Helping Baby Aden

Dear Friends,
This is another heartbreaking case that I just came across today. Baby Aden was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) and will be currently undergoing stage 1 chemotherapy treatment, at the tender age of just 3 months old. The treatment will take 2-3 years and is estimated to cost up to S$400,000. Baby Aden family is seeking for our kind support to help them cope with the high medical bills, as they are in a tight financial situation with minimal savings.
Baby Aden's dad is the sole breadwinner for their family of 4 and he is working as a driver. Aden's mum, Angel, is a stay home mum taking care of him and his 3 yrs old brother. The medical worker helping the family is able to get financial assistance (medifund) to cover 40% of the inpatient bills while the family needs to pay the rest by medisave, cpf and cash. For the outpatient bills from the regular follow ups and scans, Aden's family will to need to pay off by cash. This is worrying as they have a series of checks/ scans upcoming as Baby Aden is currently having a throat infection, which doctors fear may spread to his eyes, heart, stomach and brain. The suggested treatment for his leukemia is as follow, stage 1 (2-3 months), stage 2 (3-4 months) and stage 3 (bones marrow transplant).

For visitation of Baby Aden, the doctors have advised no visiting for the time being as Baby Aden has low immunity at this moment.
For all well wishes and encouragement, pls leave a comment in this thread (so we don't flood her inbox), I will let Angel know of your concern and kind thoughts.
Thank you everyone for your kindness !
