AN APPEAL TO ALL THOSE WILLING TO HELP

Dear Sir/Madam,

  The Board of "LIVER" The Association to Help Children with Bileduct and Liver Diseases, having its office in Cracow, appeals to all people of good will to offer further financial help to the 16-year-old ADRIAN POLESZUK, who has had a successful family liver transplant in the NECKER Hospital in Paris.

  ADRIAN POLESZUK is now receiving a very expensive pharmacological therapy (no refund from medical insurance for drugs so they have to be paid by his parents in the amount of ca PLN 25,000 annually) and though he lives at home, twice in a year the NECKER hospital in Paris requests his to come, accompanied by one of his parents (donor of a part of liver), for 14-day check-up examinations. This involves high costs which the boy's parents are unable to fully cover.

The cost of one check-up visit and the medical examinations is estimated at ca PLN 12,000.

  Thanks to the activity of LIVER Association in Cracow, since June 1992 until now, the lives of 82 children have been saved in West-European hospitals co-operating with the Association. 63 children have had successful liver transplants (by various methods), 2 have been qualified to receive family liver transplants in Paris and Brussels.
This has been possible due to the generosity of a number of kind hearted people from Poland and abroad.

Payments in PLN and in foreign currencies can be made to the Association bank account:

WE WISH TO THANK FOR ALL DONATIONS IN THE NAMES OF ADRIAN, HIS PARENTS AND OUR OWN.

The Board of LIVER Association to Help Children.

All our voluntary workers bear badges authorising them to collect money for the above purpose.
