“My daughter’s condition has caused me much stress and worry. I am really worried that the mass will grow and cover my baby’s eye and give her long-term problems. I really want my daughter to be completely healthy and have a better life than we have,” says Wan Nam’s mother.
Wan Nam, a seven-month-old girl from Thailand, has a benign tumor below her left eye. After receiving a CT scan, Wan Nam’s doctors decided that she would need surgery to have the bump removed.
“Although it doesn’t currently cause her any physical discomfort it could grow larger and further obstruct her development,” they explain.
Wan Nam’s “father works as a construction laborer and her mother is a full-time care giver,” continues our medical partner. The family, though, is unable to afford treatment.
For $1500, we can pay to remove Wan Nam’s mass. “She will be able to grow up as a normal, healthy baby and her parents will be able to stop worrying about her condition,” her doctors say.
