afrotc-l: Please help this boy.

["Boris Gordic" <borisgordic@hotmail.com>]

Greetings friends. Enclosed in this email is an urgent plea for help from a 
terribly deprived Uzbekistani child. Please read his moving story, and I'm 
sure you will find it in your hearts to aid him. Even if you are not able to 
help, please forward this email to as many people as possible, in the hopes 
that eventually it will fall into the hands of someone who can do something. 
To forward this mail to everyone you know will only cost a second of your 
time, and may save a young boy's life; what kind of person would not do this 
simple task?

Once again, I beg all of you to do whatever you can to help this most 
deserving of all children. We in the Uzbekistani community in London have 
done all we can to send him help; we are now obliged to call on whatever 
help we can. Take the time to read this letter, and do whatever you can.

Thank you friends.


>Hello. My name is Joseph, and I am eight years old. I live in >Paulograd, a 
>small and poor

>village in Uzbekistan. We are all so poor and have no food; but this

>is not why I am writing. I must bear this suffering along with the

>others. But unlike the other children, I was born without a body. The

>doctors tell me this is a rare condition known as Caputella

>Sinecorpula. There is an operation, but it costs so much money and we

>are so very poor.

>Instead of a body, the doctors gave me a burlap bag filled with

>leaves. This hurts me so much, as I do not have a heart and lungs and

>liver like the other boys, and the leaves are very dry and sharp. My

>mother loves me very much and is always hugging me, even though the

>burlap chafes her skin. My mother and I cry a lot.

>The operation to give me a body would cost five million dollars, but

>my mother only earns twenty dollars a month, and my father was

>exploded by a landmine last year. My mother works hard to raise the

>money, but it is too much. She cannot do it. And so I will die without

>a body. All I wanted was to be able to run about in the sunshine with

>the other children, and play soccer with them; but instead I have to

>stay inside and watch. If I go outside the wind might blow the leaves

>away.


>The doctor says that there is a hope for me; for every ten dollars I

>raise, I can put a prayer on the NASA space shuttle, so it will go

>into the skies, where the angels are. Please send ten dollars. I need

>it so much.
