Exclamation Savig Della (Member of Delta Sigma Theta)

Della Latonia Lynch Riley is dying from a rare illness called Scleroderma, which in the Greek language means “hard skin.” It is not cancer. It is not contagious. Researchers are not sure why people suddenly develop it. These are the bare facts: (1) Beyond divine intervention, Latonia has one chance for life. (2) She must undergo a stem cell transplant, the only procedure that has proven effective against this illness. (3) We must raise $200,000 for this radical treatment/surgery that we have been told must be paid for in advance. She and her care giver must also have at least $2,000 per month to reside in Seattle for up to four months. (4) Latonia’s life depends on our raising the necessary money in time. If you can not donate money, please donate a few seconds of your time to forward this email to at least 10 people in your mailing list. Della's life is depending on our success in this campaign. Visit the "Saving Latonia Foundation" web site at www.savingdella.com for more information.

I'm glad...

that this was pulled to the top. I have a friend whose mother is suffering from this disease now. I'd like to know if there was any resolution, too.
