People Join Hands to Help Woman Diagnosed with Rare Skin Disease

Three years back, Leslie-Anne Jenkins was diagnosed with a very rare kind of skin disease known as hyperkeratotic head and neck malassezia dermatosis that made her face look pathetic.
The treatment was so expensive that doctors were clueless about the medication of that rare skin infection. It seemed that they needed to invent a path breaking drug for providing treatment to Jenkins. Following the miserable state that Jenkins was in, she finally decided to seek help from the Health Ministry to provide finances for her disease that ended up costing her an astounding $600/month.
But instead of her request, the health ministry did not extend its helping hand to the poor lady but when the news flashed, surprisingly, people from all over Canada started sending donations and amazingly the required amount was arranged within three weeks.
Jenkins was overwhelmed to see, how unknown people extended a helping hand to provide her assistance. She further explained with great joy that she had no hopes that funds will be arranged for her treatment; but, the way people responded, it was something beyond her imagination.
She further said that it is unbelievable for her to know that unknown people sympathized for her and helped with the huge amount of money that was arranged within a period of three weeks only.
