  Hi Everybody - I am sorry to have to post these very sad photos but I am stuck for help. Tina is desperate, things are getting worse & the pain is now is to unbearable for her and we need a doctor. She urgently needs pain medicine to take away the pain of what looks like a tumour pushing out her eye socket (again sorry) No child in Lombok should die hungry or in pain. Local man Endri shared these photos with me & had a morning of tears of sadness with the family. A family after 5 years of seeing there daughters condition diminish was amazed & so happy for his arrival with supplies, and just to know some people in the world cared. Tina's family need $27 a week for liquid pain medicine which they are struggling with. No one in Tina’s life wants to help and local people call her 'the monster'... and from this it has traumatised her of people & her village. The pain and growth in her eyes is too painful for her to bear and she has been banging her head on the wall and doing all sorts of sad things to commit suicide. (see the scares from cuts on her face) Tina is a good diligent girl and keeps their simple house spotless while parents work extremely hard for the pain medicine she needs. Appreciate those that share this to others who may have connections to help.
