Boy needs surgery and donation for bone tumour

Good healthcare is necessary to everyone. But while essential services are available in the country, it is the cost of healing the sick that keeps many from receiving proper treatment. And that is the problem facing Arthur Stevens. Stevens came by our studios today because his son is afflicted with a condition that he simply cannot afford.

Arthur Stevens, Son Needs Surgery
“My son has a bone tumor in his right hand. I have been up and down at the hospital trying to get a headway from May and so far I haven’t got a headway. I would just like to appeal to the public to give me a little hand that I could just take my son out to take off—deal with the operation noh.”
