Guangdong Church Donates to Boy With Severe Beta Thalassemia

广东省一聚会点收到一面锦旗，因其捐助一地贫患儿。

一地贫患儿张伟杰（男，12岁）父亲于10月13日将一面锦旗送到惠州市大亚湾区基督教聚会点，以表达他们的感激之情，据惠州市基督教两会。

9月初，一老奶奶来到大亚湾区基督教聚会点求助。因为她的孙子张伟杰身患“重度β地中海贫血”，属高危重病患者。现急需进行骨髓移植手术，其姐姐的骨髓与其匹配成功。然而移植治疗费用高达100万元，其中自费项目仍需50多万元，而前期高昂的治疗费用已耗尽家中所有积蓄。

大亚湾区基督教聚会点在堂会收支负增长、压力比较大的情况下，于9月28日，崔二立牧师及堂委会代表前往张伟杰家中，捐助人民币5000元。

A meeting point in China’s southeastern coastal Guangdong Province received a pennant for donating to a child with thalassemia.

The father of Zhang Weijie who is a 12-year-old boy with thalassemia, sent a pennant to a meeting point on October 13 in Daya Bay District, Huizhou City, to express their gratitude, according to Huizhou CC&TSPM.

In early September, an old grandmother came to Daya Bay Meeting Point for help since her grandson Zhang Weijie was a high-risk patient. As his sister's bone marrow was successfully matched, he urgently needed a bone marrow transplant. However, the cost of transplant treatment was as high as one million yuan, of which more than 500,000 yuan was at their own expense, with the treatment costs in the early stage exhausting all the family's savings.

Although the church administrative board couldn’t make the ends meet with high economic pressure, Rev. Cui Erli and representatives of the church council went to Zhang's house to donate 5,000 yuan on September 28.
