We have very recently been informed that OHIP will assist in the cost of Dany's transplant operation. We are so thankful for this tremendous news.
Although OHIP will be assisting with the actual cost of the transplant itself, there are other significant expenses that OHIP will not cover mainly for essential procedures pre- and post-operation and any unforeseen expenditures. These pre- and post-operation procedures that are not covered by OHIP are being paid for with the funds that have been raised during the campaigning period. We are now in a financial position to be able to move forward with the transplant at this time! This is a real VICTORY for Dany.
Dany was admitted to the Karmanos Cancer Center in Detroit on January 7, 2008. According to the doctors there, he will need to stay in Detroit a minimum of three months, depending if all goes well. In our budgeting with Karmanos, we have not planned for any complications or changes. Therefore, the funds raised will greatly help with the additional expenses incurred and any costs that may arise due to potential complications.
So many people have helped and worked alongside us to get to the point we are now at! We are extremely grateful for the accomplishments and support up to this point, but we are now changing our focus. We want to shift all of our energies from fundraising to prayer, especially during the critical months of January and February.
We are asking the Lord Jesus Christ for the miracle of guiding the transplant and all the related procedures in order to restore Dany to excellent health.
The Mercado family is requesting that you join with them in prayer and fasting, asking the Lord to do this great work for Dany.
God bless you all!
