Tumor is spreading and Christopher Bowman needs your help

Christopher Bowman has lived with a tumor on his chest for most of his life. He has taken two surgeries in the United States to have it removed.  However, he has about eighteen more to go. And the bill is in the hundreds of thousands. Bowman contacted News Five because time may be running out as the tumor is now dangerously close to his spine and it is causing pain. It’s a sad situation for a young man of twenty-three years. But Bowman still has hope that life will get better. However he needs your help.

    This kid will never get better when all his mother does is spend the money that other people so generously gives to him because she refuses to work.All she does is walk the streets all day begging in his name and pocketing the money for herself. My thoughts and prayers are with him and I really hope he gets his health back because he is a very young guy who haven’t started to live yet.

    Hi Christopher , You should get someone who speak Spanish to call this Doctor by the name of Hawasaki in Mexico. He has a Japanese name but he speak Spanish. He has a revolutionary treatment that might take care of your problem and it will not cost no way near $200,000.00. Maybe $10,000.00 USD. His telephone # is 52-668-124-6080. After the first week treatment he may allow you to go back to Belize and have the treatment administered at home by a nurse.

    I wish you the best.
