Sing is a 5-year-old boy in kindergarten. He has three brothers and he is the youngest in his family. His parents are garment workers in a local factory that makes t-shirts. When Sing is not in school he likes to play with toy cars with his brothers.
Sing has ptosis in his left eye. Ptosis occurs when the eyelid droops over the eye. He has had this condition since he was born. He feels uncomfortable at school because he can’t read the blackboard, and children make fun of his droopy eyelid.
Sing traveled to our medical partner’s care center to receive treatment. On January 7th, surgeons at our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), will perform an eyelid correction procedure to improve his vision. Now, Sing needs help to raise $314 to fund this procedure.
Sing’s mother said: “After surgery, I hope his eyelid looks normal like his brothers. He can go to school, and not be afraid that other children will make fun of him.”

Sing underwent eye surgery to heal his birth condition.
Sing’s eye surgery was a success! Sing and his parents traveled to our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre, to surgically repair his eyelid. He’ll rest for several days, before having his stitches removed in about a week. He looks forward to returning to kindergarten and plans to work and study hard as he grows up. His family is incredibly thankful to the staff, and for the success of the operation, as he can now grow up without being worried or self-conscious about his eye. We’re all rooting for you, Sing!
Sing’s mom said: “I am happy my son’s eye is better. He was ashamed to play with his friends because his eye looked bad. Now he can go to school, be with his friends, and feel good about himself. Thank you to everyone who helped him be a happy child.”
