This letter is to inform you that the Harvest of Hope Foundation will accept donations towards the cost of a life-saving bone marrow transplant for six-year old Diana Olalde of Tifton, Georgia. Diana was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in May last year. She has been treated with chemotherapy but relapsed in August. The approximate cost of the transplant can range from $500,000 and up.
The Harvest of Hope Foundation was established in 1997 as a non-profit organization to provide emergency and educational financial aid to former and current migrant farmworkers and their families. Since its establishment, Harvest of Hope has distributed close to $600,000 for car repairs due to breakdowns, medical services, utilities, food, clothing, funeral expenses and scholarships to children of migrant farmworkers attending college.
