Hello fellow vapers!

I just received an email from a friend of mine who's young daughter, Cristina, needs a bone marrow transplant in order to save her life. I knew Cristina since she was a cute little 3 yr old. She has gone thru h*ll these past few years suffering from stomach disorders as I have. We all thought it was a case of IBS or Celiac.

She dropped down to 60 + pounds when her father finally found a specialist in Toronto's Sick Children's Hospital & made an issue for them to take Cristina in for testing. Much to the hospitals protests, due to the fact that Cristina was slightly older than their maximum admission age, they finally gave in. They started her immediately on intravenous feeding. They thought she was an "Anorexic". Thanks to her dads perseverance in trying to get the doctors to understand that Cristina wanted to eat and not take the doctors dismissal of her case, she was finally sent for the costly "genetic testing", which is covered by OHIP in Canada, but is not made to aware to the general public, due to the high costs of the blood tests. ie: $10,000 +.

Please read the link below about Cristina and pass around to all you know in this world. Cristina will not live much longer if she does not find a compatible donor. You never know who will come forward to save this lovely young girls life.
