No News, 11 YO Fighting For Life, HLH Syndrome, Childhood Diseases Deadly

For our new followers, Eduardo Salazar Rivera is an 11 year old boy fighting for his life against a childhood disease called HLH Syndrome, or Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. This disease is a rare illness difficult to diagnose. It strikes mostly children. Those who acquire it through infection, as Eduardo apparently has, have a 70% chance of recovery if they get the right treatment protocol. Those who do not get appropriate treatment usually die within 2 months.

Little Eduardo has been through hell. Last we heard he had suffered hemorrhaging and he lost over a pint of blood. There was the night of miracles in which the doctors said it would take one for him to pull through. He did. He now has a colostomy with a significant portion of his bowel removed.

We hope no news is good news. The family has been in crisis, and we have been praying for God's will. We have also been fund raising as the treatment for HLH is very expensive. Sad to say, Eduardo is not in the ranks of the lucky ones to receive the chemotherapy and bone marrow transplant that he likely needs. He still has a chance.

After all of that depressing news, let me give you something positive. Now is your chance to make a difference in this young man's life. We need donations of any amount. We are also accepting items to sell on eBay. Everyone has something they don't want.

Please help little Eduardo as if he were your own nephew or grandson. We are all children of God. We can't save every child with a rare illness, not yet at least. But we can save Eduardo.

Please send donations of money or things to be sold on eBay to:

Tim Paynter,
Attorney at Law

If you include your email we will tell you when your item comes up for sale, if you send items. That way you can see what the item sells for and be part of the Salazar Rivera family.

If you have a little one suffering from illness, please write and leave comments. Every child has the right to live. Let's celebrate our lives together and share in the wonders that we have been given.


Thanks you thank you thank you,


Dios Te Bendiga,
