Message from Hospital Social Worker, 9/15/17:

Dear Jessica June Children’s Cancer Foundation,

This letter is on behalf of patient Kevin Diaz and his family. Kevin is a 17 Y/O boy, who received Acute Myelogenous Leukemia diagnosis. Kevin and his parents are originally from Venezuela, and his parents report a limited support system, as they do not have an extended family in Miami. Kevin has been receiving chemotherapy since March 2017, and is currently hospitalized after the Bone Marrow Transplant. The family reported that is under financial distress, and is seeking assistance to cover basic needs such as food and transportation expenses. Thank you so much in advance for all of the support and assistance that JJCCF provides through the Advocacy Program.

Kindly,
Nancy Mendoza, MSW
Pediatric Social Worker
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital

Plea from Mother, 9/15/17:

Greetings from the Diaz-Sirit family. Our 17 year-old son Kevin Alejandro Diaz Sirit, received a Leukemia diagnosis, and is hospitalized at the present time after a Bone Marrow Transplant. Currently, we stay at the bedside with him 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We are from Venezuela, and we do not have any family in the US. At the present, we do not have any income, and it is for this reason that we are in need to seek assistance with expenses such as food and transportation. Our son loves music, videos games, technology such as cell phone, tablet and computers. Since he was born, Kevin has been a dreamer, and he has many to pursue, like helping other people. With this is mind we ask for your help, so Kevin can achieve his dreams.

Sincerely,
Joscar Diaz and Sandra Sirit
