Haiku To Help Ivy
UPDATE
Ivy has received the treatment! Click here to read the post where her mother announced it.
Thank you to all who posted about this and signed the petition! The internet can be used for good! 
*********
This little girl needs
treatment because she’s always
in the hospital.
She is young, vibrant.
You can see the life in her
eyes, the sweetness, love.
Only two years old,
she has been in hospitals
countless, painful times.
Her story is one
that no child her age should have.
Sickness. Blisters. Pain.
Her immune system
does not do the job for her
that it really should.
She misses out on
things that little kids her age
should get to enjoy.
You can help her… She
needs treatment that’s being denied.
Sign the petition.
Her mom wants her to
have treatment so she’ll have a
chance at normal life.
Please don’t turn away.
Help her. It costs you nothing.
The worth is priceless.
A few moments, place
your name on the document,
her life could improve.
Thank you, in advance.
Thank you for helping this child
turn her back on pain.

I have signed. And my Friday Haiku is for her- about her. And i linked back to Veronica’s post. I can only hope all of this helps in some small way, to change the mind of the Blood Board. The heartless Blood Board.

The petition is signed.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I had actually visited the Three Ring Circus site before, but didn’t read all I should have. Hopefully all we Americans can change the minds of some stuffy old Australians.

I’m on my way to sign the petition. Every Sunday I see such beautiful pictures of this little girl (and the whole family, really), and it breaks my heart that she hasn’t been able to get the treatment needed. Thank you for doing this, Lotus.
Suzanne
What a beautiful child. On my way to sign the petition.

I just signed.
I can’t believe people exist in this world who can sleep at night knowing they are keeping a little girl from treatment???
Shame on them!
Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I signed the petition here in Australia, guess it wouldn’t hurt to sign the American one too. She’s gorgeous isn’t she?

Love the haiku, you clever woman!
I signed it yesterday. It blows my mind that the treatment is available but she’s being denied it.
