A testimony of B.I.G. Love -
“Daman passed away 7-31-12. We knew the chances were not promising when
he was diagnosed in February 2010, but he was able to fight the acute myeloid
leukemia for two and a half years until we ran out of curative options. My wife
and I want to thank your B.I.G. love team for all the love and kindness you
provided. Daman really looked forward to your visits.” Daman’s Dad
