Funds Are Dwindling
For Leukemia Patient

KIMBERLY LIFTON

Staff Writer

A

trust fund set up to
defray the cost of
cancer treatment for
Jonathan Cohen is rapidly
depleting, and his family
doesn't know if they will
have sufficient funds to pay
bills.
Mr. Cohen, 20, of
Southfield, who was diag-
nosed with leukemia in
December 1989, underwent
a bone marrow transplant at
Harper Hospital in Detroit
on May 17. He has remained
in the hospital since the
surgery.

Insurance pays for most of
Mr. Cohen's medical bills,
but it did not cover the donor
expenses, said his mother,
Charlene Ehrlich.
In November, Mrs. Ehrlich
had spent most of the
$25,000 raised through a
fund set up by Rabbi Martin
Berman of Congregation
Beth Achim. More money

was raised, but the fund now
is down to $12,000.
She said doctors told her to
expect bills to total at least
$150,000. It is not yet known
when Mr. Cohen will be
released from the hospital,
but he will be under a doc-
tor's care for at least two
years from the date of
release, Mrs. Ehrlich said.
Radiation treatments
taken before the transplant
wiped out his immune
system, so Mr. Cohen will
experience severe reactions
to any ailment, including a
common cold, she said. "His
immune system won't be up
to par for two years," she
said. "He has to wear a mask
outside.
"He loves to get cards and
mail," she said.

Cohen can be sent to the

Mayor Rothstein
Will Be Honored

Mayor Charlotte Rothstein
will be honored by the corn-
munity 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Aug. 25
at the dedication of Rothstein
and Victoria Parks.
The dedication is part of the
official opening of the parks,
which span the new decks
over 1-696. Rothstein Park is
behind the Jewish Communi-
ty Campus and Victoria Park
is behind the new Sally Allan
Alexander Beth Jacob School'
for Girls on 10 Mile Rd.
The parks are the result of
years of work by Mayor Roth-
stein along with Jewish com-
munity leaders to ensure that
the construction of 1-696
would not destroy the vitali-
ty of Oak Park or cut access
for Sabbath-observant
residents from their
synagogues.
Rothstein Park's recrea-
tional equipment includes
shuffle board courts, game
tables, an outdoor stage, ben-
ches, a walking trail, a
physical fitness course and
modern play equipment.
Victoria Park, which is
across Church St. from Roth-
stein Park, has three new
play structures.
The afternoon festival will
include an art fair,. food
booths, a frisbee demonstra-
