Filipe is a Brazilian 4-year-old boy who came to the US in November 2011 in hopes that a chemo drug available here and not in Brazil would help treat his cancer (LCH) and make him well. After being seen by top experts at Dana Farber Cancer Institute and having a liver biopsy, the doctors determined that the urgent need was for Filipe to have a liver transplant. His liver is affected by both the LCH and his secondary disease (Sclerosing Cholangitis). The ONLY chance for him to survive is a lifesaving liver transplant. There is no cure for his diseases. Unfortunately Filipe is not eligible for health insurance here in the US. Massachusetts General Hospital has estimated that the family will need $509,970.00 for the liver transplant, and related medical expenses. They have currently raised about $300,000 and our push is to help in raising the last $200,000. For more info: http://www.helpfilipe.com/
