Kim Hak is nine years old and in the third grade. He has three brothers and one sister. He likes to play ball with other children and watch TV.
Kim Hak has been diagnosed with neurofibromatosis, a disorder that causes tumors to form on nerve tissue. He had a tumor on his left eyelid, which was painful and swollen.
When Kim Hak’s family learned about our medical partner, Children’s Surgical Centre (CSC), they traveled for two hours to seek treatment. On December 6, CSC surgeons removed the tumor. After recovery, Kim Hak will feel comfortable again. CSC is requesting $224 to fund this procedure.
“I hope that my son has a normal eye,” says Kim Hak’s mother.
