Silent friend reaches out to save 900-lb. Ricky Naputi

Published Sep 14, 2008

After bringing you the story of a 900-pound man seeking help to lose weight, it seems his guardian angel has answered his cries for help.  One local resident - who wishes to remain anonymous - has informed Ricky Naputi and his family he is willing to pay for Ricky's airfare to the Philippines, where he will have his gastro-bypass surgery done completely free of charge.  

"If somebody can help me, I really...want my life back." - Ricky Naputi, September 2

The only help Ricky needs now is to raise money for his hospital stay while in the PI.  Ricky says his family is already in the process of planning fundraisers.  If you would like to help, you can e-mail Ricky at rickynaputi@guam.net, or leave a comment on his YouNewsTV page on KUAM.com.
