My name is Marcus Torres. I live in Bartonsville, Pa. On 10/30/15 my mother and brother and his family lost their home and all their possessions due to severe flash flooding and storms in Austin, TX. I'm trying to raise money to help them start over with the basic things they need. Things like clothing, food, even a place to stay until their situation is straightened out. Any donation would be greatly appreciated.

Rico-Jay for a better life Created October 28, 2015

Rico -Jay has a dolicho-megacolon and ileostomy. Despite the ileostomy the complaints of intermittent abdominal pain in combination with swollen abdomen persisted as well as that he's always tired and gets high fever from nothing. He would love to be helped by Children's Hospital Boston , because the doctors in Holland think he's too complicated inside. Rico is the 30th patient in 20 years, with an ileostomy has been due to a dolichocolon which is still in his body. He also has the metabolic disease Alpha - 1 antitrypsin deficiency which makes getting fatter despite his diet. Rico -Jay just wants to be a normal child of his age and may finally get rid of his abdominal pain and prefers to get rid of his ileostomy. Rico Jay asks every day if there is enough money for Boston , every time as he ended up in the hospital, no one is doing anything to help him because they simply do not know. He is too young to have the life of a sick old man despite being the clown of the family. Rico-Jay and his family ( 2 brothers & 1 sister) don't have the money to pay the first estimate and there will be needed more for final treatment so please, make a difference and give Rico-Jay a better life! He, and his family, will be a lifelong grateful for your donation! Look at his Facebook 'Rico-Jay's dagboek' or the foundation site Stichting Rico-Jay To America Rico-Jay tells about his disease and why he wants to go to Boston (*Eng.subtitles) in the YouTubefilm his sister made.
