I do so much for major causes and love the work I do, but whats the point of having a fundraising non profit organisation if I cant help a mate?
I have a friend who at a very young age has had to suffer more than I ever have had to endure in my life. Despite immense times of fear and desperation and not knowing what the future holds, whether everything will come crashing down within a day and hearing the news that there is no more that can be done, he continues to have the lightness of spirit and the love for others and he still send me an SMS telling me to have a good gig …. what a guy !!!
Professional hairstylistBarry Portelli, lives in Malta and was diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma in 2012. Ewing’s Sarcoma is a malignant small, round, blue cell tumour. It is a rare disease in which cancer cells are found in the bone or in soft tissue. The most common areas in which it occurs are the pelvis, the femur, the humerus, the ribs and clavicle (collar bone). He has endured more than 7 rounds of chemo, had operations and radiotherapy and although things are looking positive regarding his progress he is still undergoing loads of hospital trips not to mention many other specialist appointments.
Recently some of Barry’s friendshave writtento me asking me if I can help as last year his car burnt out andthe great amount of travelling that is being done for treatment is placing him and his mother under an extra amount of unneeded stress. So myself along with his friends thought maybe we could get some money together and treat him to a car so that he can have somethinguseful that will ease the travelling to and from hospital. Another friend in Malta is in touch with acar dealershipthat willgive a generous discountas his case is well known there.
So the rest is up to you …. if you would love to help me do something nice then please donate, if not then that’s cool too. I just hope that if ever I feel life is too much and I need someone and something to help me keep going and for that someone to give mea reason also.
Thank you for your time.
