I received an email from Miss YC and the following words were typed out. I figured i'd do my bit in helping out and here's a chance to spread the word. So please have a read...
What's the story?
I stumbled upon Yvonne Foong's website by chance. Being a drama queen who whines n complains gila babi when the world doesn't revolve around me puts me to shame after spending more time understanding her situation.
At the peak of her youth, Yvonne's diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder called Neurofibromatosis Type 2 (A rare inherited disorder resulted by genetic mutations which causes growth of tumors in the nervous system, commonly involving the cranial, spinal and auditory nerves (brain, spine and ears). With its broad clinical spectrum, NF2 patient may develop a wide range of distinct problems such as symptoms of nausea, balance problems, partial facial paralysis, changes of vision, numbness or weakness in the arms or legs, fluid buildup in the brain and most importantly the loss of hearing.)
Yvonne suffered sudden health deteriorations that robbed her bodily capabilities, became deaf, and soon had difficulty balancing. To date, Yvonne has undergone 1 spine and 3 brain surgeries.
Despite having went through four surgeries, many tumours are growing in Yvonne's brain, spine, and along peripheral nerves. To monitor her health, Yvonne requires periodic MRIs, expensive doctor consultations, eye examinations, X-Rays, and many more.
Just recently, a cluster of tumours were newly discovered inhibiting her right optic nerve. Doctors in Malaysia tested her eyes and concluded that they could not do anything about it. Yvonne is set to see an Neuro-Ophthalmologist at UCLA in May. She is determined to save her eyesight, and nothing can stop her from believing.
Yvonne's one of the most courageous young women I've ever met, she deserves every single piece of respect that I have to offer. Instead of letting the incurable disease get in the way of her dreams, she took the world with all the strength that she has.
What's YC's deal?
I've sponsored four handmade dresses by Drama Mama under the label of Blackjettas Design for Yvonne's fundraising which will soon be up for auction on Ebay. During the month-long charity auction, a new dress will be up for bidding each week.
