Please Help Us To Save Ana

I am posting this on behalf of our friend and longtime administrator/moderator, Pete Senarighi (CompguyPete). If you visit webedeveloper.com, or virtualdr.com, you most likely know him.

In June of 2006 Pete learned that his 11 year old daughter, Andriana (or Ana), has a brain tumor, and that because of its position and intertwining with the brain and brain stem, it is inoperable.

Therefore, the only treatment option open to them is chemo-therapy. Unfortunately, being self-employed, Pete does not have health insurance, and is currently faced with more than $25,000 in medical bills from the battery of tests performed, which he simply does not have the means to pay.

Andriana has begun chemo-therapy, and Pete has applied for various types of financial assistance, but these are by no means guaranteed, nor are they timely solutions, so we are asking those who visit our forums if they would like to assist.

Toward that end we have set up a paypal account and secured a domain name, oneana.com, where visitors can make donations via paypal, and help this family through this very difficult time. Thank you.

Sincerely, JPnyc

Yes, caught up on that last night JP, brought a tear to the eye...

Pete is a great contributor to the tech community. Thanks for posting the info and link.

It's the very least I can do.

I just made a $50 donation, and hope to send more in the very near future. I will also keep her in my prayers.

Thank you so much. Pete and I hope to post the current progress sometime today. I greatly appreciate everyone's involvement, and I know Pete's family does

[JPnyc]

Thanks again, folks. I've added a visual meter to track the progress, to Pete's/Ana's page.

JPnyc,What a great thing you are doing.God Bless all our children.They are the
true jewels of the world. Like Platypus said"Tear to the eye."

Is there going to be a way to mail money orders?I only deal in cash ,check,and
Money orders.Perhaps you could add a PO box or something.

Charge cards and such frighten me to say the least.You know,been there ,done that.

Thanks, but I'm not doing much. Yes, you can donate any way you like except credit cards. That requires processing that we haven't set up. If you click http://oneana.com/ways-to-donate/ Which says "Ways to donate" you'll see the info needed. Thanks!
