"Every Child Has A Right To Live"

"I am pretty broken up" said Denver attorney Tim Paynter. "I have been trying to help a little kid in Mexico suffering from a rare, often fatal disease."

According to Paynter, the child might die if he does not get help soon.

The 11 year old boy, who is lying in a hospital in Durango, Mexico, is the victim of Hemophagocytic Limphohisti0cytosis Syndrom, or HLH.

Paynter says he consulted with experts in the field. They said the child needs aggressive treatment or he may die. In this case, aggressive treatment includes chemotherapy and possibly a bone marrow transplant.

Hospital General De Durango in Mexico wanted payment in advance for an expensive medication called gamma globulin. The family forked over $400 a day for 5 days in advance, on threat of the child being sent home to die.

"Unless he receives help Eduardo will probably die."

Paynter said the expert from the Histocytosis clinic in Cincinatti, OH, which is likely the foremost clinic in the United States for HLH, said Gamma Globulin alone is rarely adequate to preserve life.

"Treatment could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars."

"After talking to the expert, yesterday, I found out treatment could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars!" My lord Paynter said, a tear falling from his eye. "We thought we were doing great coming up with over $2,000 in a few days."

Paynter said he has been frantically knocking on doors full time during the past week trying to find funds for the child.

"Every door I knock on gets slammed in my face!"

Paynter said he called Catholic Charities when the family needed the initial $2,000.

"We only help people in this country"

"Sorry, we only help people in this country" she said.

Then he called the Good Will, was referred to the Salvation Army who sent him back to Catholic Charities, Then he called the Shriners. They don't do this kind of work and if they did, it would be in Mexico for a Mexican boy.

"'I have treated a lot of Mexican children' the guy on the other end of the line told me defensively. He did not get the point of my post."

The guy with Angel Flight did. Angel Flight are volunteer pilots who transport sick people at no charge.

"We don't knowingly transport illegal aliens" the voice on the other end of the line told Paynter.

"At least that guy understood I was talking about Mexican nationals in specific, and not Hispanics in general."

"It was the presumption that the Salazar's were illegal because they are Latino and coming from Mexico that bothered me." said the attorney. "I am sure the chap had the best of intentions. He is so conditioned by the plague of hate that he could not see how his assumption was offensive."

"I can't even get the Mexicans to give to Mexicans." Paynter said and then explained his play on words.

He says Mexcian Nationals who have immigrated here legally won't help. He said he has been knocking at the door of Piolin Por La Manana, the most popular radio show host in the Latino world, to no avail.

"To be fair to Eduardo Sotelo, the person behind the Piolin personality, I presume I have his company email, which is another story. I also presume he read the email. Here is a guy who advocates for Latino sick and oppressed and I can't get a response."

The attorney added, to be fair to the community that knows the Salazar family, Latinos and others, the giving has not stopped. If they know us they give. Why is it poor people are the ones to always give?

The Denver attorney has sent emails to Mark Hurd at HP. No word. Can you imagine what Fox News, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly and god forbid, Lou Dobbs would give? Nothing. What do you think?

"No one cares about a Mexican."

The American public says it does not discriminate against Mexicans. Paynter says what we really mean is we don't discriminate against Hispanics. But discrimination against Mexican nationals who are in this country is rampant. That is what we call discrimination based upon national origin.

"You can't discriminate against either one, race or national origin."

"So why should we discriminate against a terrified mother as she holds her child, screaming in pain, just because they are Mexican nationals in Mexico? Maybe we can't save every child, but we can save Eduardo Salazar. Maybe tomorrow it will a child near you who needs the help.

"If You don't like the title, why not get out your check book and help Eduardo?"

"If you don't like the title to the piece, then why not get your checkbook out and help this kid out? If you don't do it right now you will probably forget..."

"You see" Paynter said, finally relaxing as he sat back in his char, "When it comes to our children, everyone regardless of race or nationality has something in common. We agree, Every child has a right to live. Especially if that child is mine."
