hello

Lavi, a beautiful, 18 months old baby was diagnosed with Canavan disease about a year ago. As soon as he was diagnosed, we started searching everywhere for special treatments and found Dr. Paula Leone from New Jersey's Cell & Gene Therapy Center (CGTC).  We raised donations and started treatment.  Lavi (who was blind, deaf and restless at this point) started to see, hear and react to the world. 

Now Lavi needs to undergo a brain surgery that has never been done before in order to survive.

In order to perform the surgery further research must be accomplished at the cost of 1.500.000 USD.  Due to the economical crisis in the States, three major grants have stopped their funding of the research.

Without completing the research, the NIH will not approve the surgery.

Therefore, we kindly ask for your help supporting the research by donating and by sharing our websites http://www.give2lavi.org/ , http://ow.ly/HLyf

and Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/Give2Lavi with your friends and family.

Thank you for taking part in this effort,
may you have an answer to our prayers.
