I met Ali whilst doing a research project some years ago. He's a lovely, gentle and polite young man.

Ali had had sarcoma cancer in his leg and was receiving treatment, but unfortunately, there were complications of ischemia (restriction of blood supply to the tissue with the result of the tissue dying) and as there was no other treatment available his leg was amputated. Ali is now confined to bed or using a wheelchair as no prosthetic limbs are available. He has the same condition now in his other leg and seeks medical help to save it.

Ali's father works as a cleaner in the museum and the family has no money to pay for any treatments, so we are hoping to raise the funds via a public appeal.

We would also appreciate any information/singnposting on the below:

- Do you have any knowledge of cancer that might be of help to Ali?

- Are you aware of any charities that might help or that could supply a prosthetic limb.

Thank you very much indeed on behalf of Ali.
