Allow Ricardo Bermudez to come to the United States on a medical visa for a bone marrow transplant to Virginia Peterson

Created by E.P. on May 14, 2014

My Uncle Ricardo Bermudez has been denied by the United States Embassy in the Philippines to come to the United States on a medical visa so he may donate his bone marrow to hopefully cure my mother of myelofibrosis before it develops into a more dangerous form of leukemia. The hardest part of this situation typically is finding a donor, yet we found one only months after her diagnosis. The problem we face is getting the United States Embassy to allow my uncle passage into the United States for the procedure, and as quickly as possible. My mother's life should not be at risk due to things that are out of her control, and as her son, it is my duty to do anything and everything in the world to help her.
