I�ll be healthy, normal, with energy to run and jump and play. I�ve always dreamed of being healthy, and now, there�s finally a chance that it�s going to come true.

I was thrilled, and I thought that my parents would be thrilled too, which is why I didn�t get why my mommy has been crying so much lately. Every time she looks at me, she gets this sad, wistful look, and her eyes fill with tears. A few times, I woke up at night to feel her sitting on my bed, stroking me. Her tears wet my cheeks.

I didn�t understand why? Why wasn�t Mommy happy?

Last night, I found out why.

I woke up to get a drink, and I heard Mommy on the phone with my grandmother. She said that they�ve already used up all their savings, and that it could be that I won�t be able to have the transplant because they can�t afford it.

And then she said that she can�t stop looking at me, because she�s not sure how much time I have left to live if I don�t have the transplant.

Please! If you�re reading this, I need your help! I don�t want to die. I just started learning Chumash, and I want to have a 7 year old birthday. I have lots of friends and greatest brothers and sisters and grandparents, and the best, best, best parents in the world who love me so much, and they�re all be so sad if I die.

Think for a minute. What if I was your kid? Wouldn�t you do everything to save me? Wouldn�t you want people to help so I could have a transplant, so I could live?

So now think of my parents, and think of my family and friends, and think of me�Moishy.� I�m asking you from the bottom of my heart.� I really don�t want to die.

Please help my parents pay for my transplant! Even if you can�t give a lot, I�m sure you can give something! Maybe your donation will be the one that makes it possible for me to have the surgery, and�

Live.
