Appeal for help

Staff Correspondent
The father of an 11-year-old boy who has been suffering from osteosar-coma, a type of bone cancer, seeks financial assistance for his son's treatment.

Preetu, a student of class five, is now under the treatment of Dr Manish Agarwal at Tata Memorial Hospital, India.

As a temporary remedy, the ill-fated boy is being treated with chemotherapy. According to Dr Agawal, more treatment can bring the boy back to normal life, which will cost at least Tk 8 lakh.

But his father Abul Fazal, a government officer, cannot afford such expensive treatment. He appealed to the generous people to extend a helping hand to save his son's life.

Contributions can be sent to the following account: Md Abul Fazal, Savings Account No. 7973, Rupali Bank, Mohammadpur branch, Dhaka-1207.

Interested persons can also contact his family at 8151723 and 0172818506.
