Avisha Best, the 22-month-old who was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) last month, departed Guyana on Monday for emergency medical treatment in the United States, for which funds are still desperately needed. The announcement was made in a Facebook post made by non-governmental organisation Saving Hands Emergency Aid (SHEA). The estimated cost needed for Best’s treatment is US$20,000, which is equivalent to GY$4.1 million.(Stabroeknews)…[+]
