Ian Sklar hasn't added a story.
Thank you for looking at our plea for help. We are Ian and Ellen
Sklar. We need desperately and urgently to help Ellen's family in the
Philippines, the Tiempo family.
Their youngest daughter, Jessica, Ellen's little sister,
contracted TB and passed away yesterday evening (03 August). She was
only 18 years old. She could have survived had she had access to
proper medical care. The rest of the family are now also stricken
with TB, and their third daughter, Precy Tiempo, in addition to being
infected with TB, also has pneumonia; an absolutely deadly combination
that needs immediate treatment.
The Tiempos have been struggling financially all of their lives.
Elias Tiempo, Ellen's father, works hard to support his family, but
pay is very low in the Philippines. We send them whatever money we
can each month to supplement their income and it's normally enough to
get them by, but we've now sent them the maximum we can handle without
putting ourselves and daughter into danger. It isn't nearly enough to
cover funeral and medical expenses. We're frightened by what will
happen if they go untreated. We humbly ask you to please help us to
help them. All proceeds will be transferred directly to them for
treatment as well as funeral expenses for Jessica.
There are 8 in the Tiempo family which includes 3
grand-children, each under 5 years old, and all are ill. We are truly
grateful for whatever help you can give to them.

Thank you truly for your kindness and for any support you can
offer the Tiempos,
Ian & Ellen Sklar
