Young Boy With Cancer Badly In Need Of Blood

A young boy in El Paso, suffering from leukemia, is in desperate need of blood.  Please read this to see how you may be able to help. 

A little boy from Alamogordo has been sent to El Paso for treatment as he battles leukemia.  Right now, he really needs blood and ... due to weird laws regarding blood donations ... his own family cannot donate.  (They are here with the German military, stationed in Alamogordo and only US citizens may donate.  I don't see why family can't get around this law, but that's the law.) 

Noel requires so much though that, even if family could donate, it still would not be enough. Unfortunately he is far to ill to travel; so going home is not an option.

You can find this young man on facebook by clicking on this link. http://www.facebook.com/#!/messages/100003269272345
