Tragic story. It would be lovely if someone could help them finance the transplant.

I can't think of anything more frightening than being buried underground.She probably doesn't understand what death is yet.I don't like it.

Very sad.
I do wonder if it is wise to have another child that could inherit the same illness though.

I don't know how to feel about this. The child is 2 I don't think she'd really understand the concept of death enough to be scared of dying anyway, would she? Maybe it's something he's doing for himself?

Yes, that was my concern as well. Those poor people.

I do agree with this. I feel his intentions are good and he just needs to beleive he can do something to help her. I think his actions are bourne out of a feeling of total helplessness. I hope someone can help them.

Yeah it's awful, I don't even like to think about stuff like this, there really would nothing worse for a parent

Disturbing. Firstly, it seems like a weird thing to do, secondly it's a weird thing to share with the world... until I read that he can no longer afford his daughter's treatment and realised it's probably an attempt to raise money. I don't have a problem with that... if it was my child I'd probably do anything I could to save her, including this.
