Saving Charmaine (2009)

The blue clouds
They spell out your name
The darkest nights
You shine in them

I love you
And I cant imagine
If youre not here with me

Its early days
But I know for sure
That what I feel
Is real sincere

Lets make this
The best time of our lives
To be my better half

Ill give you my word
That Ill treat you nice
Cause for my love
Ill sacrifice

Anything I could
Everything I would

Chorus

My love
Youre everything I could ask for
Your smile makes me happy
When tears makes me sad
And I know for sure
This is the best feeling I ever had

Your love
Brightens my dimmest light
Make my heart beats faster than before
And as days pass
Im gonna love you more
I promise

Bridge

I wanna say something to you
Theres no one else that swept me off my feet
Like the way you do

And all I want is you
I promise that our love would shine
And may it be with you

Charmaine Lim, a 4 year-old Singaporean girl diagnosed with a rare cancer, Neuroblastoma, stage 4. The fact that the cancer had spread to her liver and bone marrow places her in a high risk category. She is fighting the disease courageously and had undergone 4 rounds of chemotherapy. She had also undergone a surgery 4 days back, to remove the tumor from her liver.

What is her story?

Doctors attending to her had given her a mere 10-20% chance of survival even after she finishes her treatment at a local hospital. However, Charmaine's chances can be significantly increased to 40-50% should she receive treatment with a drug (3F8) which is currently under clinical trial, conducted only at Memorial Sloan Kettering Caber Center (MSKCC) in NYC.

Charmaine's doctors had written MSKCC and in their reply, the center would only decide to admit Charmaine for treatment should an upfront payment of USD350,000 (~SGD500,000) be placed as a deposit. This amount excludes all other expenses that will be incurred in the course of seeking treatment in NYC.

Why are we helping?

Charmaine's mother, Ms Cynthia Lim, is a single parent who had recently given up her job to provide full-time care for Charmaine. She could not afford the cost of treatment and had appealed publically for donations.

When I wrote this song, I felt so much love that somehow I had to write it down and sing it. Now, watching this video, it takes the song to a whole new level.
