Raising Funds to save her eye
checked my mails today,
a member of tvxq fanclub (she's incharged of their concert petition) sent me an e-mail,
not about the follow-up of the petition, in fact it's about raising funds for a girl.
Yvonne Foong, who has appeared herself on
newspapers, tv and charity events to tell everyone about herself.
She's pursuing her psychology degree at SEGI college, and often plan events to sell t-shirts to collect funds for her radiation fees.
She's suffering from
Neurofibromatosis Type 2.
She is the author of the book "I'm Not Sick, Just A Bit Unwell" (i never read before though)
Neurofibromatosis Type 2 is genetic disorder that makes tumors grow in the brain, spine, and along peripheral nerves.
She has become deaf in both ears. She has an Auditory Brainstem Implant that helps her to perceive sounds, but it is limited and may take many years to train. Imagine how heartbreaking it must be to not be able to enjoy wonderful music the way we do. Yet, we take such enjoyment for granted most of the time.
She was also born with an under-developed left eye. So vision in her right eye is very important. It must be preserved.
She needs funds to undergo a Gamma Knife Radiosurgery on 28 February 2009, which will kill an optic nerve tumor and save her remaining right eye.
The amount required for the operation is Ringgit Malaysia 94,000.00. As of today, she has only managed to raise RM37,346.62. The surgery will be done at Good Samaritan Hospital, Los Angeles. She has gone through many surgeries since 2002 and have very limited physical abilities such as profound deafness, underdeveloped left optic nerve, low right visual acuity, poor balance and semi facial paralysis.and is trying to gather funds for her operation. She needs to raise in order to save her remaining right eye.
As i browse through her website, coincidentally found out she's a member of HOMANIACS (Leehom Malaysia Official an Club) too..
Unfortunately she's cant listen to his musics.
Sometimes these unfortunates remind us to appreciate how lucky we are.
