Hi Shy,
It is admirable how you are trying to do something to assist thal sufferers.I commend you for you tenacity.
Having said that I would like to point out that we already have thal sufferers dying, due to the lack of facilities Eg: drugs , needles .blood, ect,ect,
Would it be better for us all, if we can give support to those already existing recipients instead of giving fund to large coporations .
Why not? enhance the life of the living instead of giving money to all the fat cats.
Money given to all ready rich scientist get lost in translations, I personally think, it doesnt assist thal directly.
Indirectly maybe in years to come.
Why not help in any way we can, to fix the immediate social problem that thal sufferers is facing now.
The above is my personal view I might be wrong ,still I would give to individual in needs, it make better sense to me.
Like Andy he sometimes assist thal patients on personal basis as per thier needs I think he need the support in order to continue giving this type assistance.
