RossPHR has donated EC730 to Randy Gilbert to help him get a facial CT Scan and Maxillofacial surgery. Randy Gilbert is a 15 year old Dominican boy who was attacked by older boys for not vacating a basketball court. Randy sustained excessive facial injuries due to this brutal attack. He had managed to raise EC1400 on his own before he approached PHR for helping him cover the expenses of his travels, insurance, as well as the CT.

RossPHR continues to be thankful to those who contribute to the fund so we can help local people with their health needs.
