Re: Letter Regarding Lilibet Sister of Liana

To Whom It May Concern:

The purpose of this letter is to present Lilibet. She is an 18 year old Hispanic female. Lilibet’s sister- Liana- was diagnosed with cancer. She underwent chemotherapy. Soon after Liana completed the treatment, Lilibet was diagnosed with cancer as well- abdominal mass/malignant Sarcoma Rhabdo, (February 2010).

Lilibet will have to miss work- she worked at a bank. Needless to say, her parents have not been able to look for work since both daughters have been ill. The father had a job interview on the day Lilibet was diagnosed. The family is facing trying times and the income is very limited.

The mother has asked me to present this letter. Lilibet has been greatly affected by the present situation. She is receiving chemotherapy and has been ill. The parents are trying to be there for both daughters.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 786-596-6578 or 786-594-9134.

Thank you,
Gloria M. Ortiz, MSW
