Child cancer survivor in need of a liver transplant

Posted: Updated:

BOSTON (FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) FOX 25's Maria Stephanos, Mark Ockerbloom, and Kevin Lemanowicz had the chance to spend time with a very brave boy on Thursday.

Filipe and his family travelled all the way to Boston from Brazil where the staff at Children's Hospital helped the 4-year-old fight a rare form of cancer.

While doctors were able to completely contain Filipe's cancer, chemotherapy treatments have worn down his kidneys. Now Filipe's family is fighting to raise $833,000 to pay for a liver transplant.

To make a donation to help Filipe, you can go to www.helpfilipe.com or text "time" to 50555 to donate $10.
