Blogging for baby Rhiann Nicole

STILL NEED US$376 to pay this newborn's medical bills:

Baby Rhiann Nicole was born on December 14 of 2007 to WSU member Maryann Asis, Director of our Biliran chapter. She was born premature and has a congenital heart problem. The baby is seen here in an incubator where she still must stay. But the doctors say that the premature baby needs to go to a better hospital in Tacloban some hours drive from Naval, Biliran where the baby now resides there at the public hospital. We are asking our freinds out there to please help baby Rhiann Nicole. Her mother, Maryann, is a single mother (the father abandoned the mother and baby) and she lives in a nipa hut on a squatters village on the Island of Biliran. There is no money in the family and no support to be found so far. Since all the WSU funds and my own funds are depleted we need extra help. Please contact me here if you can help. (larriji@gmail.com) We can easily paypal or xoom the money to our WSU account and get the money to Maryann immediately. This money may save this babies life. We are asking for 15K peso (US$376) to pay for this babies hospital bills and to transport the baby to a better hospital where they have the facilities and expertise to find everything this baby needs to survive. Below is a note Maryann has written in Tagalog to tell her story:
